“Soon, Your Grief Will Be Turned To Joy!”

by Lonnie Mackley   August 20^th, 2014

^{JN 11:21} "Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died”.  

I just felt led to encourage some of you with a word that I got from the Lord today. Some of you had been praying for miracles for a long time for certain things (sicknesses, relationships, finances, and other things), but when the time limit ran out for the miracle and it didn’t happen the way that you had hoped, you saw the worse-case scenario happen and it left you heartbroken and disappointed.

^{JN 11:4} When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."

The Lord wants you to know today that even though things didn’t go the way that you had hoped they would, that a miracle is still going to happen for you very soon. Like Lazarus, when it seemed too late to fix things, God is going to step in for you after the fact and do the impossible! Remember that God likes His miracles good and impossible first, so that people will know that He alone did it.

^{JN 11:22} “But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."

So no matter how bad things seemed to have turned out in the end in your situation, Jesus wants you to be like Martha and to believe that He alone can do the impossible even though things look and actually are as dead as they get. You have asked that God would receive glory through your life so expect things to look impossible first. Get excited, because soon your grief will be turned to joy!

^{JN 16: 20} I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
