The antagonizing pain for hours, finally subsides when the the uterus tightens; but You aren’t told to push until the pain is at its highest peak. Moments later, you are holding what is the beauty in child-birthing, all from the pressure.

Diamonds are crystals of pure carbon that have formed under a combination of high temperatures and extreme pressure in the Earth’s mantle. It is said that they are squeezed under pressure of 725,000 pounds per square inch.

A seed cannot be called a plant until it develops a relationship with the ground (the foundation).

What happens beneath the surface is critical to the success of all that is to come. The environmental conditions must trigger the seed to grow. Usually, this is determined by how deep the seed is planted, water availability, and temperature- come on here Jesus, I hear you.

The conditions and the pressure cause the seed to become what it was purposed to be.

Keep growing!

This life ain’t for the faint at heart. Don’t lose your fight. Truth be told, you’re not fighting alone. Don’t lose your bark. Stand up! Gird up your loins (strengthen your core).

“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,”Ephesians‬ ‭6:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

You must go through the pressure to produce the purpose – who you were created to be and why you even exist.

Just because you “say” you’re a Christian doesn’t mean the enemy is going to stop attacking your faith in who You say you represent.

• If you’re a Christian, BE A CHRISTIAN.
• If you’re a mother, BE A MOTHER.
• If you’re a business owner, BE A BUSINESS OWNER.
• If you’re a wife, BE A WIFE.
• If you’re a husband, BE A HUSBAND.

BE ALL IN!

When the pressure is on, come out swinging. The first blow is on your knees.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”Ephesians‬ ‭6:12-13, 18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The second blow is in your word. The knockout punch, comes from your Father and He don’t play when it comes to His babies.

Each phase of your process is important. I know you’ve had your fill of empty promises, cliche inspiration and hope. But trust me when I tell you: what you’re going through is necessary. You will emerge a better version of yourself.
