Right under your nose 2
"It is written," and quoted Scriptures that met the
lies and deceptions of the devil head on.
We have a tendency to "try" this for a while, and then when we
do not see quick results we stop speaking the Word to our
problems and begin once again speaking our feelings, which is
probably what got us into trouble to begin with.
A stonecutter may strike a rock ninety-nine times with a hammer,
and there may be no evidence at all that the rock is cracking.
Then on the one hundredth time, it may split in half. Each blow
was weakening the stone even though there were no signs to
indicate it.
Persistence is a vital link to victory. We must know what we
believe and be determined to stick with it until we see results.
Obedience and Forgiveness Are as Important as Faith and
Persistence
For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for
in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is
granted to you, and you will [get it].
And whenever you stand praying, if you have
anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop
(leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in
heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and
shortcomings and let them drop.
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in
heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings.
Mark 11:24-26
