Let me tell you something right now: you are not stuck.
Beyond every problem, in the insight of every situation, when you’re walking in revelation, you know something. No matter how big the problem is. No matter who is coming after you. No matter what the report says. You know something.
You’re not going to park there.
I am not parking in this problem. I’m not building a house in this crisis. I’m not decorating discouragement and calling it permanent. I am traveling through it.
The reason Jesus endured the cross was because He knew something. Hebrews 12:2 says:
“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
He endured because He knew the cross was not His destination. The grave was not His ending. The throne was.
And I’m telling you today—whatever you’re dealing with in opposition—you need to know something.
Because you are a child of God, you don’t have to park in the problem. You are passing through it. There’s another answer waiting on you. There’s another place prepared for you.
Jesus knew He was coming off that cross. He knew He was coming out of that grave. He knew He was going back to His rightful position at the right hand of the Father.
So when life hits you, when it whips you, when it cuts you, when it nails you—you better know you’re going through.
You are not there to stay.
And while you’re going through it, you must keep your joy. Because joy isn’t based on the problem—it’s based on what’s set before you.
You always have joy set before you.
No matter what the doctor says.
No matter what the lawyer says.
No matter what the economy says.
God says there is joy ahead.
