One of the most comforting and powerful statements in Scripture is the simple phrase: “It came to pass.” In the 2025 message titled “It Came to Pass,” Apostle Joshua Selman delivers a deeply revelatory teaching that brings clarity, hope, and spiritual intelligence to believers navigating seasons of uncertainty, delay, and transition.
This sermon reminds us that no season whether painful or pleasant is permanent. God operates through times and seasons, and His dealings with men are intentional, redemptive, and purposeful. Understanding this truth is key to spiritual stability, emotional health, and unshakable faith.
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.
The Meaning and Power of “It Came to Pass”
The phrase “it came to pass” appears repeatedly throughout the Bible, signaling movement, transition, and fulfillment. Apostle Joshua Selman explains that this phrase is not casual; it is prophetic language that reveals a fundamental Kingdom principle: everything God allows has a lifespan.
- Pain has an expiry date
- Waiting seasons have an end
- Promises have an appointed time
- Judgments pass
- Blessings unfold
When Scripture says “it came to pass,” it is teaching us that time is a servant of divine purpose, not a weapon against believers.
Understanding Seasons in God’s Dealings with Men
One of the major themes of the message is the reality of seasons. Life is not random; it is structured by divine timing.
According to Ecclesiastes 3:1, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” Apostle Selman emphasizes that maturity comes when believers stop fighting seasons and start discerning them.
Some seasons are:
- Preparatory – where God builds character
- Silent – where growth is internal
- Testing – where faith is refined
- Manifestational – where results appear
When a season completes its assignment, it must come to pass.
Why Some Seasons Feel Long
Apostle Joshua Selman explains that delay does not always mean denial. Often, what feels like delay is actually alignment.
God may be:
- Aligning people
- Adjusting motives
- Refining character
- Preparing capacity
If a promise arrives before the believer is ready, it can destroy rather than bless. Therefore, God uses time as a tool of mercy.
The assurance is this: when alignment is complete, it comes to pass.
Faith That Survives Waiting Seasons
A major burden of the message is helping believers maintain faith during prolonged waiting periods. Waiting can challenge:
- Confidence in God
- Emotional stability
- Spiritual consistency
Apostle Selman teaches that true faith is not proven when prayers are answered quickly, but when trust remains intact even when nothing seems to be changing.
Faith says:
What God has said will surely come to pass
God is still faithful
This season will not last forever
When God Ends a Season
Not every ending is negative. Some endings are divine deliverances.
In the message, Apostle Selman highlights that God ends seasons to:
- Stop oppression
- End stagnation
- Close unproductive chapters
- Introduce new dimensions
The danger is when believers cling emotionally to seasons God has finished with. Discernment is required to know when to move forward.
When God says “it came to pass,” He is announcing closure and transition.
Prophetic Fulfillment and Divine Timing
Another core emphasis of the sermon is that prophetic words are time-bound. Every prophecy has:
- A promise
- A process
- A performance
Many believers abort the process and then question the prophecy. Apostle Selman teaches that prophecy requires:
- Faith
- Patience
- Obedience
- Spiritual warfare
When the process is complete, the prophecy comes to pass, not by human effort, but by divine orchestration.
The Danger of Misinterpreting Time
One of the most enlightening moments of the teaching is the warning against misinterpreting seasons. Not every delay is demonic, and not every fast door is divine.
Spiritual maturity is knowing:
When to rest
When to wait
When to act
When to pray
