When Your Back Is Against The Wall

When you back is against the wall financially, spiritually, emotionally, or professionally -or all of the above, know that our God is able. No matter what, God can make a way. Our relationship with Him is the difference needed to turn night into day. Our Savior sent us the Holy Spirit to comfort us and reassure us that God is still on the throne and nothing can happen to us without His permission and if it is happens -we can handle it. If God believes we can handle it, then we can make it!

 ³¹What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31, King James Version)

Who can be against you? Keep pressing, keep praying, keep believing and keep fighting for that breakthrough. Remember what David said:

 ¹I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. (Psalm 40:1, King James Version)

 ¹⁵The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. (Psalm 34:15, King James Version)

Are you living right? If not, recommit yourself to God and as Jesus said "...take up your cross and follow Me". Stay in God's word and be encouraged that the God we serve is not slack.

 ⁹The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9, King James Version)

Did you see that? God is not slack concerning his promises. He's promised not to withhold any good thing to those who trust and obey Him. The bible says in Hebrew 11:6 that we must believe who God is and that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.

Don't give up. One day, your ship will come in. God will make a way for you. He cares about you and wants you to grow strong in Him.

Keep fighting:

Fight through the pain,
Fight through your tears,
Fight through your fears,
Fight when you're up,
Fight when you're down,
Fight!

Never give up; Let it be said that we refused to give up on our dreams and on our God.

Daniel 3:16-17 reads:

 ¹⁶Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

 ¹⁷If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

 ¹⁸But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. (Daniel 3:16-18, King James Version)

You see, even facing certain death, God's faithful servants did not give up.

Keep fighting. Come what may, God can, and I trust and believe for me and you, that God will do exceeding and abundantly beyond all the we could ever seek Him for or expect from Him.

Send God a text message today

I heard a statistic on NPR (National Public Radio) today that said teenagers send around 2200 text messages per month! This is staggering considering the time, effort, and concentration it takes to send just one text message for most adults.

How often do we pray? Do we pray 2200 times a month? 200 times per month? 20? My point? If we prayed to God more, just a fraction of the number of text messages generation 'Y' sends and receive, we'd be some powerful, spirit filled people!

It doesn't take much to pray. Pray in the morning, pray in the afternoon, pray in the evening, and pray at night. The more you pray, the closer you'll get to God and the more you'll experience Him and his guidance and favor. The less you pray to God, the more evil will tempt you and you will likely fall prey to it.

Seek God. He is faster than a text message and closer to you than air.
