We know that God is up to something because the opposition has increased. We’re on this journey together with our church family as we learn more about the lifestyle of victorious Believers.
Since we started this teaching, the spiritual warfare has intensified. We’re having a lot more restless and sleepless nights, but we always combat this kind of warfare with intercessory prayer. These guys have been pressing through the obstacles that have come up against them.
“First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,” Romans 1: 8-9a
Sometimes in this walk with God, we come to seasons where it feels like absolutely nothing is happening. It feels like we’re not moving forward, backward, up or down. It just seems like we’re in limbo. Rest assured that when it seems like you’re stuck, God is moving in ways that we cannot see.
I can recall times when we were moving or arranging furniture. We’d bring in a load of boxes and someone would move ahead of us to open doors and clear the passage in front of us. Sometimes that person would say, “Stop for a second, while I move this other junk out of the way.”
Even though, for a few seconds, we’re standing still, the overall picture is that we are still making progress. Perhaps you’re standing still and in a holding pattern right now. Even in a holding pattern, you’re not wasting time or losing ground. You’re just waiting while God moves a few things out of your path.
So we will continue to take one day at a time. Wait on the Lord. Stay connected in prayer.
We are overcomers, making progress.
