If there are people out there that are about to give up… God has this word for you today!  I heard it in my Spirit…..

I was on my way out and still am but He said “Tell them this before you go Jo.. Tell them that this issue is working for them!  It is not permanent and the sorrow will turn to joy shortly..”  

I feel someone grieving but the Lord is going to add to you double for this trouble when it is over..  Forgive all of the naysayers and God will give you back double what you feel you have lost in ministry, time, and in material things, but most of all the people that have walked away!!

He is re-aligning your relationships and placing you with Kingdom connections..  He has seen the hurt and His heart is grieved..  But He says pray for your enemies and do not desire vengeance, for vengeance belongs to Him..  Quit rehearsing the episode in your mind and go forward! He said to give you these scriptures…  Don’t give up, breakthrough is here!!

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal”   2 Corinthians 4:17-18.
