"The PATIENCE to WAIT on the VISION!"

The Holy Spirit constantly reminds us that we are not able to endure the adversity, trials and tribulations of life through no great power of our own or devotion to our individual principles or not because of some sense of duty to God; but ONLY because we have been given a vision of (from) God!

Perhaps Lazarus had a vision of himself being raised from the dead...

The thing that trips us up is TIME. Our patience is adversely impacted by "how long" something takes to manifest. Many Believers miss the mark because of their inability to operate in the spirit realm with the vision. When we hear, "Wait on the Lord, be strong and of good courage, I say wait on the Lord." (Ps. 27:14) we resort to our physical calamity of sitting still or remaining in a state on inactivity.

On the contrary, to "wait" on the Lord correlates to "serving" the Lord! A waiter is a servant. Imagine that you are in a restaurant and the Lord came in to get something to eat. Would you just sit there and not take His order or would you blow Him away with legendary customer service? 

A vision from God is extremely labor intensive. There is no getting around the adversity paradigm. You will SUFFER for His namesake! Fulfilling your vision will require a lot of hard work. You must be diligent and consistent in your efforts to serve God in the marketplace. Likewise, PATIENCE is simply FAITH. Patience is also PEACE in the midst of ADVERSITY. Patience is a GIFT for God.

To be sure, the inspiration (to endure) comes along with the vision. This inspiration contains God's DNA for true endurance and perseverance during trials. (Heb. 11:27) (Philip 3:12) (Ps. 116:12-13)  The visionary "sees the invisible with his "ears" in the FAITH REALM (Rom. 10:17) because "...faith comes by hearing." The vision that was given to the Believer, although invisible in the "natural realm" is fully visible in the "spirit realm." First the spirit and then the natural.

"Lazarus was DEAD, but he got up from the grave when the Lord called Him by name!" This is proof that the ability to "hear and wait" on the Lord is Spiritual and not Physical! Selah
