Two kinds of faith: A delivering faith and a sustaining faith. Delivering faith is when God instantly turns your situation around. When that happens, it is great. But I believe it takes a greater faith and a deeper walk with God to have that sustaining faith and a deeper walk with God to have that sustain faith. That is when circumstances do not change immediately, but you say, God, I do not care what comes against me, I do not care how long it takes, this thing is going to defeat me. It is not going to get me down. I know You are on my side. And as long as You are for me, that is all that matters. Sustaining faith is what gets you through those dark nights of the soul when you do not know where to go or what to do and it seems that you cannot last another day, but because of your faith in God, you do.
When you have that kind of attitude, the adversary do not have change with you. Besides, it not usually adversities that cause our problems, it is how we respond to our adversities. You can have little bitter problem and it can defeat you. On the other hand, I have seen problem dealing with huge problems, tragic deaths in the family, incurable diseases, divorce, bankruptcy and all sort of other calamites, yet they are happy and at peace. They are living in an attitude of faith. They are believing for things to change. They are determined to live in victory.
When you face adversity, you need to remind yourself that whatever is trying to defeat you could very well be what God will use to promote you.
