         There are many reasons for battles, tests and trials. Each is designed with a purpose and plan to bring out a different sweetness and a distinct fragrance in your life, but all are designed with the purpose that you may unite with your prayer mates. For when one stumbles and falls, the other is there to lift him up. This is My plan, this is My gift to you. I have given you each other, one to another, so you may not only live and enjoy each other in love and work and play, but so you may uphold each other and fight for each other in prayer. In this is your strength. This is a precious and rare gift--the gift of prayer mates, the gift of praying for one another, fighting side by side at My throne of grace.
         Therefore fear not to share with others the fierceness of your fight. I do not look upon how heavy the battle, how strong the fight, or how weak the vessel, and judge you in this. Battles will not cease for a little while longer, but how you choose to get the victory, how you face the battle and hang on to Me is what will count and make the difference and bring you through to victory.
         Call therefore on your prayer mates so you may fight and win, that others may see and be encouraged and follow. This I do that you may be a living testimony to the power of united desperate fervent prayer.
