Faithfulness is key to us fulfilling the call of God on our lives. It is being
able to continually abide in Him day by day that pleases the heart
of God. A life that is surrendered to the flow of God’s
Spirit is a life that will continually bear fruit to everlasting
life. It is in the times of temptation to draw back or stepping
forward into a new place of faith, these are defining moments.
At every point we have an opportunity to move into a deeper place
of faith and authority in the Lord. Faith moves forward, not in
presumption, but in obedience to the known will of God having
heard the promptings of the Spirit, the voice of God.
Endurance is for the long haul. It is not short-lived. But this
is what defines a true saint. A saint sets oneself apart to God
for His holy and noble purposes. It is abiding in the Vine. It
is living in the Presence of God, pressing in the realities of
His world. It is moving beyond the natural mind into the mind
of faith that believes without seeing – for blessed are
those who believe without having ever seen.
It is in the promises of God that we partake in the divine nature.
All of the promises are obtained through faith and patience. The
divine nature is the realities of the inner man, the born again
spirit, being born of heaven. It is when we breakthrough into
experiencing the promises of God that we move beyond just knowing
about them. But once promises are experienced they become a living
part of us. They become testimony. This is all part of walking
in the anointing of the Spirit.
Worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
As we enter into the intimate inner courts of worship the spirit
of prophecy is released upon us, in us and through us. It is in
this place that faith is birthed in our hearts as we are through
the spirit of prophecy receiving the words of the Lord. As these
words are released as revelation they have the potential to move
to the next level in activation, that is “testimony.”
Testimony happens when we take revelation received and put it
into action, the completeness of faith. Faith without works is
dead. Revelation without action is dead. But when these are combined
they produce life and a testimony that glorifies Jesus and allows
us to partake in the divine nature of Christ (the Anointed One)
and walk in the anointing. The anointing is the power that delivers
the word and creates a testimony that exalts Jesus
So it is faith and patience that enables us to receive the promises,
partake in the divine nature and experience the power of the anointing
that released a testimony to glorify God. So we have need of endurance!
Execute the will of God in your life. Cross over into the “promise
land” today.
