“Now, before you can have a victory, there has to be a battle. And if there is no battles, there is no victories. So we ought to be thankful for the battles and the tryings, and it’s God giving us the opportunity to have victories. Oh, my! Don’t that make you a little bit better now? See? The battle come along; somebody saying something bad about you; sickness come onto you. Maybe God give you those light afflictions, that He might heal you and show His favor to you, let you see what He means by it, He loves you.”Continue Reading

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
“Now, before you can have a victory, there has to be a battle. And if there is no battles, there is no victories. So we ought to be thankful for the battles and the tryings, and it’s God giving us the opportunity to have victories. Oh, my! Don’t that make you a little bit better now? See? The battle come along; somebody saying something bad about you; sickness come onto you. Maybe God give you those light afflictions, that He might heal you and show His favor to you, let you see what He means by it, He loves you.” WMB
”The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.“
Jeremiah 31:3
Luke 24:49 said, “Behold, I send the promise of the Father upon you, but wait up at the city of Jerusalem until you’re endued with power from on High.” How long? One hour, two hours, ten days, four months, six months? Didn’t make any difference. “Until.” How long is that? Just until. When you ask God for anything, stay right there, until. Amen. Whew! I-l feel good. Stay until. Until what? Till it happens. Claim it. Believe it. Hold onto it. Go in action. Testify about it. Glory! Yes. Testify. Don’t be afraid. Get in action. WMB
”For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.“
2 Timothy 1:7
“And the same way it is with us, it isn’t what we fight, and pull, and–and hurry, and, “Oh, if I don’t get this; if I don’t get that”; that’s not it; it’s to know that the law of Life is in you. And you just let go and let God. Then He takes you to your healing, takes you to the baptism of the Spirit, or anything that He’s promised. Any claim that He’s given is yours, and by letting go and letting God…” WMB
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
Isaiah 1:18
“You’ve got to believe all of It, no matter how humble It seems. Believe It, anyhow. Say, “Well, I don’t understand It.” Believe It, anyhow. You’re not supposed to understand It. You’re supposed to believe It. Just believe It, anyhow.” WMB
”Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.“
Psalm 103:2-5
”Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.“Psalm 103:2-5
Take them in your heart tonight and just start drawing from them. “God, you promised it. Lord…” Tomorrow I don’t care how you feel, what you look like. “Glory, I’m drawing from that promise.” Watch how strength begins to renew, how things begin to straighten out, how arms begin to move up, how eyes begin to brighten up, how hearts begin to beat normal. The breasted God, “I’m drawing. Well, I don’t care how I feel, what I look like. I’m drawing from that breast.”
“Lord, You’ve promised it. I’m the Seed of Abraham. I am Your child, and I’m drawing from this promise. It’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. I believe You. Next day I’m sicker than I ever was. I’m still drawing. I stagger not at the promise of God through unbelief, but strong in faith, giving glory to God for the promise that He said it would be so.” Hallelujah. WMB
