• There is a phase in a believer’s life called the furnace of affliction; it is an experience that refines and prunes.
• The goal is not to destroy you but to refine you into God’s choicest vessel.

“Show us the ancient paths
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to walk in the ways of Jesus
We want to enter Your rest
Show us the ancient paths
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to follow the footsteps of Jesus
We want to enter Your rest…”  – Song

• In the making of olive, there is a threshing process that precedes the flow of oil. This process can be likened to the life of a believer; before greatness is birthed, there must be pruning.
• The path of champions is a lonely path. Never think it unusual when you go through trying times.
• Sometimes, when God pushes you, it is proof of His confidence in you.

“Take over, Jehovah, I have come to the end of myself… Hallelujah, Hallelujah, I have come to the end of myself…” – Song

• Not every bad circumstance in your life is demonic.
• Some hard times are seasons you must pass through for your destiny to be birthed.

Keys To Surviving Difficult Seasons

1. Never lose your joy: In God’s Kingdom, joy gives strength.

Philippians 4:4 (KJV)

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

Nehemiah 8:10b (KJV)
…neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

2. Engage in strategic prayer: It is important to make prayer your anchor even in seasons when you don’t understand God’s dealings.

Learn to engage the mystery of night prayer. Let your home become a portal and an altar unto God. The Power of every believer is in prayer.

Fire is an emblem of the spirit. It refines and brings judgement. This fire comes through prayer.

Join us as we engage the mystery of prayer. Begin to pray in tongues.

Psalm 125:1-2 (KJV)

1. They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

2. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

Psalm 125: 3-4 (KJV)
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

Psalm 125:5 (KJV)
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel

• Prayer is a strengthener, it gives you the stamina to go through seasons.
  Pray: Lord, as I pray tonight, stabilize me and grant me the grace to withstand the storm for the sake of my loved ones, family and generation.

3. Prophesy: as a believer, there is no greater time in your life to engage the creative power of the spoken Word than when things do not work out as expected.

Numbers 14:28 (KJV)
Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

Psalm 138:8 (KJV)
The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

• Possibilities can be created through God’s Word.
  Lift up your voice and declare God’s Word over your life tonight.
• Pray: Lord, change my life and destiny in the Name of Jesus.

“We look to Yahweh, Yahweh
Our hope is Yahweh Yahweh…” – Song

• Pray: Lord, it is true that weeping endures for a night, let the sun rise over my life tonight, in the Name of Jesus.
• The rewards for successfully passing through pruning processes with God include:
  1. Strange dimensions of favour
  2. Genuine, authentic spiritual power
  3. Increase in your spiritual and physical influence
• Pray: Oh God, enlarge me!

“Jesus, the Son of God, I believe in You, I believe in You
Jesus, the Son of God, I believe in You, I believe in You…” – Song
