PRESSING ON BY FAITH

Topic :  Pressing On By Faith

Text:   "If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength
is small" (Proverbs 24:10).

Some battles take longer to overcome than
others. It’s the ones that take longer to reach
victory that tempt you to give up in your stance
of faith. Just because a doubtful thought arises
in your mind does not mean you have fainted.
Many people in Scripture had momentary doubts
but still experienced the greatest miracles
because they pressed
on in faith. Mark 11:23 says that if you tell
mountains to be removed and don’t doubt in your
heart, it will happen. Doubtful thoughts are not
doubt from the heart. You can take control of
simple thoughts and redirect them back to the
Word of God where they can’t take root in your
heart. Just because you had a bad day or felt
discouraged in your faith does not mean you
have fainted. Doubt in your heart begins when
you start verbalizing fears and doubts to the
point where they form your mind-set. People
who faint always talk about it first and usually
quite often. Some even become resistant to
those who try to encourage them to hang in
there.
Don’t quit on the things you are praying for
today. Sure, it’s okay to go to God and reassess
your battle plan, but the key is stay in there with
the Lord and you will not faint.

PRAYER

Father, I will not faint on the things I am praying
for today. I refuse to give in to any doubtful
thought, and I tell my mind to focus on God’s
Word and His promises. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
