My Child,
There comes a time in all of My Children's lives, when they have done all that they can do and fought as hard as they could, and now stand "helpless" in the sight of a situation that it may feel like you cannot change. It is at this point in your walk that you must not allow the enemy to make you believe that your prayers have fallen on deaf ears. Do not stop standing on My Word; do not say, “What’s the use of praying?” and give up.
Giving up won’t accomplish anything.
Except push you further into despair.
And increase the challenges, issues and mess.
The first thing I Want you to remember is this - when the opposition comes on strong, it is because the enemy is trying your faith. Point blank. Period. he is attempting to 'permanently plant and root' thoughts of despair into your mind; so that you will give up because he knows that you are so close to your blessing. You must - My Child, you must - close your mind to his tricks of intimidation and hold on to your profession of faith. You must persevere in prayer, and not allow the enemy to steal the word I Have planted in your heart.
The second thing I Want you to remember, is to say My Name, claim the victory, simply say - BUT GOD… Say My Name. For I, GOD and GOD alone, will bring you out of this trial. Beloved, you must continue to stand on and believe in My Word, regardless of what's happening around you.
I Want you to come boldly to the throne of grace, to seek mercy and find grace to help you, during your time of need. And having done all that you can, stand and do not stop praying for the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. Be strong and of good courage, knowing that I, Your Father, always hear you when you pray. Never forget that I Can do great things in your life, when you have complete trust and faith in Me.
Do not allow the enemy of your soul to tempt you to give up.
You must live by faith, for it does not bring pleasure to Me, when you lack faith in My Word. Have faith in Me, to bring to pass all that I Have promised.
You’ve battled storms before and 'loss' - or, at first it may have felt like a 'loss.' But you know that it worked out for your good. You came through it. You turned it into a testimony. There was only a 'true loss' when you lost trust in Me. When you turned away from Me.
However, more often than not....
You’ve battled storms before and won.
Why is this one so different?
Is it because it’s lasting longer than expected?
Well, let Me tell you this - when you see your blessing, you will understand why everything lasted so long.
So, pray on My Child.
Trust Me.
Live by Faith.
And pray on.
Pray on.
Pray on.
Pray on.
NEVER stop.
Praying.
