         No victory without a battle, no testimony without a test, no triumph without a trial. The victories, the battles, the triumphs, the tests, the problems and the obstacles are all part of life. All those in the Family, as well as any true and sincere, dedicated missionaries, all those who live in My service, preach the Gospel, and lift Me up, are faced with problems--the problems of their natural life and the battles of the spiritual warfare.
         But I am the Answer Man, and for each problem there is always a solution, or many solutions. For each battle there is always a lesson and a victory. For each test there is always a testimony. As My children turn to Me and lean on Me and call on Me, I will provide.
         The emphasis should always be on
Me--on turning to Me, on uniting together in prayer, and on calling on Me to provide. The emphasis should be on bringing each question or problem or difficulty to Me in prayer, in full faith, with a positive and expectant attitude that I will speak and that I will provide the solutions. Discussing problems without prayer and without fully expecting solutions is not the answer. The emphasis needs to be on Me, the Answer Man, and on My ability and willingness to supply and provide.
         Such gatherings should not be solely to discuss and air local problems and situations, but you can come together for a prayer meeting. Come prepared with faith, with My Word, and with a sincere desire to seek Me for answers and solutions.
