Have you lost a companion?

Are you feeling secluded and apart,

Isolated and fearful?

At nights your pillows are soaked with bitter tears;

Your bed is cold, and there is emptiness everywhere.

Your friends called, they spoke

But instead of comfort you receive frustration;

Instead of calmness, irritability!

The adversaries laughed,

They mock, and they afflicted.

“Is this my penance for past mistakes?

Will this lonesome pain end?

Will the wound in my heart ever be healed?”

Your mind is reeling fast into dark amiss

How can you cease the inevitable?

And bring back sanity and peace.

Cry unto God!

From the depths of your heart

Call upon the Lord your God,

“Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;

My eye wastes away with grief,

Yes, my soul and my body!” (Psalms 31:9)

“But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord;

I say, “You are my God.”

My times are in your hand;

Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,

And from those who persecute me.
“Make your face shine upon your servant;

Save me for your mercies’ sake.

Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord,

For I have called upon you;” (Psalms 31:14-17)

Then the Lord will answer, and said,

“Loneliness is an illusion, my child.

How can you be lonely when I dwell in your heart?

I am alive, and I speak to you

Constantly!

“Listen to the gentle whisper in your heart;

For it is me.

I am comforting you;

I am counseling you

And I am whispering sweet words of love in your ears.

“Listen, silently!

I am your steadfast companion.

So be of good courage,

I will strengthen your heart.

Yes, I will help you

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)

I will lift you up and give you peace” said the Lord
Hope in God!

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
