Power to Succeed Pt.2

The pressure that is attempting to mount upon you can have the effect of causing other weaknesses to appear. We established last week that every challenge in life is an opportunity! Even with all that’s going on around you, you alone will determine which it will be. Challenge or opportunity. Light always destroys darkness. The bigger the challenge; the bigger the opportunity. With God on your side, how can you lose?

Our foundation Scripture: Romans 8:28 – gives us the source of hope. We know that all things work together for our good. This power we’re talking about is hope. The enemy is crafty and knows faith is driven by hope; so if hope is eliminated, faith is nullified. You can’t hope too big for God. Your greatest expectation won’t exhaust God! Impossibilities are possibilities waiting to be shown.
Romans 5:5 – this hope doesn’t disappoint, nor will you come up short or be embarrassed. God provokes us to have hope by all His promises and result in those lives around us. How do you know God is on your side? God has deliberately chosen His loyalties.
Romans 8:31, 32 – God is on our side, not the other way around. Religion tells us we have to try to get on God’s side, but how can we who are finite approach an infinite God? He chose us. If you stay on His side, failure is not an option. When you don’t see a way out, ask yourself: am I born again? You receive Christ up front, at the very beginning.

Anticipate how God will deliver you. Your sight is critical. God is our helper, we have nothing to fear. We’re to cease from our own labor to enter into God’s rest (Hebrews 3, 4). God chose to do this for us. He gave Himself to us. If God is our help, then we’d better declare it!
Hebrews 6:13; Galatians 3:16, 17, 29 – God’s Word is to us because the promise was made to Abraham and his seed (Christ), and to us as His heirs! This guarantees it! God’s will is more abundant than your desperation. We are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus. Realize that you didn’t add anything to this game. We have a strong, warm, comforting confidence through our Covenant with God. He’s on your side. Knowing this, you now have to change the way you think.
