9/22/26 FORTITUDE

2 Corinthians 4:7-11 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Many who face obstacles in obtaining what they have promised do not realize that without a healthy soul (one that is cleansed and purified of old wounds, trauma, and issues of life) the promises will be hindered until the deeper issues are dealt with. The Lord has been cleansing our souls for many years. It is time to stop running and turn to the Lord about those harder issues. Give Him all those hidden places that do not reflect His image. Give Him our soul and let Him cleanse and make it well again.
