It is a season that can make or mar a man, a season where it looks like God is a liar and all He said will not come to pass. Realities that come with the darkest hour are: - A season where fear is as close as the flesh that covers the body. Every man will pass through this season, but mind you, darkness doesn't come always. - A Season designed to make or mar a man. - A non-negotiable season. - A season where doubt abounds. - A season where it seems as though God is farthest. If God has said a thing, He is bound to make it come to pass. Here is the certain truth you need to hold on to in this season; understand that the spirit you carry is not of fear. - It is a season where you will be left alone. -It is a season where God is closer to you. - It is season that preceeds the major a breakthrough. - It is a dawn of warfare! - It is a season where the help of man will be in vain. - In this season, your only help comes from the Lord. - It is a season where the Devil will stand against you. The greatest strength/tool a man can ever have and hold unto is the assurance that the ever present help of God is always with you. What to do in this season: - Watch and pray - Thanksgiving - Understand that your help comes from the Lord. *Prayer Point* Father, give me assurance of your presence in my darkest hour. *God bless you!*
