And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out

day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

I tell you that He will avenge them speedily.

Luke 18:7-8

My Beloved,

I am so glad that you are here with Me. I am happy that even though the waiting is hard and it is taking longer than you would like, you have chosen to trust in My timing. I see you wondering how Me bearing long with you and avenging you speedily can both be true? Do I wait a long time to answer or do I act quickly? The answer is "yes" to both!

When I take a long time to answer, it is for a reason. But at the right time, the answer will come quickly. I will avenge you speedily. I will not put you off forever. Why did I tell the parable of the widow who kept coming to the judge asking for justice against her adversary? You don't find out who or what her adversary was or how it affected her; you only know what she said, that she was persistent and the judge finally gave her what she asked for. I told you this parable to show you that you should pray and never give up.

Mordecai was a man who had to wait. For years he was a Jewish captive in the land of Persia. He raised his cousin, Esther, there and she became queen. The king did not know she was a Jew or that Mordecai was her cousin. Haman, the most powerful official in the Persian empire, hated Mordecai because Mordecai refused to bow down to him when he would pass by. So Haman devised a plan to have all the Jews exterminated. When Mordecai became a palace official, he would sit at the city gate every day so he could keep up with what was going on. That's when Mordecai heard about the plot to kill the Jews. Through a series of events and in a twenty-four hour period, the scheme was exposed and Haman was hung on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Furthermore, Mordecai was honored by the king, and an edict went out allowing the Jews to defend themselves against their enemies on a given day. And that's how the speedily of God works!

Who or what is your adversary? What are you asking justice for? Are you willing to wait while I bear long with you? Will you keep crying out day and night to Me? Will you persevere until the speedily comes? And guess what? The speedily will bring great joy and even more. Just like Mordecai not only got what he was asking for, he got much more! Know, that when you have to wait a long time for Me to move, it is worth the wait. When I finally step into action, you will be in the speedily of God.

My presence is here now for all who are waiting.

Your Righteous Judge,

Jesus
