Pressing On!

I honestly believe you can determine the measure of your destiny by evaluating the level of adversity you have to overcome in order accomplish it.

I had quite an experience this week. While touring a facility with a contractor I became so overwhelmed by an illness I have been battling that I found myself unexpectedly kneeling on the floor, in an unsuccessful attempt to alleviate pain. It made for an awkward moment, to say the least... :)

After reading your blogs, prayer requests and emails, as well as, hearing reports from the church office I realize that I am not the only one facing adversity. One of you even described it to me this way, "Every time I defeat one devil I am immediately facing another attack..."

My encouragement to you is: do not give up! Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Its God's word to each of us. Refuse to give in, up or out. The enemy has no answer for those who endure to the end, because they shall be saved!

Look to the hills of the Lord's glory, for your help is coming. Angels have not only been dispatched on your behalf, they are already encamped around you. 1,000 people may fall to the wayside on your left and 10,000 may fall to your right, but you will stand, because your God is for you! He is with you. He's never left you. And He will never forsake you.
Never cease to remember that even if a weapon is formed against you, in the end it will not prosper.

I'm praying for you. I know you will do the same for me. In faith-filled agreement we will not only weather this storm, but we will ultimately walk on the waters hell sent to drown us!

"For from John until now, the Kingdom is preached and every man presseth into it." (Luke 16:16)
