What are we waiting for?

I've heard the phrase "Wait on the Lord" countless times before, but I'm beginning to question what exactly we're waiting for. I mean, the Lord is already here! He is alive and well. His body is in Heaven with the Father, but His Spirit dwells within us. Have we forgotten? I imagine us praying and talking about waiting on God - all the while He's pounding on the doors and windows of our hearts saying, "Here I am, I'm right here - let me out!" With the Holy Spirit living inside of us, we have power. He desires for us to use this power to draw others to Him, that's why He gave it to us. So why do we keep it locked away, hidden in the depths of our hearts. It's a free gift that we walk around bragging about having, yet we've never actually opened it up and used it for its designated purpose. It is the healing power of the body and spirit that we've been praying for - We're praying for something we already have! So many times we blame God. We pray for things and question why our prayers are never answered. It's because we're praying prayers that God already answered 2000 years ago when Jesus Christ arose from the grave. When He ascended to Heaven, He said that the Holy Spirit would be even greater than having His physical body here to walk and talk with. Why? Because the very same power of Jesus Christ - the power that healed the blind and brought the dead back to life - would dwell in our hearts at all times. It's a never ending fountain of water, a constant supply of nourishment, at our fingertips any time of the day or night. We are never without strength or comfort when the Holy Spirit is near. So why do we still worry and fear? Why do we proclaim to be weak when the Holy Spirit dwells within us? Our flesh is weak, yes. But our hearts are strong because of the Holy Spirit of the almighty God.  We should boast in our weaknesses and declare His strength. With His power, we can do all things. We are stronger than our sins. We are stronger than our sicknesses. We are stronger than death. Don't let the Holy Spirit go to waste. Don't live a defeated life. We have won! Live in joy. Live in victory. Let the Holy Spirit flow freely out of you - don't keep Him pushed away in the depths of your heart, hidden from the world. He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we could ever think, ask, or imagine. Let Him work through you. We are the body of Christ on this earth. We are to be his hands, his feet, and his voice until He comes again. Let us do His will. Let us be transparent vessels of the Holy Spirit - not so that we can be seen, but so that the strength and power of God would be seen and magnified. He alone is worthy. May the world see, hear, and feel his love and mercy, grace and compassion, peace and joy, healing and comfort. May they see and know Him through the things I say and do, and the way I live my life. I want to be an instrument of the Holy Spirit. I want to be a vessel for Him to use and work through. I boast in my weaknesses, because He uses the foolish things to confound the wise. Holy Spirit, I pray that You rain down over our lives. Flood our hearts with your goodness until it overflows into our words and actions. Use us, Lord. We offer ourselves as willing vessels for you to use and work through. Move in our hearts and lives like never before. We need You, the world needs You. My prayer is that they see You through us. Let Your kingdom come. Let Your will be done.
