The World According to Rita

By Rita Hassard

 

Results come from Perseverance… 

Luke 11:8 (AMP) I tell you, although he will not get up and supply him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his shameless persistence and insistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

I think what most of us don’t realize is that perseverance is the key to success in everything. I wonder how many times we give up just before success comes.  We have become a nation of getting everything fast.  We have fast food and instant everything.  

We don’t have to change God’s mind about anything.  His will is for us to be successful in all things (if it’s in His Word then it’s His will).  For people we pray for them to be saved, for healing of the sick, for success in our finances, and every thing God has blessed us with.

But we seem to give up just before our breakthrough.  You see God will not go against the will of any person. If you say, “I quit,” God can’t move on your behalf any more.  We need to stay in prayer and to watch the words of our mouth. If we speak God’s words and pray, no demon force can win against us.  

If you’re sitting around waiting for God to work on your behalf, quit sitting around and get busy praying and speaking God’s  Word.   

Phillippians 4:13 (AMP)  I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].

I would like to share a poem from Jill Wolf that was given to me. It lifts me up.

Don’t Quit

Don’t quit when the tide is lowest, For it’s just about to turn;

Don’t quit over doubts and questions,  For there’s something you may learn.

Don’t quit when the night is darkest, For it’s just a while ‘til dawn;

Don’t quit when you’ve run the farthest, For the race is almost won.

Don’t quit when the hill is steepest,  For your goal is almost nigh;

Don’t quit, for you’re not a failure Until you fail to try.

 

This is a wonderful thought, I hope you can keep this in mind when you are tempted to quit.

 

My name is Rita and this is my opinion
