21 Days Of Powerful BreakthroughsSample

Standing up to adversities

How will you react when difficulties come your way? Will you begin fearing what man can do or will you look at your adversary straight in the eye and stand on God's Word? Read Psalm 56:3-4. It reminds us that we have to trust God no matter how it looks and fear nothing or no one.

Rejoice
“Rejoice in the Lord always, and again, I will say, rejoice” (Philippians 4:4 KJV)! The Word tells us to rejoice no matter what. Of course you are not rejoicing because you are facing a trial, but simply rejoicing because God is in control and He promises He will do what He says He will do. "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But, let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:2-4 NKJV). So count it all joy because God is up to something!

His words are true
Read Ezekiel 12:28 KJV. It reminds us, “There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God.” You too can rejoice knowing not only will God work on your behalf, but He also promises to do it speedily. He said on this day it is done! There is no reason to be concerned or worried, because God is in control. So on this day, stand up to your issues, and greet it with a smile because we know God promises to fight our battles on our behalf.

Reflection: Think on a time when God fought a battle on your behalf. How did you know it was God? Did it seem impossible initially? How did you feel after your victory?
