A beautiful and encouraging word from the Lord from January of 2009….
“Don’t be surprised when warfare surrounds the promises I have given to you. Contending will always be necessary to obtain anything of significance. But it is not a contending of striving, but of the uttermost peace. It is an exercise of the muscles necessary to steward that thing when it comes.
Do not be afraid of the opposition. Just know that I always keep My promises Fear and unbelief are the only hindrances.
So just stay close to Me. Nestle under My wings. Walk in perseverance toward that thing which was promised, seeing with eyes of faith, the expected end.”
