My children, prepare for
adversity, for the enemy has set in motion a plan to launch much adversity at
My people.
At times, I allow adversity
as part of your training, as I can see what is coming in your future. Only I
know what you need to be trained in. I am helping you to conform to My image as
you submit to Me and My Word in these situations.
Strive to be like Me, to
walk in My ways, to obey My Word. I have so much for you to learn and do and
see in the time you have left, but you must obey Me in order to receive all I
have for you.
James 1:2-4
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into
divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith
worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye
may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Romans 5:3-6
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations
also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love
of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due
time Christ died for the ungodly.
Psalm 25:1-2
25 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be
ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure
through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the
flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above
measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that
it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for
thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I
rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:
for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Philippians 3:10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the
fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Romans 8:29
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to
the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
