There was a little boy whose big brother went to war in Europe during WWII. His big brother had protected him from the neighborhood bully. But when the big brother left for Europe, the bully began to mistreat the little boy unmercifully, making his life completely miserable.

There are people who have put forth effort and made attempts to get to goals that have been formed by convictions. Those convictions were set in their hearts by the movings of the Lord through teaching or prayer or prophecy. But circumstances have bullied you in order to stop your progress just as surely as a school bully stands in front of a smaller child. For some, even persons have bullied you emotionally and psychologically with their doubt, unbelief and skepticism. 

BUT your big brother is home! He has come in the form of the powerful Holy Spirit to be with you and dwell in you so that “greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world” and He “will never leave you nor forsake you.”

“The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: Surely I will not again give your grain as food for your enemies, and [the invading sons of] aliens shall not drink your new wine for which you have toiled;” (Isa.62:8, Amp)
