"No More Delay! God is Delivering on His Word!"

The Speeding Mail Truck

Recently one night, while driving to teach my monthly prophetic class, I saw something that I have never seen before in my life: a speeding U.S. mail truck! This was so incredibly unusual, it immediately got my attention. I have seen thousands of mail trucks, moseying along, taking their time, stopping at each mail box along the way. But I have NEVER seen one speeding and weaving in and out of traffic on a congested, major Houston thoroughfare, that is, not until this night!

The mail truck zoomed passed me on my left, immediately switched lanes in front of me, and zoomed passed another car back into the left lane again, only to come to a screeching halt at the very next stop light. When the light turned green again, I watched the mail truck race down the road weaving in and out of heavy traffic. It soon disappeared into the distance. Since it was so very unusual I continued to think about it, even after I couldn't see it anymore.

My thoughts were, "Well, maybe he has forgotten some mail and needs to get it before the station closes." Then my next thought was, "Or, he could be rushing to pick up a package and get it to the airport." Suddenly, the enormity of the prophetic implication hit me. "This mail truck is speeding to make deliveries!" I thought to myself. I realized that this was a prophetic picture of God delivering on His Word.

How God is Delivering on His Word to Us

1. God is speedily bringing forth the prophetic word so He can fulfill it. "Then said the LORD unto me, 'Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten My word to perform it'" (Jeremiah 1:12 KJV).

2. He is rushing to deliver words that have already been given. "So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11 KJV).

3. He is speedily making deliveries of His prophetic promises! "...not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed" (Joshua 23:14, ESV).

We KNOW the fulfillment and the manifestations of His promises are on the way! Just as when we order something online, we own it. Even though it hasn't been dropped on our doorstep yet, we know it's ours. Just like a check in the mail or a birthday present...we know it's coming but we just haven't seen it yet. Be assured, however, He is delivering it to us FIRST CLASS – special delivery!

This is a right here, right now anointing, because God is a right here, right now God. No more delay. No more waiting. God is rushing to bring us the things that He has promised us, even if some promises have been lying dormant for a long time.

Decreeing His Word and Establishing His Promises

"Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways." (Job 22:28)

Years ago I looked at a house to buy that had two staircases, one of which led down into the kitchen. I fell in love with that idea, and had always wanted a home with two staircases since then. Recently, God has orchestrated an unbelievable series of events that have allowed us to both bless and be blessed with the end result that soon my husband and I will be moving into a house with two staircases! This was a suddenly moment that was twenty years in the making.

This also works with our authority when we speak a thing! Just the other day, while fixing the siding on the back porch, I moved the ladder and a tool fell onto my hand, bruising it. Moments later, one of our workers sat down and said that a tree branch had fallen on his toe and broken it! Within just a few seconds, his boss came to me and said that he couldn't move his trailer because the tongue of the hitch had twisted and broken. About that time I started to rebuke the enemy out loud, calling into play the Scriptures that I knew would stop him in his tracks.

Absolutely NOTHING ELSE happened after that. In fact, I prayed for the worker's toe, and he got healed! He confessed later that he was just fine. I also prayed for my hand with the same results – healed. Miraculously, somehow, the trailer tongue got untwisted because the boss moved his trailer and left to get more supplies. My point is this: the effect of praying the Word of God was IMMEDIATE damage to the kingdom of darkness. Because this was a "right here, right now" anointing, when the Word of God left the chambers of my heart and headed for my mouth (see Matthew 12:34), it gained power and authority! When I spoke it into the atmosphere, these same, powerful, authoritative words became invincible.

My prayer for us all today is that we would know the times that we are in. This is an absolutely unprecedented time for those who love the Lord and are followers of Christ Jesus. We will see instantaneous miracles and wonders! We will see immediate healings. We will decree a thing, and no sooner will the words leave our mouths than we will see them manifest. Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father" (John 14:12 KJV).

It's TIME, right here, right now. Let's do those greater things!
