He’s In The Waiting | Counter-Cultural Courage | Pastor David Payne

Scripture Focus: Daniel 10, Psalm 3:3, Isaiah 40:31

Have you ever prayed for something — fervently, faithfully — and yet felt like Heaven stayed silent? Maybe you waited, hoped, even wept… and still, no answer came. Or so it seemed.

In this powerful and heartfelt message from Pastor David, we dive into Daniel 10. Here, we journey with an aging Daniel — somewhere between 85 and 90 years old — as he fasts, mourns, and seeks clarity from God. Through his story, we’re reminded that waiting is not wasted time. There is spiritual activity in the unseen realm, even when we feel stalled in the seen one.

So many of us can struggle with waiting because, let’s be honest: we don’t like being out of control. We want answers, timelines, results. But what if the real transformation is meant to happen in us while we wait? And what if God’s apparent silence is actually a sign of deep spiritual movement on our behalf?

This message dives into:

– Why Daniel’s consistent habits in his youth set the foundation for his faith in old age

– The difference between knowing about God and experiencing God

– Why God’s message to you might be just for you—and not for everyone else around you

– The reassurance that God hears your prayers the moment you speak them, even if the answer takes time

– How our strength is renewed not by striving, but by God’s gentle, restoring touch

Whether you’re waiting for healing, praying for a loved one, or simply feeling worn out in the silence—this message will speak to your soul. You’ll leave reminded that you are precious to God, and He is at work in the unseen, fighting battles on your behalf.
