I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of living. Psalms 27:13
What are you believing God to see? Get a picture of it in your mind. Now, with tenacious faith, take hold of it.
That which I thought would be instrumental in destroying me was only a tool used to make me into what God has destined me to be. Many times, if it were left up to us, we would have decided to throw in the towel or to take our last breath. However, I hear the voice of the Lord telling us to persevere, to suffer through. For when you get through this eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. (1Cor. 2:9) Are you loving God right now? If you are, then you're on the verge of a spiritual breakthrough.
Many in the body of Christ are faced with what seems to be, what looks like, insurmountable odds. One trial after another, one temptation after another. Just as soon as one obstacle is removed, then here comes another one. Some are blaming the devil, many are blaming themselves, others are asking God why? What have I done wrong?
Although God may not be the force behind your struggle. He is allowing it to take place. Listen, it is a known fact that even though God commissioned the church to go into all the world and preach the gospel, they didn't leave Jerusalem until persecution rose against them. (Acts 8:1)
If a little pressure can get out of you a little of what God has placed in you, then a lot of pressure applied in just the right place will force you and in some cases throw you into God's destiny for your life.
Every struggle up to this point has been for testing or for preparation. But this struggle is different, this struggle is harder, because this struggle is for my purpose. It doesn't matter what you or I may be facing. We must be determined to make it through.
It's for His Glory!!!
