Victory Begins in the Dark



At 12am nothing looks different. If you didn't have a watch you wouldn't know that it was a new day.


In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
Genesis 1:1‭-‬2‭, ‬8 NKJV

That's what faith is about. If day started at sunrise everything would make sense but midnight makes no sense. That's why you have to walk by faith and not by sight.


(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV

The very moment I call to you for a father's help the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side!
Psalms 56:9 TPT

Psalms 56:9 NKJV

One day as we were going down to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit that enabled her to tell the future. She earned a lot of money for her masters by telling fortunes. A mob quickly formed against Paul and Silas, and the city officials ordered them stripped and beaten with wooden rods. They were severely beaten, and then they were thrown into prison. The jailer was ordered to make sure they didn't escape.
Acts of the Apostles 16:16‭, ‬22‭-‬23 NLT


Paul and Silas were doing what they were supposed to be doing but were sent to jail.

They could have been down and depressed.

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.  And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.  And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.  But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.  Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,  And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Acts 16:25‭-‬30 KJV

Don't go by what you feel, go buy what you know. God starts the day in the dark. God's timing is not our timing.

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Psalms 50:15 KJV

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 12:32 KJV

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Job 1:1 KJV

Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Job 10:12 KJV

Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:  Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
Job 8:20‭-‬21 KJV

What if the darkness you are going through is not the darkness of the tomb but the darkness of the womb?!?!

God is using that darkness to birth something!

You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,
Psalms 30:11 NLT

When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before! Then all his brothers, sisters, and former friends came and feasted with him in his home. And they consoled him and comforted him because of all the trials the Lord had brought against him. And each of them brought him a gift of money and a gold ring. So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
Job 42:10‭-‬12 NLT

When you go from pm to am nothing looks different.

Ready to Rise


We all have things that can push us down but we're never meant stay down.

We were created to  overcome!

We have bounce back!


Don't, enemy, crow over me. I'm down, but I'm not out. I'm sitting in the dark right now, but God is my light. I can take God 's punishing rage. I deserve it—I sinned. But it's not forever. He's on my side and is going to get me out of this. He'll turn on the lights and show me his ways. I'll see the whole picture and how right he is. And my enemy will see it, too, and be discredited—yes, disgraced! This enemy who kept taunting, "So where is this God of yours?" I'm going to see it with these, my own eyes— my enemy disgraced, trash in the gutter.
Micah 7:8‭-‬10 MSG

This problem didn't come to stay it came to pass.

He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.
Psalms 40:2 NKJV


But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Romans 8:11 NKJV

The enemy's best will never be enough.

Palm Trees bend so they don't break

Trees generally snap, or at least lose a few branches, when faced with hurricane-strength winds. Not palm trees. These staples of the tropics typically bend during gusty weather.

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Psalms 92:12 NKJV

After the storm you won't look like what you came through. The storms strengthen the Palm Tree's root system with a greater capacity for growth.

Down is not my destiny. 

After listing his shortcomings he said this

Therefore I will look to the Lord ; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.
Micah 7:7 NKJV

A caravan had been traveling long before Joseph's brothers plotted against him in jealousy. That caravan kept him from being left for dead. He kept honoring God and living in good character so after going from the pit to the prison, he was in the palace.


Pharaoh also said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."
Genesis 41:44 NKJV

Joseph had his coat of many colors taken away which probably upset him but God had something better ahead.

How many of us are longing for the robe of many colors when we knew we were favored and loved.


But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
I Corinthians 2:9 NKJV

You'll be so blessed and favored that your enemies don't recognize you. 

Now Joseph was governor over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth. Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke roughly to them. Then he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food." So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
Genesis 42:6‭-‬8 NKJV

Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
Psalms 68:1 NKJV

When you let God arise you make him bigger than your problems.

It's important to keep a song of praise in your heart. Take the time that you'd usually spend to worry and turn it to worship.

Even if you brought the troubles on yourself you can still bounce back.

The Prodigal Son, Jacob, leaves his father's farm to seek his fortune in the city. ... With a group of followers gathered about him, Jesus tells the parable of the Prodigal Son, Jacob, the younger son of a successful farmer, begs his father for his inheritance so he can go to the city and become a rich money lender.

"But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
Luke 15:17 NKJV

"But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
Luke 15:22 NKJV

The prodigal son had to make a decision.

For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
Proverbs 24:16 NKJV
