Tenacity

As Christians we must have tenacity. When we are trying to move forward in Christ, opposition will come. Stop blaming God and thinking if He really wanted me to do this, He would have prevented that from happening or if He desired for me to draw closer to Him, He would have stopped this diversion. We must realize where the source of the opposition truly comes from. God's not causing the hindrances or distractions, it's the enemy!! He desires to stifle your growth and cause you to retreat in fear. Stop agreeing with his lies! You are an overcomer and in Him you are strong and courageous!!

God is calling you closer and to come up higher. He is leading and drawing you into the path of your destiny. It's not the path of least resistance but it is the only way to fulfillment, peace, and effectiveness for His Kingdom. There's no more time to waste! You must persevere in the face of opposition and determine in your heart that no power from hell will keep you from drawing closer to God and fulfilling His plan for your life!! Unqualified! So what!? It's only by His anointing that you can do anything of worth for His Kingdom anyway! It's not about your qualifications but how you allow Him to work in and through you!

The only purpose the enemy has in your life is to be used to build your faith and trust in God as you defeat and overcome his tactics!! You must realize your power and authority over him and press forward into all that God has for you as you trample him under your feet! You can only win as you continue to move forward! Do not retreat! Your victory isn't behind you it's straight ahead on the other side of the mountain and by faith it will move! 

Matthew 17:20 (KJV) So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."

John 16:33 (KJV) "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Isaiah 50:7-9 (KJV) For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? Let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? Lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

Mark 11:22-24 (KJV) And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Joshua 1:9 (KJV) Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
