Never Give Up, Never, Never, Never!
October 12, 2015
Devotions:
Never give up, never, never, never. What God has told you is yours never quit until you see the manifestation. Put pressure on the word of God allowing expectations to arise that what God has said, He will do. The fight is against our own lazy minds that want God's blessings quickly and without any delay. We have an enemy that is trying to keep us from receiving by inserting doubt and unbelief into our minds. We must be determined to fight life through and see the reward. Whether it is for purity or health or provision, we must be determined that we will not allow the enemy to steal what is rightfully ours by the passion of Jesus.
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” Matthew 11:12 KJV
If we are sitting waiting for God to heal us we will not get healed but if we take time to meditate on the word of God concerning healing until we see to do all that it says and act on it inspite of our feelings, our pains, our weakness then we will see the word bring forth what it says. The same with prosperiety and purity and peace and joy and restoration of our souls. We must learn to stand on the word of God against all the circumstances and opinions of others, even experts. When we are convinced that the word of God is truth and stand on it inspite of all then we will see the fruit.
“For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace. Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be: and they that are in flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not the Spirit of Christ he is not of him:” Romans 8:6-9 DARBY
Our mind thinks contrary to the word of God and there in is the greatest fight. Our mind will put up a tremondous fight and we must be ready to never quit and give into the easy way out. Our flesh is looking for what is easy and feels good and is fun. When we choose to stand on the word of God inspite of the battle that is against us we will see the result. Standing on the word of God means acting like the word is true, by His stripe you were healed. 1 Peter 2:24. Only when that truth is in your heart can you effectively act on it. If you act without believing you will see no results. If you believe but do not act accordingly you will see no results. When you believe and act like it is true, because it is, you will see it manifest in your life. When you have faith in your heart and act, it will be a fight against all the negative voices that say that the word of God will not work for you. Never, never, never give up!
