If everything just dropped into your lap, you would have no substance. You would be worth nothing. The battles that have been raging have built integrity in you that will take you to the next level in My Heavenly Kingdom.

Heaven has many levels, and you must pass the tests to get there. Just as you had to pass the tests in school to be elevated to the next grade, the same happens in My Spiritual realm.

Many thought they could bypass the test, the siftings, trials and tribulations, and the furnace of affliction. Therefore, they do not have the grades needed for the next move. That is why some thought they could ride on others’ coattails and did not fight their own battles nor apply themselves during the season of war. They sat idly by and allowed others to fight, believing they could advance.

The storms will continue to rage. The battles will be fierce, and only those who have undauntedly trained for the past decade will survive the darkness coming upon this earth. Those who cheated their way to what they perceive as the top will stumble, fall, and receive nothing of value.

The ancient of days stands before the battle-weary. Those who have paid the ultimate price but are still standing. He is ready to grant promotions to those who have finally graduated into the Eternal Glory of Heaven.

The Eternal Glory is the mark of excellence attained by the warriors. All will see and know they are mine, and the enemy cannot touch them. They are the warriors that have gone forth undaunted by fear; fought the darkness and won.
Did they stop and weep at times? Absolutely!
Did they sometimes want to quit? Absolutely!
Did they sometimes wonder where I was at in this charade? Absolutely!
Did they make the grade as the elite of their class? Absolutely!

The harvest is the next plateau, and I will use the elites of the class as leaders to form the army that will bring in this harvest of lost souls.

The Apostle Paul frequently speaks of eternal glory as the reward for enduring present afflictions.

In 2 Corinthians 4:17, he writes, “For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that is far beyond comparison,” emphasizing that earthly trials are fleeting compared to the eternal reward.

Romans 8:18 states that present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory to be revealed, reinforcing the idea that eternal glory far outweighs temporary hardships.

1 Peter 5:10 also highlights that eternal glory is the ultimate transformation and reward for believers, where God restores, strengthens, and establishes them after trials, making them whole and unshakeable in His love and grace.
