YOUR NEXT BREAKTHROUGH!
Have you ever thought it strange when you see people who hate those who are loving, healing and blessing humanity? This is what the Bible says would happen to the followers of Christ (2Ti 3:12) and this is exactly what happened to Jesus. In the story found in Luke chapter 6, Jesus was sharing the way of love and healing people, but the Pharisees hated him for it and were looking for a way to kill him. Look at Jesus response.
Luke 6:7-12 The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely. If he healed the man’s hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.

Within a couple days after Jesus confrontation with the teachers of religious law and Pharisees, we see that he went up to a mountain to pray and prayed all night. I don’t believe he went up there because he was having a hard time, but rather to receive even greater strategy to destroy the works of Satan and his opposition to the goodness of God on earth.
Maybe God is allowing you to go through what you have been through so that you will see the need to also make a beeline to that secret place where you will obtain greater strategy from God to fulfill his purpose through your life! Don’t be dismayed by the haters, head to your mountain of prayer; be ready for it to take all night, and watch God reveal to you the secret of…'s
