Authority and Perseverance
Our assurances rest upon God's promises. Standing on His promises is what will sustain you through the storms of life. It is easy to grow weary when we lose focus on God and magnify the issues in our lives. However, we must see the issues in our lives as opportunities to learn how to pray and use our authority against the mental warfare the enemy tries to distract us with.
In the process of sanctification, you are always being prepared and trained for the battle ahead. Through this training, the Holy Spirit teaches us persistence and endurance. Remember - We even take pride in our problems, because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope. Romans 5:3-5.
