“Many evils confront the consistently righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” Psalms 34:19 (Amplified Bible)
Are you faced with challenges and problems? Does it appear that before you get out of one situation another one appears? Do you feel that God has left you all alone and you are ready to give up and throw in the towel? If you answered yes to one or all of the questions, this message is for you.
There are two forces that exist in the earth, good and evil. Your Heavenly Father makes the good available to you and the enemy of your soul creates the evil or negativity. Whenever you are on the path to achieving victory know that evil will attempt to put a stop to anything that is going to bring glory and honor to God.
Satan has the ability to peak into your future and see what God is about to do through your life. His ultimate goal is to find a way to hinder you. If you can be hindered or stopped; discouragement will set in and you will begin to think and speak failure and destruction out of your mouth. What you think and speak will have a direct affect on your success or failure.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” If you allow frustration to overwhelm you and begin to speak what you see in the natural, failure will prevail. God has given us power and authority to decree or declare a thing and know that it shall come to pass. “You shall decide or decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light of God’s favor shall shine upon your ways.” Job. 22:28 You must learn to hold your peace in times of challenge and trust God’s power to be manifested through you.
Every word you utter has power. When faith-filled words are spoken through a believer, the power to bring about the success that you desire is also released. God’s power is in the earth living in His children. You are the key to your success. If you do not consistently release God’s power through your thinking and speaking and then act upon what has been spoken, failure will reign in your life.
God has given you the power to overcome every adversity. There must be a clear understanding of how God brings about victory in your life. Throughout the Bible, there are real life experiences showing God to be a faithful deliverer. God is going to work through you just as He worked through Esther, Joshua, Moses, and so many others. His power works through us to bring about victory.
Esther had to fast and pray and seek God for direction as to how to save her people. God worked through her to bring victory into the lives of her people. Joshua had to believe that after walking around six times in silence on the seventh time when the people praised God the walls of Jericho would come down.
Are there some walls that you need to come down in your life? What adversities or afflictions are hindering you? What is holding you back or creating stress and doubt in your life? Whatever the challenge, the word of God mixed with faith is greater than anything that you may be experiencing.
Use these simple steps to help you overcome anything that the enemy may use attempt to challenge your faith.
1. Know that God wants you to succeed in life. He is not the Author of failure.
2. When adversity comes remain calm and begin immediate to speak the word of God over the situation. Speak only what you desire and not what currently exist.
3. Pray the word of God. Prayer mixed with faith will move mountains.
4. Remember, God is not going to it for you but through you. His power released out of your life is the key to your ability to overcome.
5. Be careful who you talk with. Find another faith-filled believer and stand in agreement for your victory. The prayer of agreement increases your power and leads to greater victory. When everyone that is involved in a situation comes together on one accord great power is manifested.
6. Regardless of what it looks like in the natural, never give up. Stand still in your heart do not have any anxiety about anything and watch God go to work through your life to bring forth your desired harvest.
7. Remember, “faith without works is dead.” Keep walking toward your desired goals. Stay active. If you do not work you will not eat or reap a harvest.
The challenge that you are facing is before you to make you strong. As soon as you realize that the “Greater One” is living in you and His power is greater than any adversity that you could ever face, you will be on the road to winning the battle. You have overcoming power living in you. You have the power to win just waiting to be tapped. Refuse to let a temporary challenge hinder the success that God has preordained for your life. Never give up!
