I feel like some are dealing with failed expectations and disappointment and I have a word for you:<\/p>\n

God is saying hope will not disappoint; He wants to revive your hope and remove self-protection. He is building your character to persevere. He is doing a new thing and slaying conventional wisdom to enlarge your perspective to go higher with Him. He\"autumn-3753910__340\"<\/a> is using you strategically in this hour to build an altar of peace for others-to teach them to let the government of their lives rest on His shoulders. He will accomplish what you are asking in a whole different way in order to establish His will and guidance in your life. As you wait upon the Lord-He\u2019ll bring the victory-He\u2019ll level every mountain in your path and make Himself the chief cornerstone in your life. He is rebuilding us in His image and you are being built into a habitation-a place He can dwell by His spirit. <\/p>\n

Surely goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life and you will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. For you will teach and preach and many will be the women who follow after you and heed your words from the training you are going through right now. <\/p>\n

Ask God to see a sign of His goodness that the enemy may see it and be ashamed. You have sometimes felt like you couldn\u2019t hold on to faith any longer and God says, Good! Now I\u2019ll take over because you can\u2019t even have faith without Me giving it to you. I have to carry you the last leg to your destiny. I initiated your calling and will complete it. God is good to those who wait; He makes His covenant known to them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
