MOVING BEYOND THE BREAKING POINT

Yesterday
I read a post from a friend who I met on Facebook several years ago. He
was in Washington DC having a great time with his family. About three
years ago he was diagnosed with cancer and needed a bone marrow
transplant. I remember him telling me that the worst thing anyone could
do is lose hope. He said that he is a soldier and he was always looking
for the next battle to confront it head on. There is no surrender to the
enemy. Then he quoted a promise in Genesis 28:15 that the Lord gave to
him. His life is now a testimony for Jesus because quitting was not an
option for him.
Many
of you feel as if you are at the breaking point. The tests and trials
have been relentless and seem so overwhelming, but Jesus, the Lord of
the breakthrough says; I see your struggles and I understand the
burdens, hardships and difficulties and even the verbal attacks that
have come against you. Trust in Me because no matter what the situation
looks like in the natural I will not let you fall, fail or be consumed
by adversity. My hand is upon you and I will complete that which I have
begun in your life.
Although
the storms may be raging all around you, the battle may be fierce and
the warfare may appear to be intensifying, do not panic but be still and
listen for My voice. I speak in the midst of the storms. Do not allow
anything to derail you from the leading of My Spirit. Many of you have
had sleepless nights worrying about situations in your life. Do
not allow the evil one to bring fear, condemnation, tormenting thoughts
and voices during the night. Many of you are concerned about your
future and some have physical issues that the doctors said were terminal
but nothing is impossible for those who believe.
Do not retreat, but continue to
pursue what I have placed in your heart to do. These storms shall
pass. Just as the wise man who obeyed My word were steadfast and
unaffected when the storms came, know that I will strengthen you as you
stand immovable and trust Me to bring you through. Do not bow to the
opposition or break under the pressure. Just as grapes are compressed in
the wine-press through a process of crushing, these times will bring
forth much fruit in your life as you endure, stay strong and stay
steadfast says the Lord.
Genesis 28:15
Behold, I am with you and will keep you
wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not
leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”
Proverbs 24:10
If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.
Ephesians 6:10 -13
Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put
on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the
heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may
be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
