    For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won't delay. Habakkuk 2:3 WEB.About thirty-five years ago, the Lord gave me a word that I would pioneer new things in ministry and fo...

    The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king. In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchante...

    If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

Backlash

  • The multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods. When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely, who, having received such a charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks. But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were loosened. Acts 16:22'26 WEB.

    A girl with a spirit of divination followed Paul and Silas around the city of Philippi for many days. She discerned that they were God's messengers, and she told the people about them, but her words came from an evil source. Paul became "greatly annoyed" and commanded the evil spirit to leave her. It did, and that is when the fight started.

    Paul and Silas were beaten by the mob and dragged through the streets. Then they had their clothes torn off and were struck with rods. After this, they were thrown into a cold dark prison, and their feet locked in stocks. They had confronted the kingdom of darkness and faced a counterattack from the enemy. He worked through his people just as God works through His.

    Paul and Silas were in a tight spot. If there was ever a reason to complain, they had one. They had done nothing wrong, but this was a spiritual war. Instead of complaining, they prayed and sang hymns to God, and soon their captivity was changed. In fact, they led some of the people in the jail to the Lord. Then the magistrates came and apologized to them. It was a victory. They faced adversity with the right attitude, they overcame, and they led people to Jesus.

    When the going gets tough, it is easy to throw up your hands and say, "I have had enough! Why serve God any longer? It brings me nothing but more trouble." Yet this is not a time for wandering away. It is a time of drawing closer. We are in a battle, and God is our refuge in our time of trouble. We should pray more, not less. When the going gets tough, the tough start praying and singing praises to God.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, please teach me Your truth and help me to see what You see. Help me find my place in the body. Put me where I will make the most impact for You. Here I am, Lord, use me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
