6 Keys I Have Found to Endure and Overcome

I’ve found 6 keys to endure and overcome. We need to realize and never forget that:

• It’s always darkest before the dawn.
• The enemy always rages just before he’s about to be defeated.
• The Dragon always wants to kill the baby when it’s helpless.

Don’t think its peculiar that you need to endure to get the good. Here’s 6 Keys I’ve learned that will help you endure and overcome…

1. To endure fix Your Eyes on Jesus…

Hebrews 12:2 (New International Version)

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2. To endure use the Blood of the Lamb, Word of the Testimony, and don’t Love this Life so much that you’re afraid to die…

Revelation 12:11 (New Living Translation)

And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb
and by their testimony.
And they did not love their lives so much
that they were afraid to die.

3. To endure have patience and obedience…

Revelation 14:12 (New Living Translation)

This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.

4. Endure as a good solider…

2 Timothy 2:3 (New Living Translation)

Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

5. Endure as discipline…

Hebrews 12:7 (New International Version)

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

6. Endure with help from the prayers of others…

2 Corinthians 1:7-11 (New Living Translation)

We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us. We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.

Now there’s an important principle that I want you to understand in order to endure. We’ll look at it in the next post on this topic. I’d love to hear how you’ve learned to endure. Thank you for leaving your comments below.
