This too will pass…

“And it shall turn to you for a testimony.” Luke 21:13 KJV

I don’t know what you are going through right now, but I have a word for you: This too will pass, and as it is passing, it will turn to a testimony. Every challenge is a testimony in disguise. I was just thinking about many situations that I have experienced in life and how God showed up for me. A song of praise and thanksgiving rose up within me. Things I thought were so difficult turned out to be testimonies after all. I also looked through the scriptures and discovered that people who believed God only end by testifying to His faithfulness after every challenge (Lamentations 3:22-23, 1 Samuel 17, 2 Chronicles 20, Acts 28:4-6).

Perhaps you are facing a red sea-like situation right now, rejoice, you are about to walk through the sea (Isaiah 43:2). Or you are being confronted by a wall or a giant, you are about to sing a song of victory (Exodus 15:1; Psalms 107:15-16). The presence of God and His commitment to you guarantee that it will pass, but with a testimony of victory (Romans 8:28,31). If you have the blood of Jesus and a testimony in your mouth, you can never lose any battle (Revelation 12:11). You are an overcomer.

Prophetic Word: I prophesy over you that you are more than a conqueror; God is doing the fighting, and you are reaping the victory in Jesus' name.

Prayer: Oh God, arise and take over my battles in Jesus’ name. Amen.
