Remember: New Levels, New Devils!

We are living in an exciting time. The testimonies we hear on Sundays are astounding--healing from emotional wounds of many years, liberation from suicidal spirit to giddy joy, prophetic words that breaks open closed hearts, etc. And these things are happening regularly now. We are almost living the Book of Acts. We are grateful.

At the same time, great challenges have come upon several. Near experiences. Violent clashes with parents, and a house being robbed. How often do these things happen in the life of a church. And all these have happened in just this past 2 months! We are living in an unusual time.

Remember: New Levels, New Devils. With the spiritual upgrading, so do the challenges. BUT DO NOT BE AFRAID. God is still in control. God does not allow anything apart from our benefit. The challenges will expose the hidden in our soul and if we would respond with faith, make us more whole. Trials pass, and if we respond right, character remains. If not, we fall away. A month ago I spoke about the time of shaking that is upon us. It is. It is no time to fear. It is rather the time to press on even more into Christ. The devil will not have the last word. He will be vanquished by the faithful with the help of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray. Be on guard, and always respond forward into Christ.
