BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS (Part 3)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

And everyone assembled here will know that the Lord rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. This is the Lord ’s battle, and he will give you to us!” (1 Samuel 17:47 NLT)

The devil will throw anything at you to get your attention. He will use people who are stronger than you, or more powerful than you but what you should know is the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you the victory.
When you come against giants in your world, one thing you should know is God has put them under your feet. He has equipped you for every battle. There is something on the inside of you that satan and his demons can’t stand; your faith. Your faith can move every mountain and destroy the giants that come your way.

God wants you to be strong in the midst of any difficulty. The reason being that when you are strong, you are able to act on your faith. And you don’t allow fear to stop you from moving forward. Peter sank when allowed fear to overwhelm his heart.

“…Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink…” (Matthew 14:29, 30 NIV)

I don’t know what you are going through today but what I do know is God has a better future for you. You have to move forward to possess everything God has promised you in His word. Giants may be on the way to prevent you from taking what is yours but know that God has already given you the victory. Only be strong and courageous to move forward.

ARE YOU PREPARING YOUR FIELD?

He hath made everything beautiful in his time. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 KJV)

There is a set time for everything you need. It could be today, tomorrow, next week, or next year. It takes faith to trust in God’s timing. That is we must be ready to receive. This reminds me of what happened in the movie FACING THE GIANTS. Mr Bridge’s words motivated Coach Taylor to prepare his field against the Giants.

Mr. Bridges: Two farmers desperately needed rain. And both of them prayed for rain but only one of them went out and prepared his fields to receive it. Which one do you think trusted God to send the rain?

Coach Taylor: Well the one who prepared his fields for it.

Mr. Bridges: Which one are you? God will send the rain when He is ready. It’s your job to prepare your field to receive it.

God will do His part and I believe He is waiting for you to make room to receive.

I heard a story about a guy who needed a 32″ TV from his father. His father told him there was no space for the TV in his (the boy) room. The father traveled one weekend and when he returned, his son had given out his old TV and other things to create enough space for the 32″ TV. When his dad saw his faith, he bought the TV for him the following day.

God wants you to stay in faith. He wants you to prepare your field to receive. The farmer who prepared his field believed that God would send the rain. He didn’t have to wait for a sign. He believed that God was more than able to pour down rain. How about you? do you trust God will send rain? In Mark 11:24, Jesus said, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.“

God will open the windows of heaven for you. He will pour out a great blessing you won’t have enough room to take it in! Malachi 3:10. But the truth is you must be ready to receive. You have to prepare your field to receive His blessings.

Are you preparing your field?

God bless you!
