"Have Relentless Faith As We Press Into the New Year!"
Hakeem Collins, Wilmington DE
Recently, I was in prayer concerning what the Body of Christ should do as we prepare for the new year and season approaching. I suddenly received a vision with my mind's eyes that was very prophetic in nature. The inner vision was a person crossing the finishing line in an Olympic track and field race. As I sought the Lord concerning this vision, I heard the Spirit of God whisper the word "Relentless!" God was showing me that He desires His people to have "relentless faith" as they press into the new year and finish strong. God doesn't just want His people to finish strong, but to start even stronger for 2019.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary the word "relentless" means "continuing without becoming weaker, less severe, and remaining strict or determined." So for something that is bad and that is relentless, it means that it never stops or never becomes less intense. The enemy is relentless in attacking the children of God, but as children of God we are called to be overcomers in Christ! We become relentless by determining to do something regardless of opposition and by refusing to give up!
As Bold as a Lion
The Bible says, "...the righteous are as bold as a lion" (Proverbs 28:1). The lion is the king of the jungle and the animal kingdom. He is not the biggest, heaviest, largest, fastest, smartest or most dangerous. What sets a lion apart from all others is not what I aforementioned. It is because a lion is bolder, fearless, hungry and relentless much more than other animals in the kingdom. A lion's attitude, position and heart demand respect. (Photo via Flickr)
A lion's heart and boldness make it king above all. Spiritually speaking, the lion's heart, mentality, posture and presence release fear in others while he walks around boldly, confidently and majestically. The lion's faith and boldness causes other animals to take notice of him. What has the enemy said or done to your faith that has caused you to walk in fear, intimidation or doubt? God wants to change your perspective and how you view yourself. God wants to instill in you a measure of faith to overcome unexpected warfare and opposition. God wants to give you a lion's heart to boldly come before the throne of grace, asking the King what you need Him to do on your behalf.
Crossing the Finish Line
As I shared, the vision God gave me was that of a person crossing the finishing line. I heard the Spirit of the Lord say to His people that He is going to grant unto them an... (continue reading)
