OVERCOMER

How many times have you heard those words? Never surrender! “Don’t give up” “Hang on Baby ” or as they said in the 70’s “Hang in there! Things will get better!” 

The truth is often they don’t (not just because we said they will) at least not in OUR timing. I have to remind myself at times Abraham waited a lot of years for that “one son” and he didn’t live to see the thousands of heirs he had (after his death) Or millions ……

In Genesis 22:17 The promise to him was his descendants would be more than the sands in the sea. That’s a lot of descendants! Then we have this keeper in Hebrews to think on: 

“Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise”  –Hebrews 10:35-36 NKJV

               The Will of God? What is that? Well it depends. For you it may be patience, perseverance-or doing one more thing, waiting one more day, Or just doing what God says when you do not FEEL LIKE IT anymore. I can tell you the will of God is to NOT draw back toward death. When you feel like giving up FIGHT HARDER! Get Mad (at the devil) and say “BACK OFF satan I belong to Jesus Christ! HE WILL DEFEND ME! amen!! 

Yes, we all get tempted to give up. Don’t let those ministers fool you! They can’t say it or we’d lose confidence IN THEM. Ministers of God cannot afford to show how scared they are or how frail they feel (very often) Or they would not be the rock or pillar of strength we need them to be. Somebody has to stand up like Moses and say “SEE TODAY HOW GOD DELIVERS THEE!” Someone has to say:

“Things are going to be just fine God is with us”  We Have to! (Why?) Because that’s what being a light truly means…..We can’t give up! We must fight! THERE HAS been Times I felt I could not go on anymore. One of my prayers at those times was this: 

“I can hardly go on Father I am overhwlemed right now. “I feel like giving up” and then I would say “but If all I have left is the strength to tell you with my mouth “I trust in you” That’s what I will do. I tell you Father I trust in you and satan I tell you GOD IS With Me” 

    Right now do what you can! Give it all you’ve got! Don’t give up! 

  Abraham Didn’t! He did not waiver he trusted God! And that’s all he had to do to secure the promise. -Never Give up Never surrender. It’s not over!

Funeral 20010003.jpg

The Funeral Service: When I was giving up………
So I gave it to God instead.

This is me about 16 years ago. i had been praying about some things for years at that point, and while yes God was always answering my prayers for love, fruitfulness, “things of Him”

I had some other things on the list and I remembered the sermons on dying to self, dying daily……’dead to sin” “alive to Christ.”

So I decided to have a funeral service, and go through the narrow door and say Okay Father “I want you” so I’m giving all this to you…..

If you want it to come true, “I trust you for it” and if it’s not good for me OH WELL!” I accept your Will. I made these little tombstones and gued them onto a piece of paper. Prayed, and had an actual funeral service for my dreams but I did say “I believe in your resurrection power!

Among the dreams I Laid to rest were a 12 string guitar, being used in Music in church (Which I have served in three churches now playing guitar and singing) having my own business, which has happened, writing books (which has happened) Owning a Jeep (I’ve had two) Owning my own house (we own two) PETS because My kids could never have them and I have dogs, they have dogs or in my daughters case Dogs and a Cat……

There were a few more I”ll have to look in my Journal but, I’m pretty sure every thing on that list has happened.

so If you can’t take it anymore (the pain of broken dreams) You can give it to God. Let him Know I”ve had Faith and I do but I will NOT give up on you!!! And yes my decision was based on the book of Job “even if you slay me, I trust you!!”
