THE HARDEST PART OF FAITH !!!                                  

                                                                

 --Gary Wilkerson                                               

                                                                

                                                                

 When I was a boy my father taught me one of the best            

 faith-lessons I have ever                                      

 learned. “Son, the hardest part of faith is always the last    

 half hour. When                                           

 you feel like giving up; when you feel that your life is off   

 track; when you                                             

 don’t hear from God anymore, just hold on — because the last   

 half hour is                                                   

 the hardest part of faith.”                                     

                                                                

 Have you ever driven on a long journey? You go hundreds of     

 miles and the trip                                             

 is going just fine. Finally you see a sign that says your      

 destination is just                                            

 30 miles down the road. That last 30 miles can seem almost as  

 long as the 500                                                

 miles you have just traveled. The last half hour of a journey  

 is sometimes the                                               

 hardest because you’re almost there and you have to hold on    

 just a little                                                  

 longer.                                                         

                                                                

 “For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the

 will of God                                                    

 you may receive what is promised” (Hebrews 10:36, ESV).        

                                                                

 I know some of you feel like giving up but I want to encourage 

 you to hold on                                                  

 just a little longer. You feel like the dream is not going to  

 come to reality                                                

 but God is saying to you, “Just hold on, child. Hold on,       

 church. Hold on a                                               

 few more minutes. Hold on a few more weeks — because your      

 victory is just                                                

 around the corner!”                                            

                                                                 

 I cannot tell you how many people I have met who had a word    

 from God but the                                               

 answer was slow in coming, they abandoned hope and now are     

 living a life of                                                

 mediocrity. If they had held on just a little longer, all the  

 things God had                                                 

 spoken would have come true. But they have withdrawn from      

 faith; withdrawn from                                           

 valor; withdrawn from vision and purpose. They are living a    

 life of quiet                                                  

 desperation because they no longer trust God or believe Him for

 great things.                                                   

 They are moving in their own strength without the power of God.

                                                                

 Do not give up hope. God is saving the best for last!
