God's direction in finding a place to stay for summer in Anderson, IN. Mamochka is plannng to arrive on May 11 till May 31. Sam and I will finish our school by May 7th. So, together we can stay in a two bed room apartment.
Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby; if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:1-3
And I , brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? 1 Corinthians 3:1-3
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:12-14.




Lamentations 3:24-26I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him." The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
Isaiah 30:18 - Blessed are all who wait for Him!










Jeremiah 31:13Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness.
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
Wonderful affirmation of joy before we danced at Park Place Church of God.
Samuel wrote a song in German called "Lazy Town" about a woman/snow from heaven.
With thankfulness at heart,

Those that will move to a higher realm of authority need to understand that a sustainable anointing and mantle is not possible without testing and trial. Anointing without testing is not sustainable. God doesn't want to just give us a temporary anointing or a momentary breakthrough. He wants us to be able to sustain it. The sustainability factor is crucial in this hour. We must contend for increase and sustain it.
Before promotion, you must walk through a place of contention. You must contend with your giant and gain victory over it before the anointing is released to manifest in a greater measure of authority. God anointed what was tested in David's life.
1 Samuel 17:36-39 "Your servant killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God!" David said, "The Lord Who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the Lord be with you!" Then Saul clothed David with his armor; he put a bronze helmet on his head and clothed him with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword over his armor. Then he tried to go, but could not, for he was not used to it. And David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these, for I am not used to them." And David took them off.
God anoints what's been tested in your life. God anointed David's sling shot, not Saul's armor. David couldn't win the battle in Saul's armor. It hadn't been tested in his life. David wrestled the lion and the bear. He had used his sling and stone out in the wilderness. God anointed what had been tested.
Promotion will come out of your testings and battles. Smaller battles will make you skillful in winning larger battles. Get happy! Because the areas of your greatest testings are about to become the areas of your greatest anointing! The very assignments the adversary had against your life are about to be turned around against him. God is going to release the deepest anointing and glory where you have had the deepest level of warfare and contending.
As Isaac was entering into his land of inheritance in Genesis 26, we see that his land started in a place of barrenness. As he planted and sowed seed in that land, he became very prosperous and fruitful. God accelerated his harvest and in the same year reaped one hundred fold. But God still had more increase for him.
The Philistines envied him and began to bury the wells of Abraham. In order for Isaac to break through to a higher level of fruitfulness in his inheritance, he had to contend with the Philistines. As he dug wells, the first one was called Esek, meaning contention. The next well was called Sitnah meaning enmity. The third well was called Rehoboth meaning room. As Isaac persevered and endured, God made room for him to be fruitful in the land.
The key for Isaac's breakthrough was endurance. As we endure through a place of contention, God will make room for us and will cause us to be fruitful in our land of inheritance. Increase and promotion are coming, but not without a fight. In order to win this battle we must endure to the end.
Prayer
Wait on the Lord and allow Him to break you through every area of battle in your life. Pray the Word. Spend time in worship. Make godly choices and purge all sin and compromise out of your life. Pray this prayer with me.
Lord, I submit and surrender every area of my life to You. I make the choice to live in a way that pleases You. Forgive me of all my sin and transgression. Show me any areas of my life that have grieved You. Release a godly sorrow and brokenness in my heart. May I care most about what You feel. Give me the strength to endure and the godly brokenness I need to sustain Your increase in my life. Lord, may the adversary have nothing in me. In Jesus' name, I take authority over every Goliath in my life that is trying to intimidate me and hold me back. I command it to come down now in Jesus' name. Amen.
Matt Sorger



Isaiah 58: 10-11 says,
...Spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppresses...
then... the Lord will satisfy your needs...
PHILLIPIANS 4:16,19
You sent me aid again and again when I was in need.
....And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
