Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the Lordwill renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

THE ONE WHO LOSE HOPE AND QUIT A FIGHT IS ACTUALLY SAYING THAT GOD IS NOT ABLE TO HELP AND GIVE VICTORY.

Once I went to visit a church and God gave me a revelation to pass on to a brother who was in very bad health, with hepatitis C, and the revelation was that God would heal him, and that he should have faith and believe that God would do this work.

A few months later I met him again, in the same church, and asked him how his health was, he then told me that he was not well, that he was taking very strong medication, which completely altered his physique and his well-being.

So I said to him: Have faith that God will heal you.

And he replied: I have faith that God can heal me, but does He want to heal me?

At that moment my reaction was automatic and I said: Don't settle down with those thoughts and don't act with that posture, because God's desire is that we always seek our blessings, not conforming to natural circumstances, but rather that we are always standing, believing that God can help us.

We, with our attitudes, touch the heart of God, so that He orders our blessing.

I then quoted the Biblical passage of King Hezekiah, when God sent the prophet Isaiah to tell the king that he would die, that is, a death sentence given by God himself.

Isaiah 38:1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.

King Hezekiah's immediate attitude upon receiving the death sentence was to pray and cry out to God, asking God to heal him.

Isaiah 38:2-3 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

God answered the King's prayer:

Isaiah 38:4-5 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.

Your cry and your perseverance with faith can generate miracles, for as the Word of God says:

Job 14:7-9 At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth shoots like a plant.

That brother thanked me and said: I'm going to seek my blessing from God.

After almost three years, I met another person from that church and I asked about that brother and he told me: HE WAS HEALED, today he no longer has the disease.

I praised and thanked God, for God's purpose in our lives is always to bless, according to: Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Learn from this testimony, PERSEVERE AND DON'T LOSE HOPE, DON'T FOLLOW YOUR PROBLEMS, FIRST SEEK GOD FOR THE SOLUTION and THE ANSWER WILL COME.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
