Is It Worth the Wait? (w/ Stephanie Ike, Sarah Jakes Roberts & Essence Atkins)

Waiting is apart of our everyday lives, every desire we have is attached to a wait. On this Same Room Special Episode, Sarah Jakes Roberts and Essence Atkins join Stephanie Ike to discuss how we live between the gap of our desire and whether or not it’s fulfilled. Sarah Jakes Roberts is the founder of Woman Evolve, a movement designed to empower women to shatter the glass ceilings that once limited their ability to dream, grow, and change the world. Essence Atkins, is an actress we all know and love. From the Cosby Show, to Smart Guy, and Half and Half, she has continuously graced our screens teaching us the beautiful complexities that come out of family life, all the while off screen, being a woman who leads a life putting God first.
In this episode they will discuss how their seasons of waiting proved to be the place that held the keys to unlock their purpose.

I’m a student and I’ve been praying to God for scholarships for about a year. I’m still waiting and lately it’s been very discouraging and just confusing, especially in the midst of this pandemic where I really need help because my parents won’t be able to help with my tuition. Every time I think that that I’m qualified for something, it seems that someone else receives it. I was scrolling through Instagram and I found a post for this podcast. This is what I need🙌🏾

[@melissajackson7576]

Hey, know that God is faithful. Everything is in His timing because when you are bless with your scholarship..you will know that it was all God and give Him all the glory. Cast your cares upon Him for he cares for you....1 Perter 5:7

[@naturallygifted2002]

Jemima Janvier, God is definitely using you unceasing prayer to draw you closer to him. And you’re not qualify because God has the greatest and best qualification for you. So take courage that show ears are not deaf and He’s has the best for you. So I encourage you to keep praying and reminding faithful. Because He’s true to His word. Also inquire of Him as to what vocation He’ll have you to take as well. God bless.

[@ebonysharee]

Oh sis I've been where you are but the waiting is NOT in vain. I didn't have money for school the first year of school. I had saved up right after highschool half my income from my summer job and had gotten small scholarships from applications i applied to but not enough to cover a full year. Couldn't get the parent plus loan. Ohhhhh but God. One day at my old church the pastor had mentioned someone was in need of financial breakthrough and at first, I was hesitant to go up but then, I went anyway. I was the only one and he prayed over me. Not long After that my cousin let me know that a colleague of his was looking to sponsor another college student Girl He took care of tuition groceries books And place to stay. I am not in deep debt because of that blessing. God was faithful and the back pay of my balance on student loans was paid! All the scholarships I was applying for wasn't coming through my school but God had a ram in the bush. He is faithful, be encouraged.

Ive been so bitter and so hurt and yet so lonely for him. So much has happened. I NEVER thought about this as a period of waiting and assessment and preparation for better in losing all that I lost. PRAISE BE TO GOD! look at Him work. I see that I need to just be thankful for what he has delivered me from. And what He is going to deliver me into. Thank you ladies. Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability, and for your obedience to God. You inspire and encourage me. I so needed that. My soul needed that.

Right I cried! Lol this was indeed powerful and for me. I don't have an issue with waiting but my issue is walking in my office/calling of Prophecy. I was bold before but it feels as if I have been stripped. But I feel my help coming on by continuously watching stuff like this that will continue to uplift and empower me so that I may and will arose to the occasion. There is a lost and dieing world out here that needs to hear my voice and what God will have me to say to His people. Pray for me if you believe in Christ Jesus. We all have to bear our cross. And I'm praying for you all as well.

I am humbled by this word and by the word I received from Dr. Dharius Daniel's today. When God shows up he pours his loving word on me guiding me into truth and helping me release the weight back onto him.

Sarah, since i got to Europe, her message came in right after Pas Sarah's, then after I saw this program and decided to click just to know her better, decided i didn't know it will hit me so hard. I cried somewhere through the show, then i realized it wasn't a mistake to be her. I love all three of this women and i love the more that God talks to us in mysterious ways, i was trying to study for my exams in a few week, the weight for my master course for this semester had been so heavy , that i stopped working on all my assignment for a word from Pas.Sarah, and i must confess am so blessed.

We need more conversations like this in the world! So thankful God was speaking through these ladies and their life experiences so that they can minister to viewers everywhere. My friend and I have been talking recently about how the Israelites wandered for 40 years through the wilderness, and because of their own disbelief and grumbling that held them back from the promised land, they missed out on God REVEALING himself in the wilderness. Sometimes I wish there were more "successful" things going on in my life, or even when I wish I was automatically in a deeper place with the Lord, and within myself, I need to slow down and thank Him for continuing to strengthen and grow me in this season... as he reveals himself (as I asked) just not in a way I would have expected.

[@Daizetta]

I have no idea who put a thumbs down on this meeting of wonderful women of God or even why they would do such a thing. This is by far one of the best conversations I’ve ever seen and hear on social media/tv. They are being authentic, transparent and most of all talking about God and being so encouraging.

God is so for me, He will protect me from myself. Amen thank you Lord Jesus. Essence In that one sentence you answered why God positions us to be in the waiting . Jesus knows us better than we know ourselves. Jesus knows our hearts. No one on this God given earth knows you better than Jesus and whatever He has for you, ... that fruition is Good because Jesus loves you. 💖

We need more of these " Topic"... Thank You Lord for using them as a Willing Vessel!!!

[@annvaughn8974]

It's really ironic that your topic is waiting, in 2016 I had a non aschemetic stroke, I can walk, can talk. My left side is still frozen a bit especially my left hand its in a Clawed position its what I call it. I cannot drive because of that, I do believe God was telling me to slow down child, you're going going going too much. I had my stroke I didnt question I didn't get angry, I didnt blame anyone but Me. I knew immediately when lying waiting for a CAT scan to be done I need to be wait on him to help me get through the day without everyone else's help. Great job ladies first time watching new subscriber.

[@annvaughn8974]

I had a clot in my right side of brain, the neurologist told me what he needed to do I was fine no worries I had prayers all around me I awaken from anaesthesia in two days was sitting up in two days shocked all the med. Personnel but not my family or myself our faith in God keeps us in a strong position to persevere sorry for long narratives. Stay safe and blessed

[@Mulingii]

May God fully restore you the way He did to me had a stroke 2019,im fully recovered now glory to God may He do the same for you in Jesus mighty Name
