How many believers, after placing their life into God's hands, have felt that they are being overwhelmingly attacked by the enemy?  It may seem that you are failing and that victory is far from you.  This revelation of being "Folded not Failing," came as a Living Word.  Looking at the illustration, you will see multiple layers of Damascus Steel, which has been folded in a fortification process.  Every time this metal is folded, it goes through a process of being placed in the fire and being hammered, coming out stronger than before.  It is written in Jeremiah 23:29 "Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer...?"  In the beginning was the Word, and you must realize that you are his Living Word.  If you are committed to this process, the Father is folding you and forming an instrument of perfection.  The saying "no pain, no gain" has much merit in this case.  Isaiah 41:15 confirms this with "Behold, I will make thee a new sharp (double-edged as the Word of God) threshing instrument..."  I was ministering to someone that had felt defeated in their walk and were filled with the fear of failure.  The Father spoke through me that "You have never failed, God is merely folding you."  Now, allow me to further explain how this came as a Living Word.  After I ministered to to this believer, I was led to search out the meaning of "fail" H3616.  Not to our surprise, it is related to the "Bride" and "Completion." I discovered that the word "Failing" in Ancient Hebrew is spelled with the characters Kaf (Hand/Tame), Lamed (Staff/Teach), and Hey (Behold/Reveal).  The word "Fold" is made up of the same 3 Ancient Hebrew Letters along with Mem (Blood/Chaos/Water) and Alef (Strength/Leader).  In the Ancient Hebrew, when words use the same characters or pictures, they have similar meaning and are spiritually related.  What the Father had me minister previously was a Living Word that he confirmed with the Written Word.  There are multiple paradoxes in the Word of God, where we count those things that are not as though they are.  This is why we say "And now let the weak say I am strong and the poor say I am rich." Remember to trust the process and enjoy the journey that you have which is bringing all of Creation and the Father Salvation!  We are going from Glory to Glory, Amen.
