Troubles
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh
patience,
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:2-4)

Greetings to you in the name of His Majesty! Beloved, what a privilege it is to have this opportunity to share my heart with you again. You are so precious!
When I was thinking about what I wanted to share with you, I discerned in my spirit many of you are in need of encouragement. To be sure all we Christians have "troubles" from time to time but God’s Word gives us many words of edification and assures us we have victory over "troubles".
I understand all we have to do to receive "bad news" – "troubles" is turn on a negative TV program, surf the net and visit a website containing negative material, read or listen to a negative news report, view a negative DVD, or visit with a negative friend. To be sure in this world there are many "troubles" but, Precious One, keep reading, I have good news for you!
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
What is tribulation? Webster’s defines tribulation as a distress or suffering resulting from oppression or persecution: a trying experience.
What is a trial? Webster’s defines a trial as a test of faith, patience or stamina through subjection to suffering or temptation.
Would you agree with me that when we are experiencing challenges, a more modern word to describe trials and tribulations, we are going through some kind of "troubles?" Am I reading your mail when I ask you if you are experiencing "troubles" in your life right now? Precious One, keep reading again . . . here’s some more good news for you!
"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me." (Psalm 138:7)
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." (John 14:27)
"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed." (II Corinthians 4:8,9)
Beloved, no matter what kind of "troubles" you are experiencing presently, to be sure as a Precious One, you are not alone, you are not going through your "troubles" alone.
"Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6,7)
"Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:18-20)
Keep in mind while you are "going through" your troubles, that hundreds and hundreds of His Majesty's Worldwide Prayer Intercessorsare praying YOU "through to victory" as we all pray the Prayer of Agreement weekly in unity. We are a growing family of HMM Intercessors committed to establishing His Kingdom come, His will be done on earth, as it is in heaven in your life as well as worldwide (Matt. 6:10).
We want you to know how much we love, appreciate you and welcome your praise reports and prayer requests. We would love to hear from you!
His Majesty loves you! See you in the Spirit..
