Within the past few months, I have seen so many Christian’s who are going through intense spiritual warfare. The warfare has been relentless as the enemy continues to discourage people and throw them off course from what they have been called to do, and who they have been created to be. For those of you who are going through difficult trials, I want you to know that those things that you are battling will soon become your history. No matter what the situation is, stay strong in the face of adversity and don’t become weary in well doing. Jesus will not fail you no matter how things appear to be in the natural.

The Lord says:

“I understand your distress and I know your burdens, but do not fall prey to the deception of the enemy. Resist discouragement even though situations may seem overwhelming.

Don’t be moved by adverse circumstances but keep your eyes on things above.

Don’t allow calamities to overwhelm you but take control of your thoughts and use this time as an opportunity to strengthen yourself.

Don’t be mastered by fear, and refuse to give in to anxiety when confronted with stressful situations.

As the fiery darts seem to come in ambush, do not be dismayed. I will teach you how to quench those fiery darts and extinguish the flames of the evil one with the armor that I have provided for you.

Have I not said in My Word that there are many afflictions of the righteous but I will deliver you out of them all? Have I not said in My Word that no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper?

Just as I was in the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego I AM also with you in the fire of affliction. Do not bow to the opposition, do not break or bend under the pressure. My glory will increase in your life as you learn to quench every fiery dart that the enemy fires against at you.

You will overcome as your refuse to succumb to his lies. Don’t allow oppression to overwhelm you, but put on a garment of praise when a spirit of heaviness tries to overshadow you. As you continue to resist the enemy, you will come out as gold tried in the fire and your character and integrity will be evident to many.

The battles may be fierce, but as you endure hardness as a good soldier, your faith will grow and you will be more effective in what I have called you to do. Just as grapes are crushed in the wine press through a process, you will bring forth much fruit in your life as you endure, stay strong and steadfast.

I will show you how to adjust in difficult times because I have created you to be more than a conqueror and to rise above difficult situations,”

says the Lord.

“Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle,” Psalms 144:1.

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you,” Isaiah 43:1-2.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand,” Ephesians 6:10-13.
