Refusing Defeat

Amen

...and every branch that bears fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. (John 15:2)
The Lord is with us. Do not fear them. (Numbers 14:9)

Issues that contribute to our spiritual defeat
1. Pruning in our lives is misunderstood, so we do our own pruning.
2. We are consumed by the present.
3. A misunderstanding of our present situation causes rebellion to be born in our heads.
4. We learn to remain in what was to be a temporary/transitional place.
5. If we continue to live in personal defeat we may not want to be liberated.
6. If going forward doesn't seem to work we accept defeat as a way of life.
