Have you ever prayed for something and expected God to answer it like it was Amazon Prime same day delivery? As believers, we’ve all gone through that phase of praying for something and expecting it to come right away. One day I was laying in bed and it came to me “God is not Amazon Prime”. God is not someone we can order from and expect it to be delivered to our front door with a snap of a finger. Answered prayers take time, they take love, patience and God’s hand on it before it can be given. On this episode we’re going to talk about this, along with a personal testimony of how God answered my “order” aka prayer, how long it took, the waiting season and how I got to where I am.

Scripture Reference for today’s episode:

Hebrews 6:13-15 NKJV “For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying “surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” and so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise”

Promises can be given to us by God, and they still take time. Even with prayer, we eventually have to endure the waiting season and wait for promise or answered prayer to come into fruition.

The Redeemed and Rooted Podcast was formed two years ago in my prayer closet. At the time I had no idea that it would be a podcast. I assumed it would be something for my body scrub business or my prayer journals never did I imagine it would be this.

My journey with Jesus has not been easy, but it’s been one that is well worth it. God has pulled me from so many things I could have not even imagined. God has held my hand and my heart through heartbreak, betrayal and divorce. With every piece of pain there has been a lesson. He has moved me into seasons I didn’t want to be in but knew it was for my well being. He’s put me in positions to solely lean on Him and depend on Him and His word. I am excited to share this journey with you, my many testimonies, of how God has redeemed me and how we can all be rooted in Christ. This introduction to the Podcast is being released on my birthday, so my birthday gift to you all is the joy of launching this and the first episode. Those of you who are new to Christ, welcome. Those of you who are returning, welcome home. Cheers to this new journey with Jesus!

And remember Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever💙
