"If breakthrough was coming, it would have happened by now."
How it sounds in your head: I'm ninety-plus years old. If God was going to break this cycle, He had nine decades to do it. The window closed. I missed it.
"And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him."
-- Genesis 21:1-2Enemy: Creates false statute of limitations on God's promises, suggesting His timing has human expiration dates.
Nine decades of unchanged circumstances creates the overwhelming feeling that if change was possible, it would have already occurred. Age seems to have closed the door on breakthrough.
Sarah was ninety years old, decades past menopause, physically impossible to conceive. God gave her Isaac at exactly the time He promised, proving that His timing isn't limited by human biology or age, and delay doesn't equal denial.
I REFUSE the lie that I missed my window. IT IS WRITTEN that Sarah conceived at NINETY at the SET TIME of God - decades of waiting didn't cancel the promise. God's timing is perfect, not late. IT IS WRITTEN that with God nothing is impossible. He's the God of the eleventh hour, the final breath, the impossible situation. The BARAK blessing doesn't have an expiration date. Abraham received the covenant promise at 75 and saw Isaac at 100 - 25 years of delay. I am not too old, not too late, not beyond God's ability to move suddenly and shockingly.
Your Father isn't frustrated by your age - He's the God who gave Sarah a baby at ninety and made her the mother of nations. He's been working even when you couldn't see it, and His 'set time' doesn't consult your birth certificate.
