And daughter, sometimes when the enemy goes too far your Father in Heaven steps in.  "It's enough!"  I'll tolerate no more attacks on you.  I'll tolerate no more of the enemy's abuse on you."  For I know the hidden man of the heart.  I know what you really desire when you lay in bad at night and you cry unto Me and the tears come coursing down your cheeks, and you lay even in your own weakness and cannot move but I hear you.

           I am responding, saith your Father in Heaven.  You have a Father; you have a High Priest; you have a Brother; you have an army of intercessors behind you.  Fear not, saith the Lord.  Though they be invisible, though you do not see them in the natural they are there and they are for you.  "There are more that are for you than there are those that are against you."  But like the Lord Himself, you and others must endure the shame of the Cross.  You must endure the reproach that goes with the Gospel.  You must endure the slander, the lies, the deceit, the backstabbing that comes with moving in the ministerial realm.

You are not immune from it.  But there comes the point, there comes the time when I draw the line and I say it is enough.  And in your case it is enough; there will be a lessening of the attacks.  There will be a lessening of the wagging of tongues.  There will a lessening of the accusations drawn against you. For many of these bows were not drawn by the Hand of the Lord; they were drawn by the hand of the enemy; they were inspired by the enemy -the gossip, the slander, the attacks came from the pit of Hell.  I did not send them against you.  But you must endure as He endured.

           And I speak a word to the church today: listen to what the Bible says.  You must endure the slanders; you must endure as He endured.  You must stand as He stood at times silent before your accusers - dumb, being mocked, being spit upon.  You must endure this.  You must endure the fullness of the Gospel if you would have the heights of the revelation, if the you would have the heights of the anointing, if you would have the heights of the places that there are to be had in God, then you must also endure the sufferings of the Cross.

           Fear not.  I am with you when you suffer.  I suffer when you suffer.  My heart is moved by your plight, by your situation, by your circumstances.  And your Father does come to you and your Father does meet you.  And there is healing for your wounds and there will be great seasons of ministry ahead, not only for you but also for those who also endure the same torment and trials and tribulations that you endure.
