Stand!

When you start to grasp the truth of God's word and start to believe and walk in it there is going to be opposition. I remember when I first started listening to teaching from Andrew Wommack about healing, teaching that I had never heard before, teaching that I knew was the truth...I got ill! When I had revelation about having a sound mind and keeping my eyes fixed on Him, my mind started to worry about so many things and my thoughts were all over the place. I could say this about so many things and at the time I got confused because the Bible said one thing, but everything else said the opposite..so what was actually true?

Mark 4:15 says that as soon as you hear the word satan comes immediately to steal the word that was sown in our hearts. He doesn't want us to grow  in God. He will challenge everything and try and cause you to stumble. I have recently been teaching at the college and without exception, every subject I have taught on, I have immediately been challenged on for the next two or three days. James 1 says we should consider it pure joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience, but that patience will bring you to perfection or maturity, complete and lacking nothing.

The Word of God is Truth and everything written in it is true and life giving. It is the bread of life and when we believe it and mix it with faith it works. So when we get a revelation on something, hang on to it despite the opposition of the temptation to give up because it will produce fruit; it may take time (seed tiiiiiiiiiime and harvest) but if we stand in the strength of God, if we confess our faith, speak the Word out and don't change our mind on it we will see the end of all things and grow into what God has for us. No, it's not always easy but God says we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, greater is He that is in you than he who is int the world, and be of good courage for He has overcome the world.

We have victory through Christ, the battle is the Lord's and if we persevere, endure and make the joy of the Lord our strength we will see the goodness of the Lord manifest.
