Your faith is your victory

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all."   

Psalm 34:19

Do you know that all the things that happened to Job in the Bible took place within six months? Those long standing challenges we read about in the Bible all lasted for six months. And at the end of six months, he came out of them all.

Many years ago, I used to think that the time it took to solve a problem showed how difficult that problem was. But God corrected my thinking and said, "The time it takes to solve a problem is dependent on your faith." So the duration of the problem is dependent on your faith and not how difficult the problem is.

Jesus raised Lazarus who had been dead for four days in one moment. Why? It was His faith. He did not need to pray for six hours and after six hours, declare that Lazarus should rise up. So if it took someone else six hours of praying to produce results, it just means that it took that long for his faith to be activated to release a rhema to produce results.

Not spending time in the Word of God will not only delay the growth of your faith, but it will also delay your effectiveness and ability to produce results by the Word of God.

So, instead of complaining and wondering why that problem or challenge is still lingering, keep building your faith on the Word of God, for your faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

Confession.

I am born of God and according to the scriptures, whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world, even my faith. Therefore, I declare that I have overcome this world because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.

Doing the Word.

Always maintain your faith in difficulty. Speak to the situation. Say what you want to see.
