Victory is certain but sometimes it needs to be actioned!.
How are you going to mature, walk-in authority and know if the anointing upon your life works if at every problem you are running to the pastor for prayer it is not bad but sometimes you’ve got to rise up!!
Let those issues gain you stamina and territory.
Ask Barak the son of Abinoam. Deborah said to him ” “The LORD, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead them up to Mount Tabor. 7I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.'”but his answer was“If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go!”
God had already given him victory all he had to do is engage in the activity of fighting but fear, and maybe not being certain in the ability of God’s word and promise caused him to ask for the extra help he probably didn’t need.
We’ve got to be steadfast and trust in the power of God rather than what a person can do for us. I know there are people who are anointed and have gifts that can help us. However, some of these activities ie prayer, faith, fasting, actually actioning something, reading the word etc actually help you to discover what God put in you and strengthen it. If Barak had not been fearful l believe trust in God would have increased, and he would have seen what God could do with him. The next battle that would come he could have gone through it without hesitation.
It might be difficult sometimes, or we may lack knowledge in the areas we ask others to stand with us. However, we can learn. Barak wanted Deborah to go with him, he didn’t mature. Sometimes the person we are always asking for help from continues to gain territory while we remain the same because we just won’t arise. The victory was given to them, yes, but through someone else yet in the beginning it was Baraks.
What areas in your life are you giving to other people to deal with.? If you are continuing to see a recurring problem maybe God wants you to mature and take territory in that department.
