Spiritual pregnancy

Wait on the Lord. Waiting isn't a sign that you are "not favored". Do not allow the enemy to deceive you. He will show you all the people who are cuddling their spiritual babies and will tell you God has forsaken you. However, remember, the race is not given to the swift but to those who endure until the end. 

As you wait, your spiritual baby is maturing. You are experiencing changes as well. For instance, your body transforms tremendously (weight, skin tone, hair, nails, etc.). Also, your eating habits, will change as well. You may find yourself eating things like eggs and peanut butter! This is the world of pregnancy.

Now after you have endured nine months of this metamorphosis, the delivery of your spiritual baby is inevitable (unavoidable). 

Right now many are feeling labor pains; others are feeling nauseated (beginning stage of pregnancy). Keep in mind that being pregnant is not about being "cute." Listen, while your body is undergoing numerous changes (some not so lovely), and when those contractions occur, you will understand that being "cute" or impatient will work against you. 

Therefore, wait and worship Yahweh because sooner than later you will give birth!

Now, let us break this down spiritually. When you are pregnant with destiny, you will have to pray, fast, mourn, shout, declare the Word of God, fight demonic oppositions, endure rejection, study, wait, cry, trust the people God sends to help you, forgive, etc.

While you are consistent in those spiritual matters, your spiritual man becomes stronger and the fruit of the Spirit develops in you. As a result, you will give birth in season (meaning you will accomplish what God has for you systematically but according to His timing).

Rub your belly and speak to the baby that is growing inside of you. This is also applicable to men. Why? Because we are speaking spiritually. And for those of you who are ready to deliver, get the nursery ready and ask God for a mature midwife. Your time is now. Listen to the sound of your water breaking. Now feel the flow of the water running down your legs. Your baby is entering into the physical realm. Hallelujah!
