Dean Radtke once said, "It will only get worse, you must get better." No one really wants to hear this, but it's true. The sad part is when things get worse, so do most people! People have a tendency to do whatever it takes to avoid being stretched or pressured, but the avoidance of these things will lead to poverty in every way: spirit, soul, and body.
Many pray for God to bless them, but when the pressure and need to stretch come they cry like little babies. Here is the truth: If you want to grow. If you want to have more. If you want to proper. You have got to be stretched and have pressure applied to expand your capacity. If you were fine the way you were, you would already have every thing you every dreamed of. The problem is that you are not capable of receiving all the blessing you desire. You need to be stretched and pressured to BE more.
A rubberband is useless without being stretched. A tire with worthless without pressure. If you were in a plane at 35,000' and lost cabin pressure, you would be dead. A diamond was produced from coal under tremendous pressure. Pressure and stretching prepares you for future blessings. Again, if you want more, you must BECOME more.
When stretching and pressure come, from now on don't fight it, rather receive it. Pressure and stretching is an invitation from God to grow to receive your blessings.
