Thousands of years before today, there reigned a king who was going about doing the right thing-Jehoshaphat, the King of Judah, had been cleaning up the pollution of sex-and-religion shrines in his kingdom, and urging his people to turn back to God. I too have had intense trials swirling, and just recently as I was plumbing my Bible's depths for His answers, Holy Spirit led me to a story in 2 Chronicles.

I can see that despite the odds, God's people are learning how to receive HIS supernatural breath-HIS reprieve and strength. I am seeing breakthrough emerging, and it's in the very places that the enemy has been tightening his grip. Our God is so much greater than the enemy's ranting and raving, so much more powerful than any war or rumor of war and our Heavenly Father wants to remind us that any problems and battles we are facing are in HIS hands! Although in the natural it may seem as though there is no way out, please allow me to encourage your heart. Whether it is emotional, relational, physical or financial, he is trying to suffocate the life-flow of fruitfulness, creativity and prosperity in and through your life. No matter where you turn, or what you do, a smog of despair continues to shroud you, and you feel OVERWHELMED as you sense the looming plans and purposes of the enemy. You might be one who feels as though disaster is rising upon your skyline, obscuring the hope of your future. Many have become TIRED of fighting and are weary of waiting. I don't know how things are panning out in your world, but it seems to me that even though God's Spirit is moving like never before, many Believers have been facing extreme challenges and difficulties at this time.
