Hey everyone, I'm back. My name is Tonya Lee Carey and yes, I am wearing black today because the series continues about spiritual warfare and I'm with Faith Based. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the opportunity to share my heart from the Father through me in regards to His love and mercy and grace. Today we're going to talk about endurance. Endurance as a good soldier and I know all about endurance. To get to where I was, to where I am right now, a few decades later I had to go through, we all have to go through and don't run, don't hide because God wants to have a perfect work through us. I'm gonna read a little bit reading today James 1 verses 2 through 4. Be assured that the testing of your faith, when our faith is tested, it requires activity and adversity. It's just flat-out there's a fight. When we activate our faith there's a fight through experience. I know all about the experience and the word is endurance and hardship and adversity. I had a home, lost the home, filed bankruptcy. No, I'm not proud of it but it's something that God allowed me to go through an experience that was not, it was absolutely crazy. Especially what was crazier is having brand new cars one after one after one. I worked okay and then end up a few years later, you're talking about testing of my faith and endurance with a jalopy. I said what in the hell is going on but I didn't run. I kept my face like a flint on Jesus, trusting that his word shall not return into me void. And so it's to let endurance have this perfect work and do a thorough work so that you may be complete, develop in your faith, lacking nothing. Just case in point, as a butterfly, what it take for a caterpillar to break through the shell to become this beautiful flower. And that's what God wants from us. Don't run. Run through it. Praise him through it. You don't know what to pray. I believe one chase away a thousand, two chase away ten thousand. Call on some intercessors. Call on some people, not that can help you, that help you through it, through prayer. That has that connection. Glory be to God. I thank you for this word Lord God that we decrease and you increase. That you will have your perfect work through us in the process of endurance. We give you all the praise, honor, and glory in Jesus mighty name. Don't run. Run through it. Praise in him. I love you. My name is Tonya Lee Carey and there's nothing you can do about it. Until next time, peace.
