A State
of Desperation
by Lonnie
Mackley Mar. 19th, 2014
2CO 1:8
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered
in the province of Asia.
We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we
despaired even of life.
Many of
the wilderness remnant are experiencing a profound state of desperation right
now with overwhelming trials, sicknesses, financial needs, and relationship
issues. They are desperate to hear from God, and desperate for relief from
their seemingly unbearable situations. And on top of all this, God’s presence
and voice seems very far away right now. But this only “seems” that way.
2CO 1: 9
Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we
might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
The Lord
has actually been bringing us to a state of greater faith and repentance
through what appears to be an unending nightmare of difficulties. It’s time to
seek God in a deeper way through prayer and worship whether you feel like it or
not, or whether you have had much success in the past. If you will pray, the
Lord will meet you in a new way now, and breakthrough will finally come.
1PE 5:10
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after
you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong,
firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Deborah, never feel embarrassed about needing your brothers and
sisters to hold you up in prayer. I have a friend who has gone through
horrendous stuff over a course of several years. And even David in the
Bible was going through constant stuff and we read his travail even in the
Psalms. Just think, though, if you are going through all that, you must
have something that is marking you to make Satan try so desperately to
stop you. We speak that angels will minister to you, the Holy Spirit would
comfort you and God would strengthen you in Christ. We are standing with
you. Even the great men of old had times of discouragement or tiredness
with their journey, David and Elijah just being a couple of examples. God
WILL see you through, and I am looking forward to giving you a big hug in
heaven because in different times, your words have been a strength and
encouragement to me. I will continue to pray for you. You sre strong in the
Lord and in the power of His might. The Lord is your strength!

((Debs)) when I read your post I was like I sho can relate to that. And then I heard, "but I reckon that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed." And I sat a little longer and one of my favorite songs came bubbling up so I'm sharing it with you. The song is I'm in His Safety (from Psalm 91) by Lecresia Campbell.
Enjoy and be comforted by His loving presence.

I also remembered a dream I had the other night and in it I was hearing this song.

Wow, you guys. Thanks so much for all the encouragement.
Kimberly, that really lifted me, thank you SO much for your kind words.
Quo, both those videos were like spot on. I liked both of them but especially liked the second one. I just closed my eyes and drank It in. Ministered to me beyond words.....I was in tears just drinking in the Lords love.
AnnaBeth and Michelle, hugs to both of you. My prayers are with you too Michelle. I pray strength, encouragement and healing over you now in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
