<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m still praising God through my valley experiences. I\u2019ve had to get down on my knees in prayer and ask God to help me and I\u2019ve had to ask for strength like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see when you are in the thick of things words just cannot describe how you feel and when you share with people they often assume you are losing hope or you not standing on your faith. Well today I stand firmly on my faith and I spread the word of endurance and courage to all who are reading today\u2019s message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scripture tells us that sometimes God allows us to go through certain things to get our attention. He allows us to go through things and be at a point of hopeless to get our attention. I had to tell the Lord I SURRENDER ALL! MY HOUSE, MY CAR, MY HUSBAND, MY KIDS, MY MOM, MY FINANCES, MY BROTHER, MY MIND….LORD I SURRENDER ALL!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I admitted a year or so ago I had trouble with wanting to be in control. Like my daddy would say, \u201cHe put me on my butt,\u201d and let me know I\u2019m not in control of nothing. He showed me time after time after time that Whitnee\u2019 don\u2019t control not a thing. And I thank the Lord right now for showing me He is and always was and always will be in control. He is the head of my life. He is my beginning and my end. He is my comforter and my strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my weakest moments when I felt like throwing in the towel and saying the heck with the new home, the heck with the car, the heck with \u201cthem kids\u201d and honestly I was at the point of saying the heck with family- the Lord allowed me to get to the place I am but He didn\u2019t let me stay there. No you see even though I had moments where I felt hopeless I was always glad in Him because HE IS MY HOPE, HE IS MY STRENGTH, and He IS MY ROCK! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes we have to go through things and God never said it would be easy BUT HE said in His word that He would never leave us nor forsake us. I bless the name of the Lord right now for never leaving me. I bless His Holy name for never giving up on me- even when I wanted to give up on myself He never did. I thank God right now for wrapping His loving arms around me and for knowing me by name. I bless the name of Jesus for being my salvation. I praise Him right now for giving me strength to endure another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Folks if you don\u2019t get nothing else out of today\u2019s message remember that we serve a sovereign Lord. We serve an omnipotent father. We serve a God of all mercy and of all comfort. You see I don\u2019t want you to feel sorry for me for what I\u2019m going through because like Paul I am rejoicing IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. I\u2019m rejoicing right now because just like He delivered Paul from his mess He can do the same for you and I if it is in His will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t judge me and think I\u2019m depressed, overburdened, or have lost my faith because YOU DON\u2019T KNOW MY STORY BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW MY PRAISE. This message is to encourage the one who too might be near or at the end of their rope. You might have been going toe to toe with the enemy and you told that sucker to put em up and He hit below the belt. You tell that joker that NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU WILL PROSPER! You tell that sucker that he might of got a jab or two in but THIS IS HIS FINAL ROUND BECAUSE GOD\u2019S GOT THIS! Your breakthrough is on its way! Be encouraged and stay prayed up my brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
For as the suffering of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
Now if we are afflicted, it is for our consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakes of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
2 Corinthians 1:3-7 NKJV <\/pre>\n\n\n\nIn closing, I want you to know whatever trials and tribulations we face we must be comforted knowing we are not alone. We must be encouraged knowing God makes no mistakes and that nothing is impossible with God. Whatever we need we must take it to the Lord in prayer. Let\u2019s stop asking God to remove the burden or the trial but to help us endure. Let us trust God in the midst of the pain, the doubt, the fear, the discomfort, or whatever else you may be feeling right now. God is in control. He will fight for us but first we must fight on our knees. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
