The Adversity That Sifted You

By Becky Porter

Your time in the desert has taught you well.  Your time in the desert has put some strong things down on the inside of you that were not formerly there.  You are a different person than you were before you went through all of the adversity, but know that the adversity that sifted you, HAS ALSO SHIFTED YOU - a shift has occurred on the inside of you - it has put a strong backbone of iron inside of you - you now have a new strength and authority you did not previously have, and a tenacity and staying power that you did not formerly possess.  You may not feel strong, but you are, and you will see that strength come out when you least expect it! 

Sit at My feet and pour out your heart to Me – fellowship and commune with Me – tell Me what you want Me to do for you.  I want you to know that faith has a voice and it moves Me!  It was faith that healed the woman with the issue of blood - it was her faith that caused healing virtue to flow forth from My body!  Her faith made her whole, and so will your faith do!  Healing is the children's bread.  The more time you spend in My presence, the more a surety will be built on the inside of you that I DO want to heal you and that I DO see you as worthy and valuable - I want you to know that you are definitely NOT overlooked or rejected - I have captured every one of your tears and I have turned them into a “healing pool of Bethesda” for you!  I will heal and restore all that the locusts and canker worm have eaten in your life.  Arise, shine, for your light has come.  This is your time - this is your season - arise and come forth Queen Esther!  Arise, and step forth boldly into the destiny that I have designed and ordained for you!  I will use you more in your latter days than in your former - do not hold back and do not look back, but step out in faith and I will meet you there!"

Mark 5:25-34 NKJV

Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”  But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

Joel 2:25 NKJV

“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, my great army which I sent among you.

Once again, Thank you Becky! 

We moved to the desert in 2008, and I had never truly fasted.  The time in the desert was so full of spiritual warfare that I went on many three day fasts. 

I learned that even though I am weak and foolish, He is always faithful!
