Stand and Wait
Stand and Wait
In this message, we look at Acts chapter 1 and the command given by Jesus for His disciples to wait on the promise of the Father. In a world that constantly pushes us to move faster, decide quicker, and act without delay, God’s Word reminds us that there are times when we must simply stand still and wait on Him.
Too often, we rush ahead of God without seeking Him in prayer, without listening for His direction, and without trusting His timing. But Scripture teaches us to stand in His way, seek His will, and walk in it. True peace and rest come when we are willing to wait on the Lord and accept His answer — whether it is yes, no, or wait.
This message also reminds us to reflect on the “infallible proofs” of what God has already done in our lives. When we remember His faithfulness, it strengthens our belief and helps us trust Him in the present. Even when we do not understand the season we are in, we are not called to stand and wonder, but to stand and witness.
The disciples did not stop when Jesus left their sight — they continued in one accord, in prayer, and in obedience. In the same way, we are called to remain faithful, stay focused, and trust God until His promises are fulfilled.
This message is preached by Blake Faircloth, host of Frontline Faith, a Bible-believing and Bible-preaching podcast standing firmly on the 1611 King James Bible and centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel – Romans Road to Salvation (KJV)
The Bible clearly explains how a person can be saved:
Romans 3:23
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 5:8
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 10:9–10
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Romans 10:13
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
