Persist

Posted on by Dennis Foote

Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.

Galatians 6:9 AMP

Resolve in your heart what you will do.

It’s time to buckle down. It’s time to focus on the task at hand. It’s time to dedicate ourselves to working hard for the Lord.

Yesterday, the Holy Spirit told me, “Welcome to the time of suffering for Christ.”

The separation between light and darkness is becoming easier to discern with every passing day. The light is growing brighter. The light makes everything that is true and loving easy to see.

Persist in walking in the light. The temptation to give up in the midst of trials is a tactic of the enemy to attempt, if possible, to thwart God’s plan.

Nothing can, and nothing will, overcome the light. Darkness flees from the light. Remember that.

Let us not grow weary in doing good. Instead, let us yoke ourselves to Christ. He does the heavy lifting. We just have to show up, walk with Him, and not give up.

God will get you through it. Whatever it is. He is greater than your trials. Worship God. The darkness has to flee. Worship God. He is the One who deserves your adoration and devotion. His love never fails. His plans always come to fruition. Worship God. And abide in the light.

Prayer Points

  • Turn your attention to God and worship Him.
  • Confess your unbelief and surrender your worries, anxieties and fears to Him.
  • Ask God to replace all your dark thoughts and emotions with His truth.

Father in Heaven, we trust You. We believe that You will get us through it. We believe that Your love for us is constant and unfailing. Give us a fresh revelation of how much You love us. Help us to trust in You and You alone. Help us to persist in righteousness no matter how dark or chaotic the world around us is. Fill us with wisdom, love and peace. Amen.

Remember, the sins of some people are obvious, leading them to certain judgment. But there are others whose sins will not be revealed until later.

In the same way, the good deeds of some people are obvious. And the good deeds done in secret will someday come to light.
