Past the pain comes reward through faith in Jesus Christ


Have You Heard

“It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”

This idiom means that the strength of a person’s character, determination, and integrity is more important than things like elitism or stature.

It’s foolish to judge what appears to be small or weak too soon because it’s God’s way of fooling the wise in their own minds.

The Bible even says so.

Nonetheless, through Christ we overcome the challenges placed before us on Th training grounds, which can often be life-threatening.

Yet, through our courage, tears, tenacity, and God’s grace, along with the Holy Spirit and our own spirit, the Lord encourages us to value our inner strength and resilience more than mere worldly wealth, titles, or fleeting attributes.

As it says in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV): “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

God chooses and prepares each of us for His mission. The assignment calls for the strength of a servant’s character and determination, rather than elitism or stature.

You can bet that the enemy is out to push buttons to undermine that.

Father says that worldliness means nothing in the grand strategy of things, and the vision laid out by God is clear and accurate.

It is finished.

As it says in 1 John 2:15-17 (NIV): “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”

The love of money is evil.

Nevertheless, never count out what appears small or what you think is weak, outwardly in worldly terms because you haven’t been briefed on God’s will for someone else’s life and calling.

It’s unwise to attempt to destroy it out of greed envy, and covetness because true character, courage, tenacity, and grit, along with fearless obedience to sacrifice, are essential to being the Lord’s mouthpiece and ambassador.

You will never see us acting that way, which is another indication of what is actually going on here.

As it says in Matthew 7:16-20 (NIV): “By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”

Our role is to edify, exhort, teach, lift, warn, and forthtell from the mind of God through the Holy Spirit.

Never attempt to destroy it out of greed or envy, because it will backfire.

Please repent or suffer the consequences of your own actions.

No matter who is chosen and sent by God to suffer in order to be purified, true character, courage, tenacity, and grit were refined but always present, and for years with fearless obedience to sacrifice—we submitted.

Our Father’s fruit outweighs the gifts but is also essential for the mission to suffer a long time to bring forth the truth that will overcome all defeat in carrying out the Lord’s plans as His mouthpiece and ambassador.

As it says in 1 Peter 1:6-7 (NIV): “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”

I repeat: it is foolish and unwise to attempt to destroy it out of greed, envy, or covetousness, because evil and backhanded intentions, along with witchcraft, slander, false witnessing, and secretive acts against servants and our families sent by God will backfire.

Dig a pit, you fall in.

Anyone who seeks to thwart the Lord’s will and plans has already made enemies with God and will suffer losses that ultimately lead to their own demise.

It’s their own fault.

No one can undermine what is already finished and complete, no matter how many people push and prod to incite a reaction?

One thing is for sure: I am a genuine mouthpiece and watchman for the Lord, I paid the price with my life and will continue to stand up and speak the truth to anyone who is being dishonest.

Of course, we choose our battles, and liars do not like to be confronted with their own behavior when it affects the lives of God’s people.

Like anything else, there are sometimes consequences for the innocent due to the wicked and petty behavior of others.

So be it.

But as God is our witness, we stand strong. Although it hurts, is painful, and can be humiliating to deal with, there’s nothing to prove; we have already been tested by God.

The desert preparation refines the qualities needed to accomplish His will and enables us to bring forth the truth that will overcome all defeat in carrying out the Lord’s plans as His mouthpiece and ambassador.

Our role is to edify, exhort, teach, lift, warn, and forthtell from the mind of God through the Holy Spirit. We are not one-line wonders or soothsayers like the charlatans and fakes.

Speaking for myself and my husband, we are in an extremely tight place that feels terrible, as if there’s no escape.

There’s nothing left to do but pray through the opening.

There’s nothing to prove and no need for validation, but we must be on our Ps and Qs because the enemy is able to steal joy right now.

However, when you continue to poke the hive, don’t be surprised if you get stung by a bee, because you don’t know when to let it go and just accept the truth for what it is.

It’s not going to change.

What the Lord has ordained in heaven will be carried out on Earth in Jesus’ mighty name.

As it says in Isaiah 41:10 (NIV): “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

We don’t name it and claim it; the Lord has already spoken it in heaven, and this has been a lifelong preparation.

Nonetheless, those who have just popped up in the last few years, having a brief experience in our lives should know that if they think they are going to abort that plan, they’ve got another thing coming.

Much love and truth,
