For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. – Jeremiah 29:11

Expected – to anticipate or look forward to the coming or occurrence of. – https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/expected.

According to Jeremiah 29:11 God has an expected end for all of us and according to the dictionary that is something we all should be looking forward to. So then why are so despondent? http://www.miraclebook.net

Despondent – means having lost all or nearly all hope. Implies a deep dejection arising from a conviction of the uselessness of further effort.

From the time God created the world he gave us all free will and with that we believe everything should always go our way and that we should always be living on easy street. When that does not happen and when we are going through extended seasons of challenges, trials, discomfort etc. we become despondent. We all want things to happen fast, quick like warp speed for the star trek fans reading this but that is not the way God operates. He expects a degree of FAITH, TRUST, BELIEF from us all. When we do not have those, we can expect to sink into the abyss.

According to our God given heavenly assignment in life not the man-made ones we decide God is going to keep us on the potter’s wheel until we are what we need to be to complete those assignments. Being on the potter’s wheel means we are being shaped, molded, refined into what God knows we need to be. It is what you would call the HOT SEAT! Don’t try to escape it because no one does. God created all of us and either we do things his way or we will be in the gutter. http://www.miraclebook.net

Jesus said, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” There are many different tests in life that we will be expected to pass and one of the big ones is the despondency test. If we are always going to moan, complain, despise when God is trying to do a good work in us and get us prepared for the abundance, he has for us then we will never attain all that he wants for us and what we want for ourselves. We will be like the children of Israel that never made it into the promise land and died in the wilderness.

So, what do you do when things are not going your way? Pray, keep doing good, keep going to church, keep helping and serving people, keep tithing, keep reading your Bible, keep up your praise and worship to God, always have gratitude. At the appointed time God will lift the clouds and bring you into the abundant life he has in store for you. We all think we know when we are ready to level up, but we don’t. You don’t want to go to a higher level of influence and success when you are not ready or mature for it because the platform that was built for you will just crumble. http://www.miraclebook.net

Trust God’s timing and pass the despondency test and make the devil mad as hell so when you are elevated like David, Job, Moses, Joseph, Abraham, Esther, Ruth and many other heroes in the Bible the devil will have to turn aside and look for his next victim, but it will not be YOU!

As you are looking to expand your horizons and level up you will encounter many tests and challenges. This is what we call New Level New Devil.

We all have a long laundry list especially if we pray bold prayers to God of the things we want, the things we want to accomplish, and the legacy we want to leave in life. The Bible says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’ – Matthew 7:7. http://www.miraclebook.net

God is waiting to be gracious and grant you the things you are asking for but they first must line up with the job he placed you on this earth to accomplish and secondly you have to be ready and prepared to step into that position. When God knows you are not ready, not mature enough to handle what you are asking for he will not give it to you. Christian Books – Donna Louis – New Level New Devil

When God had Moses take command and take the children of Israel from Pharaoh and deliver them from slavery and bondage he did not take them on the easy quick course. The travel time into the promise land should have only been an eleven-day trip but because God knew this group of over two million people were not ready, he took them the long route which wound up being a forty-year journey. http://www.miraclebook.net

Another reason why the journey took so long is because of all the complaining the congregation kept doing. Gratitude will bless your life while complaining will destroy it. Instead of being grateful that they were finally free after all the years of bondage all they did was complain. They complained about the same food (manna) everyday, no water to drink, etc. to Moses all the time. God has a sense of humor and when he sends tests your way and you keep failing, he is not going to give you the desires of your heart. You must trust him, become mature and pass the tests and challenges. Christian Books – Donna Louis – New Level New Devil

For those of you that are parents you will understand this example. You purchase a new car, and your child is in love with it. The color, the new car smell, the wheels, the interior, etc. They ask you if they can drive the car. Knowing all the pit falls and negative things that could happen since they are only eleven years old you say no. This is the same process with God. He knows everything and he will not let you elevate to the next level if you are not ready for it because of the challenges (devils) you will encounter.

New devils come in all shapes and sizes. One example could be that you become a manager for a group of 50 people, and you feel very prideful because you got the promotion over other people, so you start throwing your weight around. No. this is the incorrect behavior so since God knows what you will do before even you do; he will not elevate you to the next level. You could be praying to become a highly successful author which in turn will have you doing many speaking engagements and book signings, but you have an issue with handling criticism badly. Not everyone will think you’re great and so you will come across critics, and you must be mature enough to handle that. You can’t go tit for tat with every person who doesn’t like you.

Be patient to be on God’s potters’ wheel until he has molded you into the masterpiece, he created you to be. Remember every new level has a new devil but you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you.
