I believe that 2022 will be a year that will go down in history as being a year that we will have to press our way through pain to achieve our victories.  Most of us understand childbirth.  If a woman, who is in labor, doesn’t push, the baby’s chances of being born could be compromised.  The woman who is in labor must push through her pain in order to see the benefit of her labor.  She cannot give up, no matter how painful it gets. However, the amazing part is, God created the woman’s body to know what to do automatically during labor. 

The mother may be in excruciating pain, but she has to push through her pain to birth to her child into the world.   When we are going through pain as believers, we have to remember our Savior and what He has done for all of us.  He was in agony in the Garden of Gethsemane when He prayed to God before His Crucifixion.  He was tortured when they humiliated, beat Him, plucked out His beard, stripped Him, spit on Him, marked Him, and crucified Him by nailing Him to the cross.  He went through all of this agony to give birth to His family; His bride, the Church!  He went through tremendous pain for each of us.  Christ Jesus had to press through His pain to fulfill God’s Will and achieve victory for Himself and for us.   

In 2021, I had relatives who went home to be with the Lord.  I had Coronavirus and other things to happen to me, but I am still here by His grace and mercy.  I had to press my way through pain and sorrows. I have received many victorious.  I know that my God is with me.  I know that my God is with us because His Holy Spirit is forever with us. Receiving Christ Jesus into our hearts, and believing in Him was the best decision we have ever made.

Therefore, Saints of God, I believe that this will be one of the most prosperous and blessed years ever.  God is bringing us to maturity to understand that He is always in control of everything that happens to us and that we will not walk in fear, but faith this year.  We are the just ones, and our lives must reflect His.  I am believing that extraordinary good things are going to happen to us this year, in Jesus’ Name!
