I dont subscribe to the belief, if you can't beat them then join them!!! in the words of Brown "The devil is a Liah!!!" For I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me, even when it looks to man like i am loosing, I am winning. I bet it looked like to many as Jesus was dying on that cross, as the blood was pouring out of His body, and in pain and anguish, that He was loosing, They thought that they had won, but no. He went down, to get up with MORE power. He CHOSE to SUFFER, they did not take ANYTHING FROM HIM!!! Christ, humbled Himself, and sometimes humbling seems/appears like defeat. This is where we separate those that are mature, from those that are'nt. Spiritual sight shows you, that the person is BEING planted in the dirt, that they are going underground to the refreshing source, and will come out with power and strength.
Futhermore, my demonstration of the power God has equipped me with, may not look like yours but nonetheless it is power. Never believe that GOD'S POWER IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE NATURAL EYES CAN NOT SEE. I have learned that some channels are clear, and some are clogged, but God's power works better than the best Draino in the world!
Acceptance and FAITH work hand-n-hand. You must accept and have faith in God, remember to EVERY MAN was given a measure of faith. What we believe in produces actions in us. But our time is not God's, He is a very patient and loving father. When you begin to release things to God you show your faith in action.
