Hebrews 12:3 – Consider [Jesus] that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Beloved it’s time to really start focusing because you’re in a time your very life may depend on you seeing what’s going on around you.
Not long ago, the Lord showed me that a spirit of weariness is trying to work its way into our lives these days through all the pressure and bad news that surround us.
It’s working to get our eyes off the Word of God by bombarding us with negative forces. It’s trying to get us to focus on defeat instead of focusing on Jesus.
Beloved, if you continue to stop focusing on Jesus, your spirit man/woman will begin to lose his/her dominion. And the Word tells us what the results of that is. It says you’ll “be wearied and faint in your minds.”
Jesus put it this way in Mark 4. He said that when the cares of this world enter into your heart and mind, they’ll choke the Word and cause it to become unfruitful. And since your faith is the product of the Word, that means your faith will wither. Once that happens, OH BOY- LOOK OUT!!! You’re headed for disaster.
Now someone out there may be asking: Bishop Houston, “What can I do to stop this chain reaction of weariness?”
WELL I’M GLAD YOU ASKED!!! 😀
Change your focus!!! Get focused on Jesus. Get your eyes back on Jesus. I remember when I played sports (football, basketball, baseball) one of the things you learn is to keep your head up and your eyes on the player or the ball. As a running back when I saw a tackler lower his head to tackle me or an opponent trying to guard me take their eyes off me, – I got him!!! He’s no longer dangerous. He can now be very easily defeated. So, you need to stay focused.
Keep considering Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith. Consider Him instead of the cares of this world. Consider what God says in His Word. Be moved by the thoughts of God. Let His thoughts become your thoughts.
Beloved, change Your Focus!!! Get your eyes off the circumstances around you and onto your heavenly source. Don’t be afraid you’re going to lose everything. God is your source, He has all your resources, not the world. He can take care of you regardless of what happens around you.
If you’ve gotten tired lately, begin to change your focus. Keep your eyes on the prize. God is in front of you. The crazy things that are happening on your job, in your family, in a relationship is the Devil trying to get your attention. Don’t let it!!! Stay focused on Jesus.
Have a blessed Tuesday Everyone. 😀
