Birth pangs --Matthew 24:7

Matt 24:7 For nation will rise against nation; and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places thee will e famines and earthquakes; But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

What we have been experiencing is exactly what the Word says. Labour pains. Contractions. Each pain comes and goes, with a certain time in between. When the contractions get closer and closer, the pain gets stronger and stronger, we know the birth is close now. Donna Crouch once said, when the labour pain comes, don't fight against it, but understand that the pain is necessary for the birth, and work with it. Go with the flow, be prepared. You're not a victim, you are in a process to victory.
