Jesus taught, "and the violent men take it by force." The violence of taking the Kingdom by force is not physical violence but rather focused earnestness, a deeply passionate pursuit of God that enables Christ's followers never to give up regardless of the conflicts and trials they face. Jesus’ teaching is very clear. When we do not immediately receive an answer to our prayers, or we face a prolonged delay, we must not allow ourselves to become weary or spiritually lazy and give up.

Each of us knows prayer works: we are saved because someone else prayed for us! Thus, looking at the miracle of our own conversion, we gain confidence in God's help to transform others.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." - Ephesians 1:3

Our heavenly Father gave us everything in Christ. Can we by grace, now give Him more of our lives so that others may come to know our beloved Jesus? Get ready! Your eyes shall see the glory of the Lord. Ask now for the latter rain. Ask now for the harvest! Ask now for the King to grant you favor to bear fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom.

"Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you…." Joel 2:23

Affirmations:

I confess that I am not moving from the calling for which I was predestined. I have made up my mind that I am not moving from the place where Jesus called me to give my heart!

I take off the limits as I enter the realm of the supernatural power of God.

Since Jesus is one with me, He can reach out through my hands and fulfill my Christ calling in the earth.
