Goal ... Almost Obtained... Hang In There

Goal... Almost Obtained.. Hang In There

Does anyone, but a thief, own a precious jewel without a price being paid?

Here you are, growing in the Lord, and the enemy comes around and threatens you... threatens to destroy the precious pearl (be it a wonderful wife/husband, a ministry, a job... ect) before you even get started.  Just as the vision the Lord has given you begins to become a reality, boom,
there is..
an evil foresight and threat happens, telling you that if you go down that road, you are going to lose everything forever.

The threats are loud.  Loud enough for you to call upon the Lord and start telling Him that maybe you misunderstood Him and that you realize He has blessed you right where you are.. in other words, what you are saying is, "never mind Lord, I am fine where I am."

You know, I think everyone has this same kind of dart thrown at them from the enemy.  I just bet that this dart is his standard amo.  So, how are 'we' going to overcome this?  By faith... that is how.

First, this letter is being written to those who know and love the Lord, who have placed their lives into His hands, prayed for His blessings, and are standing firm with Him through all the trials of life.  You, we, are already seeing victories in our lives, thus this is even why we are beginning to believe that the pearl and treasure in our hearts just might be a reality and coming true.

Second, the way the Kingdom of God works is that when He prospers us, we in turn, prosper others.  So, as you can see, you got to stay strong and keep believing.  You, me, and many others must keep our faith high, keep our eyes on the mark, and continue to press on.  There must be a stronger level of trusting the Lord.

Do not begin to believe the lies of the devil.  Those darts are created to stumble you... just so he can whisper into your ears how you almost ... almost had it all.

Stand strong... resist the enemy.. believe God, believe your vision and walk on.

 And in time, if we are diligent and faithful, He  may even use us to instruct others to pursue excellence.  But first we must have excellence within  our own lives.
