Watch & Endure
2 Timothy 4:5

Pay attention, go through what you’ve got to go through, evangelize and fulfill what God has called you to do.  There are things we need to do first before we fulfill what God has called us to do.  There is groundwork to be laid and foundations to be built.  We would love to go out and enjoy the fruit of our labors but first there is the labor.  There is the field to plant.

As we persist during the difficult times we will get through those times.  The goal is not for us to suffer all kinds of hardship to the point of it paralyzing us from doing what we’re called to do.  It’s not to see how much we can suffer and still barely hang on.  It’s to be able to hold up during those tough times and not give up and get through to the victory so we can evangelize and fulfill our call.  It’s to advance the Kingdom of God in the earth.

Confession:

I will be sober in everything, endure hardship, evangelize and fulfill my ministry. I will persist in going forward to do all God has called me to do.
