II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." James 1:2-3
I – Mikkel Dahl – by the power vested in my commission, COMMAND you in the Name of Jesus Christ: at every hindrance:
REJOICE! At every obstacle: sing to Him in thankfulness; at every mishap or apparent want or need: jump, shout, sing, and dance in GREAT JOY (because our great and wondrous Lord has SEEN YOU FIT TO THUS BE TRIED AND TESTED)!! THEN – the Lord – beholding that you truly believe in His GOODness, love, wisdom, and loyalty, REJOICES TO BLESS YOU (and bless you GOOD)! For, the greater the problem and the testing, THE GREATER THE BLESSING IF you prove yourself to be a Joshua and/or a Caleb....
"WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?" Luke 8:25
WHAT did the Lord mean? HE expected them to be aware of His identity: the Creator incarnate was with them in the boat: WHAT HARM COULD BEFALL THEM?
SIMILARLY He expects of YOU! IF His LIFEseed is in you, then HE IS IN YOUR BOAT!!! Nothing but GOOD can come to you! Let the shrieking storm grow coarse and the tempestuous waves batter your boat: REJOICE WITHOUT MEASURE!!
AWAKEN THE MASTER WHO SPEAKS:
"PEACE, BE STILL!" Mark 4:39
You have been reminded: you are being commanded – REJOICE AND PRAISE AND THANK HIM for every wind of tempest:
FOR WHATEVER APPEARS TO TEST YOUR FAITH. When He beholds your faith and hears your songs of praise in thankfulness (at being tried), HE TOO REJOICES TO BLESS YOU GOOD!!!
