The Prophetic Word – Day 59 thru 64: perseverance

The Prophetic Word

Day 59: We must not let go of Him.

In preparation for our discussion over the next five days, please carefully read and meditate on the following scriptures:

“So Jacob was left alone, and a Man [came and] wrestled with him until daybreak. When the Man saw that He had not prevailed against Jacob, He touched his hip joint; and Jacob’s hip was dislocated as he wrestled with Him. Then He said, “Let Me go, for day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let You go unless You declare a blessing on me.” So He asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” And He said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.””

Genesis 32:24-28 AMP

“Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and he took them. And Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground,” and he struck it three times and stopped. So the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck down Aram until you had destroyed it. But now you shall strike Aram only three times.””

2 Kings 13:18-19 AMP

“Because lawlessness is increased, the love of most people will grow cold. But the one who endures and bears up [under suffering] to the end will be saved.”

Matthew 24:12-13 AMP

“Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says! And will not [our just] God defend and avenge His elect [His chosen ones] who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay [in providing justice] on their behalf? I tell you that He will defend and avenge them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [this kind of persistent] faith on the earth?””

Luke 18:6-8 AMP

We are living in the Last Days before the coming of Jesus Christ. As such, there is pressure all around to waver from our faith in Jesus Christ.

Now, make no mistake, this pressure will not relent; but—by the grace of God—neither will we!

What does the Bible have to say about the need to have persistent, enduring faith?

We will begin our investigation into this tomorrow.
