Persistence Is Key

The critical factor that sets winners apart from losers is Persistence. Persistence, derived from the word "persist," means to endure and continue in the face of opposition, obstacles, or discouragement.

Some agents of Satan have been well-trained to persistently attack believers of Jesus Christ. They are skilled in using distraction, fear, and worry tactics to keep believers away from God's Word or anything related to God. Again, the main component of their strategy is Persistence.

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 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, places emphasis on being persistent in encouraging one another, expressing the Christ kind of love to each other, etc.

Can you envision a Pastor assembling a team of mighty prayer warriors to embark on a three-day fast to combat terminal illnesses? During the fast, one group member continuously recites scriptures concerning healing and restoration. Can you imagine the impact and outcomes this could yield?

Look! How long will you accept defeat and non-success as your portion in life? How long will you sit in that building Sunday after Sunday where no one is healed or delivered, and no one seems to be able to get their life together? How long 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 accommodate what God is about to do or what you do to accommodate what God desires.

Oh, I apologize for almost forgetting the spiritual expressions they use to describe their spiritual approach, such as "Nothing leaves God's hands until something leaves your hand" or "The seed that leaves your hand never leaves your life."

Understanding the significance of maintaining consistency and Persistence in our prayers is crucial. It is not just any prayer that matters but incorporates the relevant scriptures that align with our beliefs about what we ask God for. As the Bible states, we are called to remind God of His promises. Unfortunately, we often lose the battle against evil forces due to our lack of endurance. Satan and his followers know this and take advantage of it.

I'm unsure whose spirit I'm addressing, but you must surround yourself with people in a church who prioritize God and His Word. Look for a church that will guide you in finding victory through the Word rather than material possessions. It doesn't matter how long your family has been committed to a particular church. Break tradition and ask God to lead you to a place where His spirit is present.

I implore you not to fall into the same trap as others who believed the Preacher's proclamation, "God is getting ready to do something," but he never gets around to doing it. The freedom God has already granted us is waiting for us to take hold of it. All we need to do is break tradition and adopt the proper protocols to attain the fulfilled life God has in store.

YOU HAVE CIRCLED THIS MOUNTAIN LONG ENOUGH; IT'S TIME TO BREAK TRADITION AND BEGIN O PARTICIPATE IN TRUE FREEDOM!
