You must be dugged

There is a way to operate in the season of thought time. There is a forcefulness needed from you.
If the mother of the child gave up in the 6th month.. the child would not be born... So she continues to travail in pain having a picture of the child in mind.

The reason why many are giving up so soon is because they don't know what they are carrying.

Hebrews 12: 1-2
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV
The process of birthpangs is to make you light.
(As your baby grows and the uterus gets bigger, this stretching can cause the round ligaments to go into spasm, causing pain in the lower abdomen or groin area. The pain is usually sharp or stabbing. It can be made worse by: sudden movement such as standing up from sitting or rolling over in bed.)
The stabbing pain a woman experience is as a result of the growth of the baby. That babys growth causes the uterus to grow
You see the grow is that of the pains the woman goes through.
So when you are learning to stretch you faith for finances and after that you still stay hungry for days, it's part of the birthpang.
Because when there is so much comfort in an area of you life there will be no growth. So that lack causes a press
You have given God 1million but you can trust God I press to give your firstly 100million.
The first time you will give it will cause so much pain.
