A word from the Lord:
The valley of decision must be left for the bones to rise and take on flesh.
There is a fight over the bride. Resistance being overcome through persistence. A resolution bringing the solution.
Battered and bruised she might feel, even confused and overwhelmed. But choosing to behold her Groom, the One who has already overcome, will cause her faith to be energised through His love.
Single-mindedly counting the cost is the path to experiencing the over and above. Not our will but His being done, for all is already His. All for Him and His Kingdom come.
“For he says, ‘In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.’ Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love; by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise.
We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.”
2 Corinthians 6:2-10 (ESV)
