BLESSED BY OVERCOMING ADVERSITY

My Dear Precious Child, Some of My children skip over the warnings of Jesus Christ before He left the earth to come and sit down with Me in the heavens when He told His disciples, including you, that in the world you will have tribulations, but to rejoice that He had overcome every kind of tribulation and adversity. He said that so can you overcome with the power of My Holy Spirit that He was going to send to live inside of you. (John 16:33; Acts 1:5 and 8) It was in that brilliant and encouraging lecture to Jesus' disciples that He was outlining the coming into the world of the same Spirit of Power that He had possessed in His own body, the One Who overcame the world. He told His followers that they were also going to enjoy My power in their own lives, the same power that He possessed. The disciples would not need to possess the Power of the Holy Spirit if there was not going to be adversity and tribulation in their lives when Jesus left them. The prophet Solomon wrote that if you faint in the day of adversity, then your strength is small. (Proverbs 24:10) Adversity is the same as tribulation. But Jesus Christ said that you should rejoice when tribulation and adversity come into your life because you can overcome it with My joy! The prophet David spoke that I live and that I redeemed his soul out of adversity. (Psalm 10:6) He also wrote that I give men rest trom the day of adversity and dig a pit for the wicked. (Psalm 94:13) David was well versed in adversity because of His love for Me. The devil did not like David's extreme devotion to Me so he sent temptations as well as adverse situations as a result of David's yielding to those temptations from the devil into David's life. To demonstrate this truth to you, during a bad wind storm you observed the branches of trees blow violently back and forth as if they were going to break at any moment. The winds created the current mildly adverse conditions for the trees. Yet, those adverse conditions actually worked for the good of the trees because the mildly violent actions actually caused the limbs on the trees to become stronger and stronger against those mildly adverse winds, although to the casual observer there was no outward evidence of any inner strengthening occurring. In later similar conditions when even more damaging, violent and destructive winds come, the limbs on those trees will be stronger against even more adverse and damaging conditions that come against them in order to destroy them because of the formerly mildly adverse conditions of strong winds which strengthened the limbs so that they were eventually so strong internally that they do not break during more damaging, dangerous winds. The same wisdom is true about My children when you are facing adversity and tribulation brought into your life by the devil. I told all of My children to count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations, knowing that the trying of your faith by the devil will actually work for your good because the trying of your faith by his introducing adverse situations in your life will put to work My patience that is inside of you. I said to let My patience of the Holy Spirit have her perfect work inside of you, so that you might be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing. (James 1:2-4 and 12-17) Yes, I said that you will eventually want nothing because you will, with My patience, become so strengthened in the inner man with each trial from the devil that when the devil floods you with an enormously huge, very dangerous adversity you will be divinely patient and such a strong person of faith that you will not break under the stress of the adverse tribulation that the devil brings against you because you were already prepared and strengthened by mildly adverse situations which built a stong inner person inside of you that refused to be destroyed by a life destroying situation sent from hell. You will, indeed, rejoice not because of the dangerous adversity brought by the devil, but you will rejoice because My patience inside of you has been tried and has prevailed so many times in the past that you are not moved by the effects of some life threatening tribulation. Instead of breaking under the stress, you rejoice that My Holy Spirit inside of you is mighty in battle and He will persevere in you until you want nothing because you have allowed Me to provide all that you need, want and desire after being tried many times by the devil's tribulations that I have overcome through you. When faced with adversity the prophet Zephaniah proclaimed in verse 3:17 that "The Lord thy God in the midst of you is mighty; He will save you, He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in His love for you and He will joy over you with singing." When adversities come into your life, you must be like the branches of the tree which were blown back and forth in the strong wind, strengthening the branches so that they would not break when a more dangerous wind comes later. I do the strengthening of you during adversity. The devil is the one who sends the strong winds of adversity. You and I can win over all adverse tribulations together. Your Father of Mighty Power Over Adversity and Tribulation
