9 And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.
Many people read this verse and argue that we have to stay the course on our own, or that we have to have the faith to continue to serve on our own. These people actually believe that we can lose heart. Let’s read some scripture here and see if that is true.
I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20
For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, Romans 6:8
If these scriptures are true, and they are, then it would mean that if we fainted or lost heart, Jesus had fainted and lost heart. Jesus will not faint and He will never lose heart, so we as His body cannot either.
So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself). Romans 10:17
We need to hear this Truth all of the time. We are now one with Jesus, so we are also one with all of His energy, faith, love, hope, joy, peace, power, and anointing. Jesus came and now through Him we have life and we have it abundantly!
