Oh My people, you must settle it in your hearts that you will join with Me, and fight the good fight of faith, for without Me you can do nothing, but with Me all things are possible. Do not give up! Do not give in! Your Surrender must be to Me and not to the thwarts of the enemy. Do not bow to his demands with his self-made ordinances which are against My Will! He did that with Eve in the garden of Eden. Do not let him play with your minds. Rather consume your minds with My Promises and My Everlasting Love. Pay the price at any cost to surrender completely unto Me. Remember all others will fail you, but I will never fail you. Be a first class soldier of Jesus Christ in My Kingdom, and stand the test! Be ye holy, even as I am Holy. Be without compromise, and endeavor to please Me in all your ways. For soon this journey will be over, and as you remain faithful, you shall dwell with Me forever. Declare “As for me and my house we will serve The Lord!” For he that endures until the end shall be saved, says the Lord your God.

Listen to the Words of the Lord, and you will be saved! (2nd Chronicles 20:20.) Beloved, do not bow to Baal! Do not believe the lies of the wicked one, the fallen one.(Luke 10:17-20.) For the enemy desires to sift you as wheat (Luke 22:31-32), for we are living in the last days. (Revelation 12:11-12.) But rejoice saints, for soon we shall see Him, as God’s Word tells us in 1st John 3:1-3, “Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure.”
Count the cost. And you must learn to discipline yourself. Fasting is an excellent way to learn discipline and obedience unto God. You don’t hear much teaching on fasting and praying, but this will cause you to get so much closer to God. Also help one to break habits. See Isaiah 58, a chapter all about fasting. Fasting does not change God. Fasting changes you. (Malachi 3:6.) Learn to live a fasted life where you always go away from the table a little bit hungry. This way you can stay more sensitive to the Holy Spirit! Whereas when one overeats, as in a Thanksgiving dinner, one just wants to go to sleep! Also praying in the Spirit is not emphasized enough. Jude verses 20 & 21 tells us “But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Romans 8:26-27 tells us “Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we know not what we should pray for us we ought: but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Meaning inarticulate language). And He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the Will of God.” The Holy Spirit will pray perfect prayers through us, especially when we don’t know what to pray! Remember the highest prayer is when one prays from the heart, in all truth and love, 1 st Corinthians 13. The Holy Spirit will only pray the Word of God! So take scriptures that associate with your situation or problem, personalizing it and praying it unto your Heavenly Father in Jesus’ Name. Remember to be thankful unto Him… before and after praying, as Jesus showed us in the Lord’s Prayer, only enlarge on it, worshipping Him and thanking Him, which will build up your faith. And not being weak in faith, Abraham did not even consider his own body that was practically dead, when he was about a hundred years old! And neither did he consider the deadness of his wife Sarah’s womb! Abraham did not stagger at the promise of God through any unbelief, but he was strong in faith, giving glory to God! That was the key! Giving God glory increased his faith! (Romans 4:19-20). Also remember when ever you feel a weight inside of you, yet nothing is wrong as far as you can tell.. This means that you need to go into prayer until that weight is lifted off from you, and you have prayed through! Declare the Word of God over yourself and fight the good fight of faith! Declare “I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!” (2nd Corinthians 5:21). Declare “No weapon formed against me shall prosper!” (Isaiah 54:17). Remember in order for God to hear your prayers, you must forgive others or else… Not only will God not forgive you, but then His Ears are shut to your prayers!! See Mark 11:25-26! Know that the tests and trials that you are going through now, these are preparing you for what is up ahead! 1st Peter 1:6-7 tells us “Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.” Also remember that God tells us in Revelation 3 :15-22″ I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would that you were cold or hot. So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of my mouth. Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. I counsel (advise) you to buy of me gold tried in the fire (test and trials), that you may be rich, and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear My Voice, and open the door, I will come in, to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in My Throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His Throne. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches. “Jesus said in Matthew 24:13 “but he that endures to the end, the same shall be saved.”
Some years ago, after receiving the Holy Ghost on May 6th, 1982, I knew I had to stay in a home with a person who was hit with such depression, that I knew I could not go out to a special church meeting, which saddened me. All of a sudden I heard this song in my spirit “I’m going to sing and shout it for Jesus knows all about it!” This was my first song I received from God by the Holy Spirit. This song also ministered to a woman going through a divorce would sing it to encourage herself. As well a child whose parents were going through a divorce, also comforted himself by singing this song, for it comforted him. After speaking about the hardships happening in the world today, this song came into my spirit. Remember when you get a hymn in your spirit, sing it out unto the Lord! In closing let’s look at Hebrews 10:32-39.. “But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions; Partly while you were made an object of ridicule both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while you became companions with them who also were misused in that way. And you had compassion on me in my bonds, and you took joyfully the spoiling of your property, knowing in yourselves that you have in Heaven a better and a permanent substance. So do not cast away your fearless confidence, which has a great promise of reward. For you need to have patience, persistence, that after you have done the Will of God, you might receive the promise… for yet a little while, and He that shall come, will come and will not tarry! Now the just shall live by faith. But if any man draw back, My Soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition, but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”
