The title tells the whole story. I didn't know that my battles and my struggles were my promotion in the things of God; from the age seven to seventy, I was being blessed while God was crushing me. Everything that is so greatly anointed has also been greatly afflicted. The problems became my promise, it was not self-promotion, it was godly promotion. An Olive has to be crushed to produce the precious oil. As I look back over my life, and I study the Word of God, I see that most of his prophets had gone through the fire, but the Lord delivered them out of it all. The title of the book tells the whole story. 23
