Tears are streaming down my eyes now as
I'm reading your email of 13/11 on Leilane Zilio's
testimony stating that she's had no breakthroughs
in finance, etc.
I am relating myself to this testimony and my tears
are not for sadness but feeling God's reassurance in my
heart that He hasn't abandoned me and that
He's hearing my prayers.

What happened to her also happened to me
Leilane says:

"I have had no breakthroughs in finances or health
or my work or relationship but rather a breakthrough
in realising that the walk with God takes time and effort,
in human terms, but more than worth the wait.

When I looked back, I realised that me as a person
have changed, I am more patient, has more faith,
fears and doubts less and overall have grown an
internal understanding that God will do everything
in his own time, which is very difficult for me as
I am a quick, quick kind of person."

She is definitely making spiritual progress.
But getting to this level is not so easy.
She continues -
=====
"I have read all praise reports and at times grew
disappointed and discouraged and thought and asked
God what am I doing wrong that the others are doing.

God what am I doing wrong that the others are doing.
But eventually, after I had a serious talk with myself,
I sat down and decided even if it seems nothing is
happening in the natural, something must be happening
in the spiritual.

I don't want easy breakthroughs today and have

I want to have the spiritual maturity that when
I receive such, I will be able to hold onto it and really
have the knowledge and unshaken faith in my God.

The patient perseverance that only God can give
and that is my praise report.

Many years ago I too grew discouraged.
I wanted to give up.
I wanted to give up.
But the Lord used that situation to teach me
2 crucial lessons.
2 crucial lessons.
First lesson: PERSEVERANCE.
That is, how to NOT give up even if the enemy is
bombarding you from all sides.
bombarding you from all sides.
Because the REWARD of victory is nothing to be
compared with whatever you're seeing today.
compared with whatever you're seeing today.
Please take this prayer with me:
LORD, empower me to pursue, overtake and recover
all that the enemy has stolen from me in Jesus name.
all that the enemy has stolen from me in Jesus name.
I pray that the anointing of the overcomer will come
upon you this weekend in Jesus name.
upon you this weekend in Jesus name.
