I have not seen a time like this before, a time where spiritual attacks of weariness are rampant.
It seems like everyone I have talked to in the last couple days are being pressed beyond what they feel they can endure. And I am not talking about new Christians, I am referring to seasoned, strong, spirit-filled believers, who not only talk the talk but also walk the walk.
I don’t believe the question is ‘is there a promised land for me?’ I believe the question is ‘will I possess it?’
Daniel 7:25 says; And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:
I do believe there are times when the enemy will attempt to wear us out. I believe he will keep on and on until we feel we don’t have the strength to keep fighting – that is his goal.
One of the keys to times like these is staying in the word of God and continuing to speak the word in our lives. Another key is to remain in worship. You and I must keep an atmosphere of faith in our life, especially during seasons of challenge. The Bible says God dwells in praise therefore, we must also keep praise coming out of our mouth at all times.
Galatians 6:9 says; And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
I was thinking about this scripture this morning when I received an email from Bill Burns Ministry. It read; Are you ready and willing to position yourself to persevere in such a way as to receive all that I have for you? Use this opportunity to lay hold of the promises that have been spoken of. Faith will bring the promise to bear in the lives of those who are hearers and doers in this season. Let the blessings come. Let them magnify and bring glory to Me, says the Lord. And, all things will work together for the good of those who love Me and are called according to My purposes.
How do we position ourselves? In Faith. This word says, ‘faith will bring the promise to bear in our lives.’
However, if you notice, the word does not stop there…let’s look at it again; Faith will bring the promise to bear in the lives of those who are hearer and doers in this season.
When we become weary, it is tempting to stop fighting. It is tempting to stop persevering. It is tempting, but it is not what we do. We press on. We are a people of strong faith.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob lives inside of us…the GREATER ONE is in us. There is more with us than with them, for angels are warring on our behalf. We have been given all power and all authority over the enemy. NO WEAPON formed against us shall prosper. God is our strength! God fights for us. I could go on and on but you get the point, I am sure.
Friends, I get that this is a trying season, trust me, I get it. I am right there with you. But we cannot quit now. We cannot become weary and surrender to defeat. We must remind ourselves who we are in God and who He is in us. We must remember that the victory is already won, it was won at the cross. We must enforce that victory! As we do that, we will receive all God has for us.
I declare today; we are positioned today to receive all God has for us. We lay hold of all the promises that are ours today. We declare, faith brings every promise to bear because we are hearers and doers of the word of God. We cry out…BLESSINGS COME NOW! We declare all things are working for our good, for we are those who are called according to His purpose. We give You all the glory and honor God and we thank you that our blessings are coming NOW in Jesus name. We cry out RESTORE! RESTORE! According to Your word, RESTORE Now in Jesus name.
