INTRODUCTION:
In life, many people encounter delays that seem to slow down their progress, whether in their careers, ministries, relationships, or even in personal development. These delays can be incredibly frustrating, especially when it feels as if you are working hard but not seeing the results you expect. However, the Bible tells us that God is able to break the power of delay and accelerate our progress by His supernatural speed. Just as He did for the children of Israel, bringing them out of Egypt and guiding them swiftly through the wilderness, God can break every barrier of delay in your life and cause you to move forward at His divine pace.
Supernatural speed is not just about rushing forward; it is about being propelled by God's power in such a way that what would have taken years is accomplished in a much shorter time. In Isaiah 60:22, God promises that at the right time, He will make things happen, and His timing is always perfect. This message is for those who have been struggling with delay and stagnation—God wants to give you the grace for supernatural speed to break through every barrier that has been holding you back.
The key to breaking delay barriers is understanding the power of divine acceleration and positioning yourself to receive it. Today, we will explore how God’s supernatural speed works, how to activate it in your life, and how you can move from delay to divine acceleration.
1. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF SUPERNATURAL SPEED
Supernatural speed comes from God and is activated by His hand upon your life.

2. THE IMPORTANCE OF ALIGNMENT WITH GOD’S WILL
Alignment with God’s will is crucial for experiencing supernatural speed in your life.

3. FAITH ACTIVATES DIVINE ACCELERATION
Faith is the key to unlocking the supernatural speed of God in your life.
a) Faith Believes in God’s Ability to Speed Up Your Journey
Faith trusts that God can break through any delay and accelerate your progress (Mark 11:24).

God not only breaks the power of delay but also restores what has been lost and accelerates your blessings.
