The Lord is speaking words of comfort to you that your warfare is accomplished and your sins are pardoned (Isaiah 40:2).

This does not mean that the enemy will not continue to attack you. The devil will fight against you, but he will not prevail because the Lord is with you. 

Additionally, the Lord is reinforcing you like a fortified city and an iron pillar.

For behold, I have made you this day a fortified city and an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land— against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.” (Jeremiah 1:18-19)

The endurance race

Your warfare is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12).

Hence, your weapons for this war are not carnal but mighty through God to tear down strongholds and false teachings; and to destroy every proud obstacles that come against the knowledge of God and capturing your thoughts to ensure that they obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

Your walk with God is a daily affair. It is not a race that you can to accomplish in a day.

When you compete in a race, you want to win. Usually it is the fastest person who will win.

But in this race of life, you will win with endurance, not with speed nor strength.

I returned and saw under the sun that— The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all. (Proverbs 9:11NKJV)

I pray that you will run this race with patience until you reach the finishing line.

May God bless you.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
