COUNT IT ALL JOY

I see you’ve become frustrated with the situation you’ve been battling for a while. Think it not strange that this is happening to you. Do not allow your frustrations to turn into fear. Remember, I said you would have trials, but to be of good cheer.  Therefore, don’t allow the circumstances to overwhelm you. Never forget who you are in Me. Stumbling blocks might slow you down, but they can’t stop your blessing.

I know right now it doesn’t feel like it, but you are winning the battle. So, don’t dwell on the negative circumstances. Oh, I know it’s not always easy to do, but learn to count it all joy. Stand knowing who you are in Me. Rise above what you’re feeling and bring every thought captive into obedience to My word.

You are My workmanship, and I created you to do good works. Therefore, don’t allow anything to rob you of your promises.  Instead, offer Me a sacrifice of praise and turn what seems to be a stumbling block into a stepping stone to your victory.

Count it all joy, and start praising Me for the blessings being birthed from this situation.  Count it all joy that you were chosen to bring glory to My name. Yes, count it all joy, and know that in Me you have the victory.
 

Read and Meditate on His Word:

Joh 16:33  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.

2Co 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Eph. 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Jas 1:2-3  My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

1Pe 4:12-13  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
