Time of Increased Pressures

    My children, pressures on you will increase daily in this time. Many attacks will come against you – through family, through ‘friends,’ against your health, your finances, your peace of mind. The enemy is sending every fiery dart he can at you to persuade you to deny Me. Behold Me in your hearts daily and I will keep you in peace. He cannot take what is in your heart unless you allow him to.

   In this time of increased pressures, the temptation to return to old sinful comforts will be great. You must be strong against temptation. The enemy seeks a crack in your armor and sin gives him one. Strongholds built in this time will be much more difficult to tear down.

   Be found in My Word. Resist sin every hour and bring your cares to Me, for I will help you carry your burdens.

1 Peter 4:12 KJV

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Romans 5:3 KJV

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Romans 5:4 KJV

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

Romans 5:5 KJV

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.

James 1:12 KJV

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

2 Corinthians 4:16 KJV

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:17 KJV

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

2 Corinthians 4:18 KJV

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
