Eight Steps to Overcoming AdversityWritten By: Jonas ClarkAdversity. We’ve all had to face it in our lives. It’s a time of hardship, affliction and otherwise misfortunate circumstances. If you are like me, you probably thought adversity would never come nigh your dwelling after you sold out to Jesus.
Wow, was I ever wrong! In the beginning of my Christian walk, it seemed the more I obeyed God the more adversity came my way. I quickly discovered that I didn't like adversity. I still don't. I like peace. Like a severe storm, you can almost sense adversity coming…the calm before the storm. When the storm of adversity comes, it demands your total attention.
Adversity visits us all from time to time - and in many different ways. It can come disguised as marriage trouble, sickness, financial calamity, hardship from personal attacks, or even difficulty in the workplace. Adversity is no respecter of persons. All of us will face it. The question is how we will respond to it.

Growing Strong in the LordWritten By: Jonas ClarkThe Spirit of the Lord is saying, “It is time for more spiritual strength and capacity.” Are you willing to do what it takes to develop spiritual muscle?
The Spirit of the Lord is saying, “It is time for more spiritual strength and capacity.” I’m sure this is a welcomed prophetic announcement for Christians with a desire to receive all that Jesus has planned for them. This may even be a confirmation for those with gifts and anointing who realize they need more preparation in order to properly carry their ministries.
The truth is a desire for greater capacity alone will not suffice. Every believer must determine to do whatever it takes to develop inner strength and spiritual capacity so they can be strong in the Lord. That spiritual strength and capacity will enable you to fulfill your destiny in the face of any and every obstacle.
What exactly is spiritual strength? Quite simply, spiritual strength is the ability to carry an enduring heart that follows after God even when His calling or message is not popular at the time (Numbers 14:24). It is the capacity to live in hard spiritual climates when those around you give up, break rank and run from their faith in God. It is the capability to cart the fire of God’s glory according to His will and not your own. Spiritual strength is the endurance beyond the “norm” of moderate Christian living that comes out of pressing into Jesus for more of Him. Jesus said, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6, emphasis added).
