Hardships


Think not every hardship is come to try you, My children. Lessons are hidden in the trials of My people, as you see in My holy Word.

You must be prepared for what is coming, and many of you shall experience hardships then I am preparing you for now. Your greatest preparation is always My Word, however. Hardships often cause you to seek in My Word when you would not otherwise, and your faith increases as you see My promises fulfilled in your life. In this way are you prepared for the more difficult times ahead.

Seek Me in My Word.

NOTE: Though hardships and trials are both conditions of suffering, the reason for the condition is different. A trial is specifically to “try” or prove something, like in a court – generally your faith. Hardship – enduring grievous circumstances and suffering in them, produces toughness to those same types of circumstances in the future.


1 Peter 5:10  But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

James 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Romans 12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;


John 16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.




My children are far too concerned with the timing of My Son’s return. I desire you would be about My business, not concerning yourself with other matters.

There are many lost souls who know nothing of the salvation I offer them, and I desire you would use every available means to tell them. (I sensed very strongly that those words, every available means, is a word or confirmation to someone who has been inquiring of Him)

It is not My will that any should perish, and I have asked My people to accept this work for Me. Will you go? Will you spread My gospel to those who do not know Me?

(I felt Go here did not mean everyone needs to go overseas to minister unless He has specifically lead you to do that, but that each of us are to start reaching out in our immediate areas with His love and His truth, and spreading the gospel. What would you do if you knew that a great judgment was about to fall where you live and thousands of lost souls would be taken into eternity? Do that.)

2 Peter 3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Mark 16:15-16
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world an...

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked su...
