VICTORY THROUGH ADVERSITY!

Greetings,
I'm sorry for the absence but I was going through a physical battle. I am glad to say that I MADE IT! I've come to realize so much more that anytime your doing warfare you will be tested by the enemy to try your faith, confessions and declarations. It's so much to say you believe but is it in your heart? Though my body went through some major pain, the relentless spirit God gave me became greater. I can't let go! I have endured so many things in my life, things that would have likely taken me out if it had not been for the hands of God on my life. WORSHIP! Worship helps me to get through. Worshipping through my heartache and pain gives me the ability to overcome through my storms and my tests. I CAN SAY I MADE IT!
There's a song by Marvin Sapp entitled "Never would have made it"! I absolutely LOVE the song. That's one of my theme songs. I never would have nor could have made it without God. I would have lost my mind without Him but Now I see how God is there for me. Now I'm stronger, I'm wiser and now I'm better because He was there to carry me through my mess. I made it! He was right there to see me through.
When I look back on ALL He has brought me through, I realize I made it because I had Him to hold on to! Oh God thank you! When the storms of life try to take over it's easy to want to throw in the towel and give up and I see everyday that people can't begin to understand where your cry is coming from. You try to explain but they can't comprehend especially if they haven't experienced your hurt. It's like talking to a wall. When I went into prayer yesterday I wept before God and cried out "God I am thirsty for you, I need thee"! God fill my empty cup and let it over flow. I wanted to talk to God until he filled me because I knew if no-one else understood he did. While I was wailing I started singing these words, Go into your secret place and find your place of worship and though your in the valley, victory comes through adversity.
God's overwhelming comfort consumed me and I heard him tell me Get back into the Garden my Lord said, get back into your secret place with me where your tears are understood and your pain is erased. Come worship at my feet and never stray away. Come and go into my Holy place as you seek my face. In the presence and arms of the Lord is the safest place for me to be. It's like none other! It's so good to know that with Him I MADE IT!
God Bless!
From my heart to yours, I love you tremendously.
YOU SHALL MAKE IT!
