Stay the Course. Hold Onto Your Confession of Faith. Don't Lose Hope. Faithfully Endure to the End. (11.22.16)

Faith Believers,
Regardless of what happens, hold on to your confession of faith.
This test of endurance, this trial of your faith, is specific. 
What you are facing today, may not be of your own doing;
nonetheless, you are dealing with it, and it is trying your faith.

1 Peter 4:12-13 - Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 

Do not give up! Do not quit! Do not throw the towel in! The Lord is aware of what you are going through. You are in need of patience to endure faithfully to the end of this matter. Rest assured victory is near, but you must hold on to your confession of faith.

Hebrews 10:35-36 - Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of GOD, ye might receive the promise

Don't give up on Jesus! Don't give up on the Word of GOD, which has been steadfast for you. Don't cast away your confidence in what the Lord has promised you. Just because you are going through a hard time, don’t lose hope.

Romans 8:25 - But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 

Know that you have "No Fault Assurance!"
The Lord's mercy will endure forever. 
Just as the Lord's mercy will endure forever, so let it be with your faith in Him.  Faithfully endure to the end. Suit up in the whole armor of GOD.  Use your faith today and patiently wait for His promises to come to pass.

James 1:4 - But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Stay the course.  Changing your mind back and forth will place you in the sea of indecision. The state of double mindedness produces no decision at all.  More importantly, the wavering back and forth is canceling out your prayer request.

James 1:6-7 - But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord

Take His Rod, place it in the ground of your foundation and hold on to His Word. All your efforts to make things fit have exhausted you. 

Stop struggling, stop striving and surrender everything to the Lord.

There is nothing left to do now but wait on the Lord and be confident that He has heard you. Ask of Him, according to His Will, knowing that He will answer.  Hold on to your confession of faith and be patient. Wait on the Lord, no matter what happens, wait on Him. Turn your mind towards Jesus. The Lord will answer.  He is faithful, trust Him!

1 John 5:14-15 - And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
