We are continuing with the subject of preparation, the promise may not only involve personal preparation such as education or preparation of the heart, and things being worked out of us and worked into us so that we are properly prepared, but there may also be the preparation of other people who are to be involved in the manifestation of the promise. In the case of ministry, there is not only the preparation of the vessel, but also the preparation of the message within the vessel, and then the preparation of the ones who are ordained to recieve the message from that vessel to carry it to other places.
Years ago in the 80's I and others we're recieving a "word" that wasn't to be released until 20 years later into the body of Christ. Had I and others not waited until the right time to release it, it would have been a word out of season, which means, it wouldn't have been received, and the maturity would not have been there both in the vessels to minister the word in the proper way nor in the vessels who were to recieve it in a proper way.
You know that word that keeps getting prophesied over you, yet there seems to be no fullfillment? Perhaps you've said to yourself or others out of frustration, "If I get that word one more time, I'm gonna scream!". There may be a principle at work that you haven't thought of. In order for the prophetic word to come to fulfillment sometimes there must be "mass and momentum" built up behind it so that it can break out of the spirit realm into manifestation in the natural realm. How does mass and momentum build? When it involves prophecy, it comes through the prophetic word being repeated and released over and over. Even in the case of Jesus, it was prophesied numerous times before He showed up on the earth. God will do this not only for the purpose of the "mass and momentum" effect, but also because His word must be established. As the prophetic word is released repeatedly, it's also being established in the heavenly realm and in this earth realm.
Sometimes there are things that must be worked into and out of our lives and character before we can qualify to enter into the promise. Qualities such as endurance, patience, maturity, restoration and stability may need to be worked into us while impatience, immaturity, wounds and instability may need to be worked out of us. In order for these things to be worked into and out of us we must go through the process. The process is never easy, and most try to avoid it at all cost because it is uncomfortable and can even be painful.
