Persistence Is Key
The difference between a winner and a loser is simple, "Persistence." The word Persistence which comes from the word persistence is defined as enduring or continuing in whatever, despite opposition, obstacles, or discouragement.
Satan has his spiritual and human agents well drilled and trained in the art of being Persistence in their attack against Believers of Jesus Christ. They are skilled in the art of distraction, fear, worry, and doing whatever possible to keep the Believers from God's word or anything that remotely relates to God, for that matter.
The average Christian has yet to understand the importance of being constant, relentless, and Persistent in prayer, speaking the word of God, declaring it, believing it, and never ever taking their focus off of the spiritual war they are constantly involved in.
Can you imagine being a part of a church where the Pastor holds regular meetings, not to bamboozle you out of your money? Instead, share strategies in prayer or layout a map of your community or country and assign each member to focus on a particular part of that community, city, or country to declare certain scriptures over that territory until they witness change?
Can you imagine a Pastor putting together the best prayer warriors and having them enter a three-day fast against specific diseases such as cancer, AIDS, etc.? While doing this, one person in the group is just reciting scriptures related to healing and restoration. Can you imagine the effect and results from this would produce?
Look! How long will you accept defeat and non-success as your portion in life? How much longer will you sit in that building Sunday after Sunday where no one is being healed, no one is being delivered, no one seems to be able to get their life together? How much longer will you sit and hear the same old, such as "God is getting ready to do so and so" or "There is a shift in the atmosphere." Still, there are no scriptures or spiritual strategies to either accommodate what God is about to do or what do you do to accommodate what God desires to do.
Oh! Yeah! Yeah! I'm sorry I almost forgot their spiritual jargon that I guess equates to their spiritual strategy such as, "Nothing leaves God's hands until something leaves your hand" or "The seed that leaves your hand never leaves your life".........
We must take seriously the importance of being consistent and persistent with prayer and not just any kind of prayer but prayers laced with the scriptures that pertain to what we believe God for. God said in his word that we must remind him of his word! We become losers in our battle against the forces of evil simply because Satan and his crew are fully aware that our endurance level is zero!
I don't know whose spirit I am speaking to, but you need to find yourself around folks and in a church that will place emphasis on God and his word. A church that will teach you how to be victorious in the word and not in material things. It doesn't matter how long your family attended that place. Break tradition and ask God to lead you to a place where HIS SPIRIT inhabits.
Please do not end up like so many before you that died waiting on what God was "getting ready to do but never did it there!". The day you break rank with the lord's leading and occupy what he's called you to, you will begin to see the immediate change in your life and simultaneously recognize that you were in complete bondage.
YOU HAVE CIRCLED THIS MOUNTAIN LONG ENOUGH IT'S TIME TO BREAK TRADITION AND BEGIN O PARTICIPATE IN TRUE FREEDOM!
