We all experience attacks from the enemy. This is part of the Christian experience. The Lord Jesus once said: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). The good thing is that the scriptures reveal these times of persecution, tribulation and testing are only for a season. Psalm 30:5 says: “Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” Seasons of testing have an expiration date. When Satan tested Jesus, he left him after he had tested Him: Luke 4: 12-13 “And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.” So if you are in the middle of a trial, a test or in the desert, be reminded today that it is not permanent. Remember that He told us to be of good cheer because He already overcame the world, and now we have the spirit of the overcomer within us. With His help, you will come out on the other side victorious and with a great testimony!
It came to pass, not to stay!
