We are walking in today:  Don't Give Up!

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 8) We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; (AMP) 8) We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair; 9) We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed.  It is time to show what you are made of, fiveamprayer!  That is why God gave us the word, never say never!  That is shall come to pass!  It is time to show what we are made of in 2012!  This is the year that He can show us better than tell us!  Don't give up now!  Hear the call for endurance of the saints!  Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.  We all long for rest in this battle. That is a God given longing that He promised to fulfill.  Jeremiah 31:25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.  Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you restIn this season, it is not complete rest, in this time, Jesus grants us the gospel rest of ceasing the impossible labor of self atonement for our sins.  2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.  In embracing the gospel we find in ourselves, also drafted into a war.  A war that keeps believing the gospel and a war to spread to others!  This time we strive to enter that complete rest of this age.  Hebrews 4:11(AMP) Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest [of God, to know and experience it for ourselves], that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience [into which those in the wilderness fell].  We are going to get some scriptures to walk in this new place!  That is how we will be able to walk it out, standing on God's word!  Wars can be exhausting, especially long ones.  That is why you are often tired.  Most soldiers who experience the fierceness of combat want to get out of it.  That is why you feel urges to escape, like that time that you are tempted to give up.  Don't give up!  No, rather take courage!  Do not let your hands be weak!  Nehemiah 2:18 (AMP) Then I told them of the hand of my God which was upon me for good, and also the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, Let us rise up and build! So they strengthened their hands for the good work.  2 Chronicles 15:7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.  Don't give up!  When that familiar sin that is crouching at your door after all these years, comes to pounce on you with temptation, don't give up!  1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.  Don't give up when you feel that deep, soul weariness from the long battle with persistence and weakness.  2 Corinthians 12:8-9 (AMP) 8) Three times I called upon the Lord and besought [Him] about this and begged that it might depart from me; 9) But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!  Don't give up!  When the devil sends fiery darts of doubt, which land and make you reel.  Ephesians 6:13-16 13) Wherefore take unto you the whole amour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.  Don't give up under the pressure.  2 Corinthians 6:4-5 (AMP) 4) But we commend ourselves in every way as [true] servants of God: through great endurance, in tribulation and suffering, in hardships and privations, in sore straits and calamities, 5) In beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless watching, hunger.  Don't give up when that field that God has assigned to you is hard and the harvest does not look promising.  Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  Don't give up, when you feel that it doesn't matter.  Matthew 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.  Don't give up when your reputation is damaged, while you have been trying to be faithful to Jesus.  Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.  Don't give up in the wait.  You have gotta wait on the Lord!  Isaiah 40:30-31 30) Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31) But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.  Don't give up when you fall in sin. Don't waddle around in it.  Get up and back into the fight!  Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.  1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  You have gotta get this one!  This is the reason why the enemy is throwing all of this stuff at you!  Why we are not to say never!  It shall come to pass!  We. Are. Not. Gonna. Give. Up!  Jesus knows our work!  Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.  He understands the war.  Hebrews 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.  Fiveamprayer, stay in the fight!  1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.  Finish the race, run on to see what the end will be.  2 Timothy 4:7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.  By endurance you will give your lives.  Luke 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.  Don't give up!  There are a lot of scriptures that were given out today.  Take time out to look them up for yourself during your weekend meditation.  Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 
Don't give up!  Greater is He that in with in us, than he that is within this world!  Don't give up, His strength is made perfect in our weakness!  Don't give up!  Battle is not ours, it is the Lord's. Stand still and know that He is God!  Get up this morning and give Him praise and glory!  Do not back down nor turn around!  Never say never.  It shall come to pass.  Don't give up!  Not in your marriage, He is the God of reconciliation!  Not with you children, He brings us out of darkness into His marvelous light!  Not with your finances, He is Jehovah Jireh, He provides for all of our needs according to His riches in glory!  Not in your ministry, He is a rewarder to those that diligently seek Him!  Don't give up in this fight!  Put on the breastplate of righteousness, take up the shield of faith, tell God that you won't give up!  That I will do what ever You tell me to do.  Not backing down, you may bend but you won't break!  No weapon formed against you shall ever prosper!  Be transformed and have a renewed mind.  Don't give up, you have come too far!  We won't stop and can't give up now!  With all of the hell that you have been through, get up and fight!  You are a solider in the army of the Lord!  Don't give up!  The enemy wants you to give up, he knows that you are very close to your breakthrough.  The enemy wants to sift us as wheat.  Don't give up!  The devil is as a roaming lion, seeking who he may devour.  When times get hard he says,  they will give up and try to be their own gods--we know that the devil is a liar!  Don't give up!  Your breakthrough is right now!  We know that it is darkest before the daybreak.  You are right at the edge of your promised land.  Your blessing and harvest is now, the devil is throwing everything at you.  Don't give up, nor go back to the familiar.  Walk in this hard place.  Walk this out and trust God.  It shall come to pass.   That is why we must not say never!  Don't give up!  He has been so good to us!  Fiveamprayer we won't give up!  He has been so good to us, He gets gooder and gooder!  His word does not return void, but does all that He sent it to do!  We can't give up now--His word is true and is an anchor for our souls.  Tell God, yes Lord!  No matter what it looks like or feels like.  He is a rewarder of those that seek Him!  Be persistent and keep pushing.  Don't give up!  We give ourselves away unto You, Lord.  We will walk in Your word.  We have been given dominion, the power of life and death is in our tongues.  We stand on Your word.  With all of these scriptures that You have given us on this line, so many on not giving up.  The battle is not ours but the Lord's. Thank You Father!  We won't give up!  If we had 10,000 tongues we could not thank You enough!  Thank You for bringing us more and more of Your word.  Thank You God for never failing us!  You are always right on time!  We will stand on Your word, no matter how it looks or how long it takes.  Hold on to Your faith, the enemy wants you to quit and give up.  We must endure until the end!  Bear the cross and endure!  We raise up our hands to You, Lord, one without wrath the other without doubt.  You are with us--we will not give up!  We are holding on to Your unchanging hand.  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown.  Thank You Lord for reminding us that we must not be in complaint or murmuring.  We come to repent from wanting to give up, to go and sit in the corner.  Thank You for strengthening us Lord! 

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  We will not give up!

Welcome to the overflow...

Stand on His word.  His grace is sufficient. We know that greater is He that is with in us than he that is with in this world.  Thank You Lord for letting us know that we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us!  Your will be done!  We say yes to Your way!  Hallelujah God!  We have been running for Jesus for a long time and we are not tired yet!  Keep on praising Him!  Keep giving Him glory!  Keep praying to the Lord!  Thank You Lord!  We are crucified with Christ.  Your will be done!  Keep telling yourself that you will not give up!  We will show what we are made of!  That we rebuke the enemy and stay on the path that God has placed us on.  Proverbs 3:5-6 5) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Don't give up--because of the word is on the inside and the Holy Spirit, it is not about you, it is all about God!  That is why you don't give up!  Stop worrying about what others have to say or what they think.  They can't send you to heaven or hell!  You are to do the will of God!  You will loose some friends in this walk, everybody can't go with you!  He has been telling us this for months.  Trust God and don't second guess Him!  Walk this out in obedience, it is better than sacrifice.  Just submit to His will and His way.  Walk this out in obedience and joy, if you drag your feet in complaint and murmuring you will delay the process.  It will make things take longer.  You will do what God has for you to do, you may be the one that will cause you to have to go about it the long way, another trip around the mountain.  Give Him glory and praise!  Deny yourself!  Don't go about this your way, look how far it has gotten you!  Let go and let God take over and rule as it was originally planned by our Creator!  Thank You Lord, for sending us Your on time word.  That comes to truly set us free from the trappings of this world.  Thank You God!  Praise Your name!  We die to the flesh daily!  Amen!
