From the Desk of Bishop Gerald Doggett...
Just because you face a prolonged season of adversity doesn’t mean you have sinned, or you are unworthy to minister the Word. Your battle could be preparation for your next dimension, not a punishment for past decisions. When perceptions are skewed, reality is distorted. If your perception of the adversity is wrong, thoughts about this present circumstance are incorrect as well.
Shift your thinking from punishment, to pursuit of purpose. When the pursuit of purpose is the main effort, the adversity ceases to be perceived as punishment, and becomes preparation for the next assignment God has planned.
Release your mind from the confinement of being punished. Embrace your purpose, which remains in your spirit, even though it remains under the clutter of misconceptions. Be encouraged as new energy emerges from within; and the path ahead, once again, becomes clear.
Adversity causes information to be revealed that was unknown before. Armed with new information you will be much more effective in future assignments. God’s preparation is thorough, and sometimes lengthy. Shake the residue of hard times off, and move with fresh enthusiasm toward God’s intended purpose. It’s preparation, not punishment!
