MOVING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

[FAITH]

Stand firm and do not be moved!   As believers, we are rooted and grounded in His magnificent love.  Because Jesus overwhelms our heart with His love so that we can nourish the lives of others with it, we are established in His love and we can have a peace that passes natural understanding. And we have COURAGE, the depth of which is confidence in the Lord – we become a risk taker and get out of the boat and walk on the water.

"And that Christ will make His home in your hearts, through faith.  I pray that you will have your roots and foundations in love so that.....you will have the power to understand how broad and long and deep is Christ's love. " - Ephesians 3:17

And we have COURAGE, the depth of which is confidence in the Lord – we become a risk takers and get out of the boat and walk on the water.

This place of trust is beyond the natural ability of a person. It comes only through a relationship with the Lord, who will lead us and bring to pass all He has purposed for us (our CALLING in Christ). As we are directed by Him, we can also move out of the confines and limitations of what we have experienced in the past.

As believers, we declare that we, "Trust in the LORD with all [our] heart, and lean not on [our] own understanding; in all [our] ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct [our] paths." -  Proverbs 3:56

 

GOD-EMPOWERED BOLDNESS

 

This creates in us PERSEVERANCE THROUGH OUR FAITH as we hear and are led by Him. Holy perseverance is God-empowered boldness or courage that enables us deep within to persevere in advancing in His purpose for our life. 

One way we can define perseverance is simply to stay the course. This is a powerful blessing from the Lord that enables us to cross over and possess our land of promise and fruition. It is a work of the Holy Spirit within that enables us to have strength to stay the course, regardless of present circumstances or situations. This is what the prophet Isaiah wrote about:

"Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice." -  Isaiah 41:10 AMP

 

HERE IS THE INCREDIBLE ASSURANCE:

You can stay the course in the Kingdom elevating calling for your life He has given you because of the enabling of the strength of the Lord for you and in you!

Believe that the Holy Spirit will release an even greater strengthening deep within so that you will stand firm for the promises of the Lord for your destiny in Christ, bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom.   

As you lean into the Lord, you will go from strength to strength with deep courage to believe for the impossible to be possible thereby advancing God's Kingdom in the earth.
