There’s a battle taking place on the inside in each one of us, it’s a battle between the flesh and the spirit. Being disciplined in the spirit and taking the flesh out of the throne will prepare us to receive the bigger blessings that God has in store for us.
The trouble is not there to stop you, it’s there to propel you. God wouldn’t have allowed the storm if you weren’t going to make to the other side. You haven’t seen, heard or imagined what God has in store for you.
No person can stop the blessing, the purpose, the destiny that God has laid out for you. You’re going to be an example of God’s goodness so other people can see the hand of God on your life. You don’t have to go somewhere else to have the blessing; the blessing is on you.
The squeezing, the pressing—that’s not how your story ends. Real victory is not won in public; it’s won in private. On the other side of suffering is the power of resurrection. The enemy doesn’t have the final say; God does.
