Obedience Before Occupation | Season 2026 Episode 10

Have you ever noticed how uncomfortable the waiting season can be?Think about the time between submitting your college application and receiving the acceptance letter… The moment after a job interview before the phone call saying you got the job… Or the days between opening escrow and finally receiving the keys to your new home.Those moments are filled with anticipation, uncertainty, and tension.But the Bible reminds us that waiting is not a problem to be solved—it’s a tension to be managed.Join Bishop Dr. Tony Dunn for this week's message “Obedience Before Occupation,” where we explore how God often requires obedience before we fully step into the promises He has prepared for us. Drawing from Romans 15:4 and Deuteronomy 4, we examine the importance of remaining faithful to God’s Word during the waiting season.The Israelites were given clear instructions before entering the Promised Land. Their story reminds us that the greatest danger isn’t the wait—it’s falling away while waiting.In this teaching we discuss:Why it’s important to train your heart and mind to receive God’s WordHow our thoughts can talk us out of the very promises God has for usWhy people sometimes forget God after receiving their breakthroughThe danger of passing down blessings to the next generation without passing down the knowledge of GodGod calls us not just to reach the destination, but to remain obedient along the journey.Romans 15:4 NLTDeuteronomy 4:1–9 NLTNumbers 25:1–2 NLTDeuteronomy 30:19 NLT📖 Scriptures referenced:If you are in a season of waiting, this message will encourage you to stay faithful, guard your mind, and remain obedient until God brings you into what He has promised.
