As we navigate our walk with God, through the sure to come, blind sides of the enemy, and the "much tribulation" we've been assured, awaits for us, as we strive to attain the prize of a place in the eternal Kingdom of Christ, we can expect those trials that come upon ua like meteor showers. We are pretty adept in STATING and CONFESSING that it 'all works together to the good", but how much of that proclamation do we actually believe, receive , and embrace, when the flames of spiritual assault stand taller than we do? It is simple, and reflexive to make such an affirmation, when we're coasting on the down side of our mountains,, but what about when we are genuinley pressed on every side, and about to faint because of the weight of the calamity, or attack? People who are in a burning building are not hardly thinking about how it's going to turn out for their good, and nor is that one, who has the misfortune of having his head stuck in the lion's mouth, and that lion hasn't tasted "meat" in a minute.. Noah was not likey thinking about the great revivals and accelerated power that would come upon him, in due season, and neither was Job after losing the whole "farm", his subtance , havivg his entire family "taken out" and watching his first inheritance just vanish in one fell sweep!. When one is forced to contend with a wroing or an offense, that they know trhey didn't deserve, their pain and confusion won't allow them to see the "60 seconds" ticking away, that separate their "mid-night weeping" from their "joy that comes in the morning"! When a Mother has to identify her 24 yr. old son's body in the morgue, because some heathen with a happy trigger finger, has violently taken his life, she certainly has no "joy bells" ringing in her sanctified soul! In the realm of the flesh, it's asking a bit much to ask her to believe, that such devastation, hides some unknown joy and peace. When a marriage falls apart,suddenly due to infidelity, or even finding out you've married yourself to a "down low" brother, with no forewarning, or expctation, that wife or husband's mind is not on "Wait 'til I get to testimony service, so that I can give God the glory for this paralyzing pain,and dsimay". Find a Pastor who is about to be "voted out" , and lose his pension because his parishoners don't like what he preaches, or how he runs the Church, and who is zealously shouting over his dilemma. Actually, it is more than possible to "count it all joy", through malicious betrayal, disappointment, death, bankruptcy, and tremendous despair! It is doable,to go into a frenzied PRAISE when the enemy has just tried to distract and interrupt your destiny, and bind you up through oppression,depression, and confoundment. When you find yourself betwixt and between the last glory, and the one set before you, as your real ultimate destiny., and there's terror on every side,you must remember that it is still "need be " that offenses come, and "Woe be unto them through whom they come", for "THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR IS STILL HARD!" One can make an "on purpose" choice when they are betwixt annd between, and choose to take a running jump and alllow the same weight of oppression that came to destroy you, and cause you to abort your assignment and make shipwreck, to PROPEL you to the next weight of GLORY, because we do go, indeed, from faith to faith, and from glory to glory, and the Lord never promised that our times of receiving the NEXT WEIGHTof GLORY, would be in times of peace, contentment, fullfullment, and or tranquility. Samson's greatest weight of glory came at his weakest, most vulnerable last moments of his life, because he compromised his anointng to please a woman, and found himself blind and in great bondage.Each time the Prophet, Jeremiah, was imprisoned, mistreated,and persecuted, he came through with another visitation from the Lord, and received GREATER, and more profound oracles and revelations. Your trials are designed to be a launching pad and a divine CATYLYST that will be used by God, to thrust you or "fire" you to the next realm of destiny. A "catylyst" is that spark or trigger that sets off a definite predictable series of events, actions, and reactions, and those hard trials and the chaos ,upheaval,and torment you find yourself contending with, can only "be" and "do" what you GIVE THEM PERMISSION to . If you have a number of "dead things" in your life, stack them up, and use them to step UP, OVER, and INTO your next weight of glory! Don't allow any manner of evil, disruption, or tricks of the enemy to become a hinderance, no matter what. See them as those catylysts that will CATAPULT you from the former glory, anointing, and even relationship with God, to greater, deeper, and more profound gloryigs in Him! If you are struggling in any dimension of your life, be it finances, your children, mates, depression, DEMONIC "set ups" and "set backs",stack them up as well, and make a "trampouline" from them, and watch the very iimpetus and momentum, of near disaster, soar you to heights unknown! Christ received His greatest momentum and impetus, not when the "dove of the Father's anointing "came upon Him after baptism , and it wasn't through His three year tenure, working miracles and signs and wonders! In fact, Jesus' greatest CATYLYST was the CROSS, as it translated Him from being in the "form of a man", and suffering like a "man", into the eternal, FAR GREATER WEIGHT OF GLORY, as Savior, and the King of Kings!. In spite of the mayhem you're facing or have faced, dare to believe that whatever power and glory you possessed before your dilemma,is not worthy to be compared to this FAR GREATER WEIGHT OF GLORY that's about to be revealed in, upon, and through you! SLAP THE DEVIL A SANCTIFIED "HIGH FIVE", because this next WEIGHT OF GLORY, that he was the 'TRIGGER" for, is about to make you SHINE, SHINE, SHINE!
