2. Times, Seasons, and Opportunities

Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com When I first gave my life to the Lord Jesus, I threw everything onto Him. My life was a wreck, and I desperately needed Him— …in every decision, …in every crisis, …and even to help me handle my successes! Needless to say, I had a fervent, consistent prayer life. But when answers seemed slow to come, the “old timers” would say, “Be patient—God will answer in His own time.” I knew they meant well, but something in me felt they were simply repeating what they had heard, without truly understanding what the Bible teaches about times, seasons, and opportunities. Then, God led me through a powerful time of prayer and Bible study that opened my eyes to understand His timing. I realized that many “old saints,” though sincere, didn’t have a clear understanding of these issues. But when I grasped what Scripture really says about God’s timing, my walk with Him changed forever. It made me patient as I stepped into His promises. I stopped panicking when answers seemed delayed. I understood that patience is not just waiting—it’s a vital, faith-filled force that keeps us from wavering, so we can receive what God is freely giving (James 1:4–7). Join me this week for a message that will end impatience, silence doubt, and give you the confidence to know that God hears you every time you pray: Times, Season & Opportunities!
