As Christians, we are in a war and the war never ends. Satan will consistently barrage us with strife, fear, illness, negative mental images of ourselves, imaginings of self-rejection thoughts, and much more.

The only way to win the war is to fight; constantly. We strengthen and grow our faith, as we read His word and believe what it says. Strive, battle, conquer, overcome - we shall have victory. How do I know? Because God says so, in His word. And God doesn't lie.

1 John:5-4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.

It’s hard to live in a place of poor, to no results. It’s hard to keep that faith, when we don’t see any change. A lack of change, a lack of positive results which carries on for years, makes it hard to stay in the fight and not give up. But what is faith, if it isn’t the hope of seeing what we don’t yet see?

Romans 8:24-25 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope, for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. 

You can’t go AWOL, when the battle is raging. You have to stick it out (persevere) to the end. How will you know when you’re reached the finish line? When you see what you’ve prayed for come to pass. If you’re not seeing it yet, you’re still in the battle. Your job is to keep fighting, to never give up until you have the victory, until you have what you’ve asked for.

And when you have what you’ve asked for, remember to give thanks to the great and mighty God. You kept the faith. You continued the fight. In doing so, the Lord brought you the winning result, because you didn’t give up. You were like the woman with the unjust judge. She kept pestering, until he gave her what she asked for, lest she wear him down.

Luke 18:3-5 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him (the judge), saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this woman troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’

Unlike the unjust judge, God is never wearied, however, keep asking, seeking, knocking and one day that door will open. Your dedication and perseverance to God, to His word and His promises, is what will open the door and bring those promises to pass in your life.

Just a little aside: I was listening to a minister who went to bible college. He mentioned, out of the 130 students in his class, only 3 were still preaching 30 years later.

There’s a lot who don’t make the distance, who don’t finish the race, who give up and quit. Don’t be one of them, because it’s only in finishing the race, that we receive the prize.

Believe God. Believe His word is truth and can be trusted. Don’t be swayed or moved. Trust in Him; the unshakable, immovable rock – the Great I Am – during the storms of your life and you will be victorious.
