PRESS FORWARD


Dear One,
Diligence is one of the greatest virtues a person can have because diligence supplies the energy behind any means of defeating negative personal characteristics.
The devil loves to get you depressed, confused, angry or sick so that you won't be diligent in prayer, in work, in physical exercises, etc. If he can get you down, then he can bring all of his demons into your life to condemn you, to create strife, to rob you of energy, to rob you of your joy and to rob you of your faith. Then you become self-conscious, always being concerned about self interests. He loves to turn you inward in your mind toward your own feelings rather than your being turned inward toward My presence in you in your spirit.
Diligence is setting your face and all of your being toward the task ahead of you and doing it with excellence. When that task is completed, then guilt has no power, confusion has no power, condemnation has no power and self-consciousness has no power.
When you are diligent, then you are industriously persevering, completely devoted and unrelenting toward a goal.
The Apostle Paul said, "Forgetting all that is behind and pressing forward toward the high calling of Christ." Remember that Jesus came to earth to defeat the works of the devil. You must strive toward that high calling, to defeat every form of evil that comes against you in life, whether it be depression, dissension, strife, laziness, anger, confusion, doubt or any other thing that defeats you.
I gave you the power to defeat every negative thing. Use My power and be diligent in using it. Remember, I'm with you all the way.
Love, God
Philippians 3:13 & 14; I John 3:8;
