Pressure
John 16:33
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world.
KJV
We know that Jesus over came the world and we dwell in Him as overcomers. Yet there is still pressure that we must deal with in
this world on this cursed earth. Pressure is not applied by God, not in heaven do we have pressure but in this world. Pressure
is a result of the devices of satan of which we are not ignorant of. Pressure is not a lack of faith, love, disobedience to God, or
being out of the will of God, moreover it is because of the fact that we are walking in love, in the spirit, in faith and are in the will
of God that pressure comes.
Pressure comes to push us out of the will of God, out of our love walk, out of our faith, out of our healing, out of every promise
God has given and pressure can push us out if we let it.
Pressure can come through mental stress, physical fatigue, financial problems. Pressure can come through any of satans
devices. We can't stop it from coming. Jesus promised it would come but we can stop it from pushing us out of the peace and
blessings of God by pushing back!
By standing on and declaring the promises of God. Paul demonstrated this in
Acts 20:22-24
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the
ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
KJV
When we push back with the promises or word of God it releases the pressure. You may have to push back on a frequent basis
util you convince satan you are not going to live under his pressure and don't quit pushing till the pressure is relieved.
Push back with the joy of the Lord. In the midst of the pressure just start rejoicing and the strength of God will come on you and
the pressure will be relieved. Jesus said for the joy that was set before him he endured the cross and despised the shame. My
friend he was under some pressure but the joy of the Lord relieved that pressure and Jesus won the victory and is now seated
in heaven. Praise The Lord!
If your under pressure from a long ordeal of physical attacks, rise and go pray for someone who is sick and reverse the
pressure. If the pressure is in your finances, give a little more and reverse the pressure. Don't just sit there and do nothing
arise and do something based on the word of God and push back. If you do nothing the pressure will destroy you but if you do
the word of God you will rise in the strength of that word and over come that pressure.
Think on the word of God and relieve the mental pressure. Reverse satans pressure. Push back and don't quit pushing till your
relief is manifest. The Apostle Paul faced pressure every day and every day he pushed back until he said "... I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith!" Keep pushing back until you have finished your course or satan will use your course to finish you.
