It's Not Over........It's Only the Beginning

Since June I've been in a battle that I thought had come to an end.  But as of today, the battle still rages.  I heard a song by Israel Houghton this past week that encouraged me greatly. 

When God is ready to do a new thing in His children, He often uses persecution to move them from their places of comfort to grow them, to bring them into a greater level of ministry.  In the US as it was in Jesus' day, very little persecution comes from the spiritually lost; it comes from the people we hold dear to our hearts------the place where we live, and worship.
