I believe the terrible things that we endure in our lives are meant to be like rites of passage for us. There are things we must undergo so that we may enter in to the places that God has prepared for us. Destiny.
Rites of passage in tribal cultures are a means of qualifying the young and inexperienced to become full-fledged members of their culture, to be considered members of full age, fully equipped and ready to assume the greater tasks of their society.
But until we endure the hardship of these rites which are administered by the enemy of our souls, we are not qualified to enter in. We need to begin to look on all of these trials and hardships as the qualifying instruments the Lord means them to be in our lives. Consider for a moment that the devil has one purpose: to make us shine like the Son!
We take on the polish of Heaven when we learn to violently take the Victory that God has already assured is ours! " 'Victory in Jesus!' my Holy warriors cry. 'Victory in Jesus!' is the battle cry."
Forward march!
