HARD TIMES ARE A GOOD SIGN FOR CHRISTIANS

MUSIC / INTRO

Many times, hard or difficult times are a good sign, especially for Christians.

For example, a physical condition or material situation - or just tough things - will crop up right before you are entering a NEW dimension of ministry.

You might not be aware that a NEW dimension of ministry is about to unfold … or you may have been praying and fasting for it.

A NEW level or area of ministry is extremely important for the people you will be reaching AND for the Lord Jesus Christ you are serving.

When King David and his men returned to Ziklag they discovered their wives and children and all their property had been taken by the Amalekites.

When consulting with the LORD, David was directed to “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.”

The message for you is to “Go, recover all the enemy has stolen from you.” Bind Satan in JESUS’ name and command him to repay you seven times for everything he has stolen from you. “Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.” (Proverbs 6:30-31)

How much more shall the devil, using his demonic agents to steal from you, be commanded in JESUS’ name to restore to you sevenfold, if not more!

Notice that David and his men not only recovered their wives, children, and property that had been stolen … but, also, recovered all the spoil the Amalekites had stolen from the Philistines and out of the land of Judah.

Notice, also, that right before this happened, David was greatly distressed (when his men discovered their loss) because the people were considering stoning him. However, “David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” (1 Samuel 30:6)

A few days later after recovering the losses at Ziklag plus extra riches, David received word that his enemy, King Saul, had been slain in battle. David then went up to Hebron, where the men of Judah anointed him King over Judah. (Even though the LORD’s Prophet Samuel had anointed him King previously.)

SUMMARY

Hard times are many times a sign that you are entering a NEW dimension of ministry … and blessing: for YOU and for the people you will be serving.

Hard times are many times a sign that the devil is greatly concerned about the NEW dimension of ministry you will be entering, and therefore is trying to defeat you through discouragement so that you will roll over and quit. Do NOT do it. Get up, ACT, and recover it all.

In hard times you have an EXCELLENT opportunity to witness to others:

They can see your trust in God.

Your declaration of faith will position you into God’s favor.

Your testimony will encourage others to KNOW or GROW Christ in their lives.

Your friend,
Apostle Handley
