About the Episode: This is a specific message I felt/ I know is for those of us who are familiar with suffering, like the One we love. This message is to encourage and comfort us. I greatly felt the need to put it out there. John the Baptist asked, "What did you go out to the desert to see?" I hear that question echoing in my soul for many of us along with another scripture in Hosea, "I drew you out to the wilderness to speak kindly to her" THAT IS WHY WE WERE TAKEN TO THE WILDERNESS OF OUR SUFFERING; TO KNOW HIS DEEP COMPASSION, AND IN THAT, TO RECEIVE THE EXPERIENTIAL TESTIMONY OF JESUS, WHICH IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY ( REV 19). It is THIS - the testimony of Jesus and the blood of the lamb ( our communion and fellowship with Him in his suffering as we endure ours) - it is these two things that will overcome the accuser of the brethren, the spirit of the age in the end times. 

NOTHING can withstand the spirit of the age more than His testimony and his blood. That is what our suffering is gaining for us. We need this to face what's coming.
