Lasting trials can wear on us. A spirit of depression can tempt anyone who is experiencing a lengthy trial. We can find ourselves doubting God’s Word and falling for the lie of despondency. If we're not careful, we can focus more on the trial than we do on God's promises. Our faith is a fight and when we experience these carnal feelings we need to wage war against them. These feelings don't agree with the Word; they're not Spiritual. We fight the things of the flesh with the Spirit – we attack with the Word. 

The Bible declares boldly that the revelation (the demonstration of the Word) will come in its appointed time – there is a specific time set aside by God for your victory! Looking forward to our appointed time can escape us when the trial becomes the center of our attention. An appointed time may not seem like much encouragement while you are in the midst of the suffering, but you must make God’s promises your focus on purpose; only they will bring life to your situation. 

 
There is a specific time for your breakthrough. God has already procured your victory; it is finished! If we don't find out what God has to say about our trials, we'll lack Spiritual hope. We must meet with God; we must open His Word and abide in His presence. Our situation is impossible without Him! We'll never experience our appointed time without His Word. 

 
The trial you are in right now has an expiration date; you are coming out of the fire – and you won’t even smell like smoke!
