"It's Not Over Till It's Over"

Dear Friend;

No matter how long you and I have been living by faith, no matter how much we've learned about it, every once in a while we may suffer a setback. We may run into some circumstances that just don't turn out the way we expected.

If that happens, remember this: Those setbacks are just temporary. We may have lost a battle, but we are not going to lose the war. Just get up and go at it again.

But I don't understand it, you say. I did the best I could. I walked in all the truth I knew to walk in. Why didn't I get the victory?

Because there was something you didn't know! It shouldn't shock you too much that there are things you and I don't know about the realm of the spirit. So, when we get to a situation where we can't seem to get victory, we have to ask God for more wisdom. If you'll look in 2 Samuel 21, you can see a time when King David had to do that. His country had been suffering from a famine for three years and David just didn't understand it, so he inquired of the Lord. The Lord told him the famine had come because of something Saul had done! Isn't that amazing? Saul had been dead for years, yet what he'd put in motion in the realm of the spirit was still affecting his country.

David could have just given up when his usual confessions of faith and ways of praying didn't drive out that famine, but he didn't. He inquired of God for more wisdom. He used his temporary setback to cause him to seek more knowledge from God.

Follow his example! Overcome the habit of quitting because of temporary setbacks. Refuse to let them knock you out of the game. After all, this thing is not over till it's over and it's not over yet. And the Bible says when it's all over, we will have won. So let us be steadfast in our faith. In the end our victory is guaranteed. PRAISE THE LORD!

Have a Jesus blessed Week
