PERSEVERE II

Persevere – continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success: not give up, struggle on, be persistent, be determined, press on/ahead, stay with something, not take no for an answer, be tenacious, be patient, stand one’s ground, stand fast/firm, hold on, hold out, go the distance, stay the course, soldier on, hang on and hang in there.

In order for us to keep going (persevere) when we don’t feel like it (what’s the use; I want to throw in the towel and give up) we must first know who to go to and lean on, believe in and trust; who will give us the strength, courage and boldness to face each day with a smile (even though you are hurting so bad inside you could cry; and fear has/had a grip so tight on you that you could hardly function) and fight the battle with faith; confident that you will be victorious. Are you willing to first, accept Yashuah as your Lord and Saviour, knowing that there will be many trials and tribulations that comes with this walk? And that many a days you will walk alone (without man’s support; void of family and friends show of love and their help, yet overflowing with enemy’s attacks); but for us to be able to persevere we must accept Yashuah  and through him we will know that YAH will never allow you to go at it alone (Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, and the flames will not set you ablaze). His promise, of always being with us was true in biblical days and they are still true today (Joshua 1:5 No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you). (Hebrews 13:5 King 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me). There have been stronger more evildoers to come upon the earth against YAH’s people, in the past as there are in the present, but God has defeated them all and took the revenge on them that He so judged to be necessary. Deuteronomy 28:7 “The LORD shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you; they will come out against you one way and will flee before you seven ways). Take Pharaoh for instance, he was one of the most “powerful” persons in his day (really considered the most) so he thought, until YHWH got tired of his foolishness and destroyed him, his army and Egypt. (Deuteronomy 7:18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;)). One of the most important reason that we should continue to persevere in spite of all that is happening in the world today and don’t have to fret about all these uprisings, evil and contrary events that are happening, is the fact that YHWH has this (full control, no mistakes, overlooks, it’s Him allowing man to have his free will; a joke on man’s selfish, greedy, disobedient, smug, rebellious and self-centered religious self). Because all of this, as heinous and wicked as it may be, must happen for Yashuah to return and make it good enough for YHWH to accept us for eternity.  The wonderful and awesome thing about this is the fact that all that will ever be necessary to make things righteous and bring it back to pure perfection, has already been done. Yes, by Yashuah (His birth, death, and rising). Now all we must do is LOVE, persevere, keep our faith and with Yashuah’s help push through the problems and pains. And with the hope, surrounding us, do our part and be the best we can be; give Him the honor and glory for being our Lord and Saviour; Continue to pray for our self and one another. God’s got it no worry no fear.
