TEST AND TRIALS

It is so important that we believe what we share with others when it comes to using our gift of encouragement. I believe God has given me the gift of encouragement and i have used that gift in the early morning hours and the midnight hours when it comes to me acquaintances and friends who need to be reminded how GOD wants us to go thru certain storms....BUT what happens when the storm blows in to our own lives.....the very storm that we have prayed for our friends to stand up in and walk thru ? IT IS THEN....that our real faith in the Lord's Word shows itself. It is at this point in our lives that we have to 'encourage ourselves'. We have to remember that God allows because he wants to see if we are really going to do things the way he has told us in the manner he has told us...In these storms we fall and scrape our knees but we can not let the storm beat us down...we have to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS !! It is not easy but with prayers from friends, the WORD OF GOD and putting God in rememberance of his WORD of how he will hide us as we go thru....that his GRACE is su fficient and to do those things that are pleasing in his sight we can make it day by day,week by week, month by month, year by year...of course this means we stay focus on GOD each second and minute. It is not easy to go thru a storm but Keep pushing forth thru it he IS moving you out..having a friend that can intercede for you is a P OWERHOUSE backup also. Though test and trials come our GOD is greater. I believe he will heal, renew and restore q uickly or gradually we just have to call on him to help us go thru the way he wants us thru until he manifests this change and restoration. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
