Book preview

It is my deepest hope and desire that this book will bless you. It was birthed out of pain. When I started writing it, I was going through a very difficult time in my life. I was probably at the lowest point that I have ever been in my life. The devil had put out an APB (All Points Bulletin) on me, and was trying to kill me, my children and my grand-children.

When I looked for help and encouragement, no help or encouragement was found. I heard the Lord say, Encourage yourself and encourage others. I was obedient to the Lord and I started writing and encouraging others on Facebook. As a result of encouraging others, I have been blessed beyond measure. I have been able to reach and encourage people all over the world. I am humble and grateful for this privilege.

This book has been prayed over and has the anointing to heal and deliver.

God bless you as you read this book. I speak blessing upon your life, and from this day forward your life will never be the same.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to my children, Larry Williams Jr. and Chakita K. Williams, who in spite of the challenges we faced in life, found the strength to survive and thrive.

This book is also dedicated to all those who have allowed me the privilege to speak into their lives, whether at church or on social media, gatherings or other means.

This book is also dedicated to the brave warriors of God who wanted to give up but through the grace of God found the strength to survive.

I also dedicate this book to my friend Dimple McInvale, who encouraged me to write it and allowed me to make the connections to Around the Loop Publishing Company.

I also dedicate this book to the members of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church where I have served as a servant leader for 22 years.

The Battle Is For Your Future

And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.(Genesis 37:5) You love God. You believe that God will do everything that He promised you, yet hell is hitting you at every corner and you just simply do not understand what is going on.

You do not understand the battles, tests, and trials that you are going through. You do not understand the attack you are under. If there is anything Satan desires to do today, it is to keep you from entering into your destiny. He wants to keep you from your future!

The reason you are in the battle you are in, the reason you are under the attack you are under, has nothing to do with your present. It is about what you are getting ready to have. It is about where you are getting ready to go and who you are getting ready to become. The battle is for your future!

Satan does not care if you live in your past. It is not even your present that is Satan’s greatest fear; it is your future. He does not want you to have what God said you would have, do what God said you would do, go where God said you would go, and become who God said you would become. He wants to keep you from your destiny. He wants to stop you from your future. The trials, the tests, the afflictions and even the setbacks are nothing more than an attack from the enemy to keep you from possessing what God has promised you.

Let’s face the truth; Satan has launched an all out attack against God’s people. The attack that many people are under is the greatest attack they have ever experienced, but the good news is regardless of how severe the attack is—it will not work! Whatever weapon the enemy may have formed against you, it will not prosper. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)

In fact, what the enemy thought would destroy you is going to make you better. What the enemy meant for evil against you will turn to your good. Regardless of what you are going through if you stay faithful, God will turn it around and good will come out of what looks bad. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

The attack against you, your finances, ministry, and even your family will not prosper, and not only will it not prosper; in the end it will backfire! The devil’s plan is going to backfire, and what the devil thought would destroy you is only going to make you stronger. What the devil thought would make you lose faith is only going to make you have faith. In fact, what the devil thought would cause you to curse God is going to cause
