Keep Believing: A Challenge to Never Quit

Keep Believing: A Challenge to Never Quit

Believing in the promises of God is not always easy, especially when the journey feels long, the answers seem delayed, and the obstacles keep piling up. And what if there is physical or emotional suffering or extreme pain? These challenges can feel unbearable and can attack your faith at its foundation. However, it is precisely in these moments of suffering, waiting, and uncertainty that our faith is tested and refined. The call to keep believing is not just a challenge—it’s a choice, a commitment, and a declaration of trust in a faithful God who never fails.

Believing in God’s promises often involves waiting. This waiting can be painful, and it’s easy to become weary. We may start to question, “Did I hear God right? Did I sin? Am I being punished? Have I missed something?” Yet, throughout Scripture, we see examples of individuals who clung to God’s promises despite the delay. Abraham waited 25 years for the promised son. Joseph endured betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment before his dreams came true. David spent years running from Saul before he became king. Their stories are testimonies that God’s promises are worth waiting for.

The enemy would love nothing more than for us to give up, let go of the promises, and settle for less. But when we choose to keep believing, we are not just holding onto a promise; we are holding onto the Promise-Giver Himself.

Let’s take a few moments to get some foundational confessions of faith deep within our hearts. We must remember that meditation plays a key role in establishing faith firmly within your inner spirit. It’s not just about saying words; meditation involves a God-imagination, allowing God’s promises to become part of who you are and your spiritual DNA.

Tips for Making Your Confessions

Here are a few tips before you begin your confessions:

1. Find a Quiet Place: Get to a quiet place where you won’t be distracted. You want to confess these treasures. Your relationship with God will grow more intimate over time through confession.

2. Take It Slow: Resist the temptation to rush through the confessions. Remember, these are powerful, life-changing words from the Promise-Giver that can alter your situation and circumstances.

3. Engage Your God-Imagination: Picture yourself experiencing these promises. While you can’t avoid having an imagination, you can choose to cast out evil imaginations of defeat and replace them with Word-centered, God-imaginations that bring about radical results.

4. Repeat Regularly: Repeat these confessions multiple times a day until they become part of your belief system.

5. Say It Out Loud: What you verbalize into the airwaves shapes your destiny. Just as frequencies create both picture and sound on your TV, the frequencies of God produce good things in your life. So don’t just think it say it out loud!

6. Ask for Holy Spirit’s Help: Ask Holy Spirit to help you focus on the promise and the Promise-Giver, not the problem and the pain. You can choose your mindset, so set your mind on things above and not on the troubles below.

7. Fight the Good Fight of Faith: Don’t fight the problem; remember that the battle belongs to the Lord. Your struggle is not with your circumstance but a spiritual battle against spiritual wickedness in high places. Your enemy is unbelief so fight with faith.

Life-Changing Confessions of Faith

Here we go, let’s start our journey of speaking these life-changing confessions:

1. I will never give up on the 7,487 promises of God. Since God said it, I believe it, I receive it, I retrieve it, I confess it, and then I possess it. Even when it feels like nothing is happening, I will continue to believe.

2. I will never allow myself to become so discouraged as to lose hope in His promises, regardless of how long I have to persevere. With the Holy Spirit’s help, when I start to feel discouraged, I will encourage myself with the promises of God. I will not let temporary setbacks cause me to forget eternal truths.

3. I choose not to enter into worry, stress, anxiety, or doubt. Fear and unbelief are not options for me. I choose to reject these feelings and any spirits that try to cause me to stop believing the promises of God.

4. I choose to receive my reward that is promised to those who keep on believing. I won’t back up, shut up, or quit. I refuse to be stressed, depressed, let down, or discouraged. I will not miss out on what God has for me because I gave up too soon.

Now, continue to confess these truths and have your plan in place when the enemy tries to come against your promises. We know that doubt, fear, and unbelief are constant threats to our faith. They whisper lies that God has forgotten us, that the promise is too good to be true, or that we are not worthy of what we are believing for. But God’s Word is clear: "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23).

Faith is not the absence of doubt; it is the refusal to be controlled by it. It’s okay to acknowledge the fears and questions that arise, but we must refuse to let them dictate our actions. Instead, we must stand firm, declaring that we will not surrender to unbelief. Believing is an active choice, made day after day, sometimes moment by moment.

Scripture reminds us in Galatians 6:9, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Perseverance is not passive waiting but an active trust in God's timing and His character. It’s knowing that even when we cannot see what He’s doing, He is always working behind the scenes.

There is a reward for those who keep on believing. Hebrews 11 is filled with testimonies of those who received what was promised because of their faith. They weren’t perfect, but they were persistent. The same God who rewarded them is the One we serve today, and His promises are still as true and powerful as ever.

Maybe you’ve been holding on to a promise that seems impossible. Perhaps the journey has been longer than you expected, and you’re tempted to give up. This is your reminder: Keep believing. God is faithful, and He is not finished yet. Don’t let the waiting steal your hope, and don’t let the delays cause you to doubt. Choose faith, reject fear, and keep your eyes fixed on the One who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ask or imagine.

Remember, your faith in God’s promise is one of the most valuable gifts God has given you. This makes God’s promises worth holding onto. Keep believing, keep hoping, and keep trusting. If you do then God will come through. For God is not a liar, but a rewarder of those who believe. Believe this one thing for sure, “The best is yet to come!”
