Adversities will surely come, terrible times will be a regular feature in our times. We may not determine what comes to us but our faith can determine the outcome of adversities. We must build capacity/faith before Adversities come - because we don't determine when and how adversities come.
But faith in God and His Word built in our spirit will determine the outcome of our lives, circumstances and situations. Build your FAITH and it will be a strong DEFENCE in the days of Adversities.
2 Timothy 3:1 AMPC
[1] BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].
Ephesians 6:16 NKJV
[16] above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
