Older Does Not Necessarily Mean Wiser (Part 1)

To you I will say this. God still would not allow you to be tested in that area of your life if He didn’t equip you with the strength to be able to overcome it. Remember, He put your gifts in you from before the womb. You may say as I did, “Well He got the wrong one because I can’t handle it. This is too much for me to bear.” At that time comes your upgrade. You put on the whole armor of God. You let Jesus and the Holy Spirit take control of your body, mind, and soul so that they can get you through it. You have maxed out your strength.

It’s time to go to the next level. Just like in a video game, with the next level you have more gifts to access, stronger firepower. Where on the previous level it was called
“firepower,” on this level it is called “mega firepower.” The weapons increase. They increase for a reason. Yes, you do have a bigger and tougher fight on your hands, but you also have more weapons and gifts/tools to fight the Enemy with.

You couldn’t fly on the previous level, but on this one, you have the ability to fly if you grab hold of the right gift. You are now on a new level. You have new struggles. You are on a new level. You have new weapons. You can still overcome it, you just won’t know until you start accessing those new weapons and using them. Just because you haven’t done it before, does not mean you cannot do it now.
