The Persistence Of The Saints


I believe we could possibly be in the greatest move of God in our time. And do you want to know the name of it? Of course you do, possibly the greatest move of God of all time! It’s called, “The Persistence Of The Saints!” No bells or whistles, just good old fashioned, dogged determination to carry on with the things of God in the face of these challenging times we are living in. Just come to the conclusion, “Come hell or high water, I am continually going to seek Your will Lord—Thy will be done— right here in my life!”

Hebrews 11:6
(KJV)
God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

It’s gonna take some hide off of our predisposed ideas of living in the lap of luxury, living the Good Life. What is life? Jesus mentioned this in His last prayer before being strung up as a common thug.

John 17:3
(KJV)
As You have given the Son power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is life eternal, that they might know You the ONLY TRUE GOD! and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent!

So what is, The Persistence Of The Saints? DON’T EVER GIVE UP your trust and faith in Jesus! These problems too will pass! Jesus has given us everything we need for the trouble that lies before us, He has given us everything we need for life, His life, the same kind of life He has—ZOE LIFE! The God kind of life, that which makes God—God! It has no ending! It never fails or falls down.

2 Peter 2:3-10
(KJV)
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
