Don’t Give Up Though It Gets Hard

 I know many of us come to a point in our lives where we question whether we should keep walking this road with God or just give up. It often feels like following God makes no sense, because, why do you have to fight so hard to obtain what the bible says is already yours? The truth is many of us that grew up hearing about God, never truly got the full details of the true God of the bible. We grow up thinking that he is a genie, that anything we speak will just happen. Though that is possible, you have to also remember that scripture tells us “we wrestle not against flesh and Blood” 

When the enemy sees what God is doing in you or getting ready to do, he starts to launch attacks and when you are unaware of the hidden covenants you have made with him, it makes his attacks easier. 

So before you throw in the towel, know that often times its not that you’re in a season of long suffering but it's the fact that you have open doors in your life that is allowing the enemy legal access in stealing your blessings. 

Mark 3:27 "No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house". 

That passage lets us know that in order for the enemy to be able to steal from you, he has to first bind you and that can come in many different ways, ignorance to the spiritual aspect of your life is number one. If you want to take back what the devil has stolen you first have to bind him and close all doors, so he is no longer able to plunder your house (steal your blessings). 

It’s not going to be easy, it’s going to require you to be committed and focused on your target but don’t be dismayed because God is the one that goes before you. He is building you up to be a soldier for his kingdom and it’s not only for his glory; you will also reap the fruit of your labor. 

It may look easier to remain in the world or go back into the world and get ahead how you may see fit but remember that is what the enemy wants because then you won’t be under God’s divine protection and he is able to regain control of your life.

 Don’t give up hope, God is not a liar and remind yourself of the reason why you first decided to follow God and let that be your thesis.
