Don’t Give Up… Sometimes it takes persistence

God is FAITHFUL!  I was having pain in my sciatica when Bonnie came over to my house. At first, I just tried to hide it, but it was literally so sore it hurt to sit down.

After Bonnie and I shared for a while, I told her about my pain.  We started praying and speaking to the pain, but it was still there. We prayed again… still there. Finally, we prayed for a third time. It was better, but not totally gone. 

Sometimes I think God requires for us to stand and not to give up (exercise our authority).  After Bonnie left, I kept speaking to my pain and kept cursing it at the root. The next morning, it was still there but it was better. I kept praising God for my healing and did not think about it or complain about it. By the afternoon, it was totally gone! PRAISE GOD!  I am learning that what comes out of my mouth is sooo important.  Thanking God in all things and giving Him all the praise along with speaking to my problems and symptoms is key in exercising our authority as Believers.

Thank you, Bonnie, for being such an encourager by helping me in renewing my mindset!!

Mark 11:22-24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Luke 10:10 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
