CONTEND FOR THE PROMISES

Writer's picture: Bev CooperBev Cooper

In this day and age in My church, there is biblical illiteracy. My people have set aside their first love--Me. I am the Word of life. In Me you live and move and have your being. In Me you have all things necessary for life and godliness. I have provided a way for you to walk in the promises of God.


Yes, there is suffering, but that doesn't mean the promises are not for you. There is a war going on in the heavenlies. You must contend for the promises! Do not believe the lies of the enemy that My promises are impossible to attain. The Kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. It is time to learn how to walk in Kingdom authority, but this requires walking in holiness and complete obedience. You must be utterly abandoned to Me and My ways. It is a daily process.


You are tested in the small things, and as you pass these tests, more will be given to you. You do not hand a small child something they can not handle appropriately, but wait until they have matured to that level where they can be trusted. Be patient with the process for you are still in training.


Jude 3 New International Version (NIV)

3 Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.


Matthew 11:12 Modern English Version (MEV)

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has forcefully advanced, and the strong take it by force.


Revelation 12:7-8 English Standard Version (ESV)

7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
