In this spiritual journey, you need to know you've been called by God to do something great. I want you to get into your spirit with every great feat; you'll face some adversity along the way. Always remember, God's in charge. You may think the enemy has control, but in reality, the enemy has no power over you. That's right; the enemy provides you with an illusion so that he appears to be in control. In the church, we shout, 'the devil is a liar.' The real power, the real authority, and the real lover of your soul is Almighty God. I don't know what your calling may be, but you can rest assure, it's worth whatever you're going through. As one of my mentors told me a few years ago, 'when God's putting you through something, you can be certain, He has something good for you on the other side. All you have to do is hang on.'

Throughout his ministry in the Bible, the apostle Paul was beaten, arrested, imprisoned, ridiculed, and tortured. On one occasion, he complained to God three times about a particular thorn in his side. Can you imagine Paul saying, Hey God! Why me? Why do I have this pain? Why this discomfort? But God, in His own loving way, gave Paul four powerful words to hold on to. These four words were "My grace is sufficient." Check this out. The thorn never left Paul and he was still able to press on knowing that God was able to carry him through anything and everything. That's my word for you. God's grace is sufficient for you. You're in it because you can handle it. You're stronger than you think. Keep your head up and know that you're not forgotten by God.
