I would like you to consider three groups of people; the group that is on their way into the battle; those who are in the heat of the battle; and the ones who are on their way back. When Israel went to battle and won they came out with the silver, gold and expensive articles. What are you saying Jacqui? When the Lord “allows” us to go into battle, “Pandemic,”it is His will that we come out with more than we went in with. Get ready to come out with the silver and the gold. Not these precious metals but with a deeper relationship with the Lord and others, a greater faith, power, anointing, freedom and love. This will become our “new normal.”!!!

There are times in our lives when the Lord will immediately calm our storms but at other times He will allow the storms to rage and calm us. Matt 8 and Matt 14 teaches us this truth. What I’m saying is that His Love will either bring us OUT or THROUGH!!!

My thoughts are focused upon those who are discouraged during these very challenging times. The word of God tells us that David encouraged himself in the Lord. It seems so much easier to encourage others during their difficult times but we struggle inwardly when we are going through. I believe these are the times when we need to tell ourselves the Truth about the Lord and use scripture to describe Him. “You are my refuge, my fortress, my God, in whom I Trust.” We can either speak the Word or sing it and He will flood our souls with His Peace!!!
