If you stand up to this, it cannot stand up to you.  The winds may come, the attacks may come but you got this. It’s not easy to stand without support but you have support, you have God’s angels standing behind you, protecting you against every trick, every scheme and every assault.

 

Put this in your spirit: “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways” (Psalm 91:11).  They thought you didn’t have backup but what they didn’t know is that you have backup, front-up and side-up. You aren’t standing in your own strength, you’re standing in faith in God’s strength, in the strength of your future self, in the strength of your destiny.

 

It’s going to get rough at times, you’re going to feel like giving up, you’re going to get tired and emotions will try to talk you into counting yourself out but you will not sit down on you, you will not give in and you will not let what you see cancel what you believe (Isaiah 40:31).

 

You aren’t just standing for you.  You’re standing for the people who doubted you, you’re standing for the people who lost hope and need your testimony to believe again, to trust again and to find their way back again.  You’re standing because you didn’t just learn how to fight, you’ve been fighting all of your life.  You’ve been knocked down before and you know that if you stand up to it, it cannot stand up to you.

 

Pray for courage.  Some folks think that we don’t have a need to pray for our unbelief but they don’t know that when you go to new levels of faith, you need a new level of belief, a new level of trust.  This is not an old fight, this is a new fight and you don’t have to pretend with God (Mark 9:24). Pray for courage — “God, I’m standing for my blessing but the wind is strong and it’s taking everything I have to trust on this new level.  Thank you in advance for giving me the courage to trust you more, for giving me the ability to use more of my faith for more of your grace.”

 

When God is taking you higher, you have to stand taller, stronger and sometimes longer than you ever have before.  New wisdom comes from refusing to give up, learning how to stay in peace while walking in pieces, and surrendering our will to God’s will — on new levels.  Encourage yourself, speak life over your mission, refuse to let emotions cancel your devotion to standing. Remove people who add weight to your wait and who cannot support your greatness in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:10).  An enemy to your greatness is a friend to your weakness.

 

The bible said, “Hope will not disappoint you” (Romans 5:5).  No matter what emotions say, no matter what your doubters say, no matter what the devil says, no matter what it looks like and no matter how long you’ve been standing, you cannot lose a fight that you refuse to give up on.  

 

Keep standing, keep pushing, keep your heart filled with hope, keep your mind focused and keep worshiping. Pray, stand and fight with truth. This is the process in the promise, the valley before the victory, the push before your delivery.  Stand up to it, stay in peace, put wisdom in your work, and this giant will fall!

 

Share and be blessed.
