No matter what you may  be going through right now, know that you are not in it alone. You may  feel tired of \u2018Going Through\u2019.\u00a0 You may be wondering just what next to  do and what next to pray. Be encouraged today. God will fight your  battle for you.<\/p>\n<p>The enemy is raging war against the body of Christ but He is already  defeated. He may be doing all he can to convince you that God is not  coming through for you. Maybe he is making it appear as if God is not  hearing your prayers, much less answering them but the devil is a liar.  God is for you. He is with you and He knows exactly what you are  experiencing at this time. He has not left you and He will not leave you  now.<\/p>\n<p>Now more than ever, be determined that come what may, you will serve  the Lord. You see, your destiny in Jesus Christ is sure as long as you  continue to trust God and you do not faint. God has great things in  store for your life. He has already told you about many of the things  that He has in store for you. He has shown them to you in dreams and  visions. He has spoken them to you through prophetic words and by His  still small voice. God is able to bring to pass the vision that He has  placed within you to further His Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Beloved, do not become discouraged by the war that is raging around  you. Call on the Lord who is mighty to deliver you. Do not bend and do  not bow to the pressures or the attacks. The power of God is greater and  greater is Jesus Christ who is in you.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it may seem like it is a long time coming but know that God will  manifest mighty blessings in your life. Keep focused and keep fervent  in prayer as you serve the Lord. Do not grow weary in well doing.  Increase your time of praise and worship, fasting and prayer.\u00a0 Give  thanks unto God.<\/p>\n<p>Beloved, God is more than able to do all that He has promised you.  Maybe, things did not quite work out the way that you thought that they  would in some areas but God is not dead. He is very much alive. His ways  are higher than your ways. You must believe that even what seems to be  bad is working together for good because you love God and you are called  by the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of your struggles, encourage others in the Lord. Do not  become consumed with what is coming against you. For there are many  hurting, many lonely, many lost and many discouraged who are waiting on  you to share a word of hope with them.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the Battle on Mount Carmel and know that the God who  answered by fire is your God. In the midst of your fire He is sure to  answer with His fire which gives power and destroyed the works of the  enemy.<\/p>\n<p>Beloved be confident today that the weapons that has formed will not  prosper. God is faithful. You are a child of destiny and it is the will  of God that you be in health and prosper. Victory is yours.<\/p>\n<p>Keep praying and have a blessed weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ye shall not need to fight in this battle : set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":21148,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alive-word"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
