David Wilkerson emphasizes the importance of standing still and waiting for God's direction, as illustrated in Isaiah 30:21. He explains that God's voice often comes through Scripture, and before receiving guidance, we must cease our striving and trust in His timing. The sermon references the Israelites at the Jordan River, where God commanded them to stand still and wait for Him to part the waters, highlighting that obedience and faith are crucial for experiencing God's deliverance. Wilkerson encourages believers to resist the urge to act on their own and to trust in God's promises.

Charles E. Cowman preaches about the importance of waiting for God and the balance between waiting for His timing and taking action in faith. He emphasizes that God often waits for us to step forward in obedience before He blesses us. Just as Abraham had to leave everything behind to receive God's promises, we too must take steps of faith to see His blessings manifest in our lives. The sermon highlights the significance of beginning to obey in order for God to begin to bless us, using examples like the ten lepers who were cleansed as they went to show themselves to the priest.
