Pain is inevitable. Pain is not for certain people. Pain is for everybody. If you're on earth,

if you're walking around, you're going to deal with pain. Pain has nothing to do with you being

out of the will of God. Pain has to do with you being a

human being on planet Earth. You are going to deal with some pain. God is all about victory.

Yes, sure he's about victory, but you can't have victory without a contest. Pain comes to all of us

sometimes, some more than others, but all of us some.

Oh, Lord gave Pastor a word.

I'm going to receive that.

But others of y'all are sitting there saying, I'm having, I'm in a great season.

This is a wonderful time. Everything's going my way. I came out here because'm in a great season. This is a wonderful time.
