James 1:2-4(AMP) “Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.”
The word perseverance is defined as; steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, or a state of being especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
My beloved child I know that perseverance can drain you of your resources. Perseverance requires the totality of who I have created you to be; it requires your spirit, soul and body. Nevertheless, I am He who will never give you more than you can bear. I have made a way for you in every and all situations. You have all that you need for life and godliness. So this day I say to you, wear perseverance as a garment; in this season it must be your mantle. Make it your way of life, an integral part of your purpose and your daily consecration. Let perseverance be written on your hearts and imprinted on the fabric and foundation of your regenerated soul. Train yourself in the way of perseverance, put it into practice and surrender to its discipline. Go the way of steadfastness all the while being fully persuaded that by My power, wisdom and goodness you shall be upheld and by practice of patient endurance and unwavering perseverance you will inherit the promise. Beloved I am perfecting you in perseverance. So go forth now; be unyielding in your pursuit of your destiny. Be as bold as a lion, wise as a serpent, yet gentle as a dove. Look your adversary in the face and be persistent, tenacious and resolute. Continue in your steadfast belief in Me with great joy and thanksgiving. And grow and mature in your faithful efforts to fulfilling the assignment even while you withstand all discouragement and difficulty. I will not fail to watch over you and I will never leave you nor forsake you. I say to you, only persevere; take up your cross and follow Me for in this way I am fully pleased and wholly glorified and you are ever-increasingly strengthened and invigorated to run your race without weariness and fainting.
Hebrews 10:36 (AMP) "For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised."
