“Many evils confront the consistently righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of
them all.” Psalms 34:19 (Amplified Bible)
Anyone who has become an overwhelming success through faith and trust in God has a great testimony that can be shared with the world. Many highly successful people lost everything when they begin to walk toward their destiny. Others were homeless and some had to live in a cars or stay in someone’s basement or sleep the their place of business. But, the exciting thing about the lives of these individuals, they never gave up. Quitting was not an option. Somehow in the midst of what appeared to be blatant failure, that still small voice that lives in them would not allow them to throw in the towel.
I heard Mr.Tyler Perry say that even though he went through many trials and tribulations, through it all, God proved to be faithful. Mr. Perry is just one of many Americans who have achieved great success after a period of struggle that appeared to lead to ultimate failure. But, thanks be to God, his trust was in the God of this universe and he knew that God would not let him fail.
Do you have a vision or a dream that you desire to see become a reality? Is there a delayed goal or project that appears to be lying dormant in your life? Does it appear that there is nothing but bad news or no news at all taking place? Well, this message has been written to give you hope in the midst of what appears to be failure.
First of all, you must have the utmost confidence and trust in God’s word. If He promised never to leave you or forsake you then you must live by that word. His word lets you know that He takes pleasure in the prosperity of His people. God does not want to see you living in poverty or with sickness or disease. The negative challenges that you are facing exist because the enemy of your soul does not want to see you walk in the victory that God has for you.
There must be a deep understanding of faith. “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” When faith is at its highest level, it calls those things that have not been manifested as though they were. Faith believes that you have the thing that you desire even though everything seems impossible. Faith never changes its confession. It simply believes God even though there is nothing that can be seen. Faith allow you to continue to walk toward your destiny expecting to reach your destination at a level beyond what you thought possible.
When faith is active it never talks about the problem. You must never give in to any temporary setbacks because they are only temporary. God tells His children in His word that you can have what you say. It is important that you consistently say what you want out of life. The power of the spoken word will cause the thing that you want to begin to move in your direction. Ninety percent of all failure exist because of the negative words that have been spoken and the unproductive thoughts that linger in a person’s mind.
It is not easy to stay positive in the face of adversity. We have been conditioned to think the worst when problems arise. Not only do we think the worst but we shift into fear, anxiety and even anger because there is the belief that God has failed us. God takes no pleasure in the failure of His people. He is a God who desire to see you overcome every obstacle that may be hindering you from reaching your goals.
It takes perseverance and relentless pursuit to achieve great things in life. Once you understand that you have been given the power to change your lifestyle and that there is a greater source of power living in you than the force that wants to see you fail. You must never give up.
Surround yourself with positive people. I heard a persons who has overcome cancer, MS, divorce and rejection say some positive words that will continue to ring in my heart. She said I never thought I would not succeed. I surrounded myself with
a “Pusher” and a “Puller”. Her pusher would not let her give up. Even though her Pusher’s career is totally different, she is the person in her life saying, ” it isn’t easy for me or you, but we can’t give up.” Her “Puller” is someone who has been through the ranks of temporary setbacks, hurdles and disappointment and still achieved great success. The “Puller is there to give you the pull that you need to take you to the next level. Do you need a Pusher or a Puller? Why not ask God to send into your life the individuals who see in you what you may not see in yourself. Your positive attitude will draw those individuals into your life. Don’t spend anytime worrying about how you will meet these individuals. Your job is to believe.
The power to attract what is needed lives in every individual. Even though it is there most people never tap into this awesome ability. What you think, what you visualize, what you expect and most of all what you believe is what you will achieve in life.
Spending time in worry, fear, stress, doubt and unbelief are qualities that will abort your vision and create a climate for failure. Even in the midst of what appears to be disaster, you must believe the word of God more than you believe what you see. The challenges that you are facing are just stepping stones to your success.
Begin to daily speak the word of God over your life. Live by the promises of God. They are all yes and so be it. That means they are yes and yes and yes. Do not allow others to distract you from your goals. Stay focused on what you desire to see manifested in your life. Always expect success. The breakthrough that you desire will only come when the word of God becomes a reality in your heart. When the word takes root in your life, the walk of faith will lead you to victory and success. Remember, God has promised to bring you out of every test and trial. Take Him at His word. He is truly a faithful God.
