You Will Make It - Soul Choice Ministries

My wife and I went through a very intense trial last year, where we really needed to stand firm on the Word of God. Our faith was tested. We could choose to trust God’s promises or succumb to fear and doubt.

During this period I was growing a bit weary and then God gave me a dream. In this dream, I was driving a car with a very powerful engine. It had a lot of horsepower. I was going up a very steep mountain, and there were 15 or 20 cars ahead of me. They were all struggling to get up the hill. Suddenly, one at a time, they each started drifting backwards, and sliding down the steep hill. I had to pull off the road to avoid being hit, as one by one they slid down the hill to their ruin. They all crashed at the bottom of the hill.

The road ahead was now clear, so I proceeded up without any problem as I stepped on the gas. The power of the car took me up and over the crest. At the top, just over the crest, I could see everything was white and covered with snow. It was beautiful, like a smooth white blanket. The air was still, and peaceful. It was just like a heavy snowfall had occurred the night before and now in the day it was calm, serene and crystal white. I noticed only one other car made it over the top, and then I awoke.

The Lord revealed to me that the car represented my life with my wife, and also our ministry. The car I was in was not a large car. I noticed all the other cars sliding down the hill were larger than my vehicle. The large cars represented larger ministries. Even though they were large, these particular ones were now preaching a watered down message, or they compromised the Word of God. Specifically, they were not teaching about holiness, resisting sin, walking in the fear of the Lord, or an eternal hell. There may have been personal compromises, but these details were not revealed to me. These things caused their ministries to fall.

The powerful engine in my care represented the Word of God. When we believe, obey, and refuse to let go of God’s promises, and not follow our feelings, God’s grace will propel to the top, onto the pure white snow of God’s unfailing Word. This is where we find peace and safety.

During this difficult time, we had to declare God’s promises throughout the day, thank Him, and trust Him for an intense couple of months. We had to resist the fear, doubt and lies that would hit our minds. We had moments of weakness where we cried but we knew God was faithful. We had to cast our care on Jesus, rebuke the enemy, and reject thoughts of failure, doubt and unbelief. God had never let us down and we knew having His Word in our heart was the key. I wrote down specific scriptures to stand on and feed my faith with. We refused to let go of God’s word. I also felt led to take communion together for 40 days.

It was a fight…a fight of faith. When things look the worst, it reveals where our faith lies. The Bible says it is a good fight – the fight of faith. After 40 days of communion, we received the first sign of breakthrough. God had given us a bit of encouragement that we were winning the battle by His grace. If He will do it for us, He will do it for you.

There are those of us who are weak in faith, some strong in faith, some little faith, some with no faith, and some that have given up their faith. Times of testing will show us if we really trust God. How much do we really respect and value God’s word?

Today, we are all facing challenging times. The world had changed, and demonic forces have been unleashed upon the earth. Now, more then ever, we need to be close to the Lord and live an uncompromised life. If we don’t, we will fall.

No matter what you are going through, if you will truly surrender your life to Jesus Christ, and spend time reading the Bible and in prayer, He will lead you into victory. Find a verse or two that declares what He will do, or has done for someone in the Bible. He is no respecter of persons. There are scriptural promises for protection, healing, provision, restoration of relationships, parenting, salvation for family members, and more. If you will find even one verse to stand on and really trust Him, He will be faithful to perform His word for you. We show our trust in His Word by thanking Him for the victory in advance, and praising Him in the midst of the storm.
