A WORD OF PRAYER AND ENCOURAGEMENT WHEN FACED WITH RESISTANCE.

A WORD OF PRAYER AND ENCOURAGEMENT WHEN FACED WITH RESISTANCE.  THERE WILL BE PRESSING, DIFFICULT TIMES IN OUR JOURNEY, AND THE TRANSITION TO THE NEXT PLACE OF THE FATHER'S DESIRE AND INTENTION FOR US. THEREFORE, WE MUST BE STEADFAST AND RESILIENT IN OUR FAITH AND DETERMINATION TO ENSURE THAT WE MAINTAIN OURSELVES IN OBEDIENCE TO THE WILL OF THE LORD.   WE MUST MAINTAIN THE ATMOSPHERE OF HOPE, COURAGE, AND WISDOM TO AVOID THE LIES OF THE ENEMY, DUE TO THE OBVIOUS NEEDS, TEMPTATIONS, AND RESISTANCE WE FACE FROM THE POWERS OF DARKNESS.  THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTENSE SENSE OF RUGGEDNESS OF FAITH IN GOD'S WORD, AND THE PRECISE FOCUS NEEDED IN THE PLACE OF PRAYER AND INTERCESSION, WILL KEEP US IN LINE WITH THE PROPHETIC GOAL OF HEAVEN. THE DEVIL USES ALL TYPES OF WAYS TO FRUSTRATE OUR FAITH AND WALK.  THE ENEMY OFTEN USES THINGS AND PEOPLE CLOSE TO US TO TRY TO DISCOURAGE OR EVEN DISTRACT US FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE SPIRIT. IT IS LEFT TO EACH OF US TO KNOW THE METHODS THE ENEMY USES, AND HOW TO STOP HIM.  MAINTAINING A STRONG SENSE OF COMMITMENT IN YOUR FAITH AND PRAYER IS A PROFOUND MEANS OF ADVANCING THE FATHER'S MANDATE, ESPECIALLY AT THIS END OF THE DAY.
