John 11:41 Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
2 Peter 1:3-4 His divine power has granted (past tense) to us everything pertaining to life… For
by these He has granted (past tense) to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by
them you may become (conditional present tense) partakers of the divine nature,
Hebrews 10:36-38 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God,
you may receive the promise: “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will
not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure
in him.”
Enduring faith is a type of faith that not only believes for a breakthrough, but is unwilling
to change the subject until breakthrough comes.
God doesn’t have pleasure in the one who shrinks back.
Matthew 24:13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
“Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
James 1:6-7 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is
like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive
anything from the Lord.
Faith is the legal requirement that gives God the right to move in your life.
Genesis 15:4-5 Then the word of the Lord came to him… a son who is your own flesh and blood
will be your heir.” He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if
indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
Genesis 25:20-21 Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah… Isaac prayed to the
Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless.
I Kings 17:7-13 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
Then the word of the LORD came to him: "Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I
have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food." So he went to Zarephath.
When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked,
"Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?" As she was going to get it, he
called, "And bring me, please, a piece of bread."
"As surely as the LORD your God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread—only a handful of
flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal
for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die."
I Timothy 6:3 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called
Through our faith we take hold of the eternal in our life.
John 11:1-6 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and
her sister Martha. (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who
poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) So the sisters sent word to Jesus,
“Lord, the one you love is sick.”
When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so
that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and
Lazarus. So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days,
Matthew 8:5-6, 13 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for
help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”… Then Jesus said
to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed
at that moment.
Mark 7:24-25, 29-30 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house
and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. In fact, as soon as
she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came
and fell at his feet… Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your
daughter.” She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Matthew 21:20-21 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree
wither away so soon?” So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have
faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to
this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.
“Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done
to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain,

Mark 16:14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their
lack of faith
Luke 8:25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
The second place we must fight is in the area of aligning our mouth with what God is
saying over our life.
“This book of the law will be in your mouth and you will meditate on it day and night.”
James 3: 11-12 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers
and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring
produce fresh water.
At some point to achieve breakthrough, we have to come to the place where we only decree
what God is saying.
Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it
day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will
make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
There are many breakthroughs that are one decree short of happening.
John 11:4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death.
John 11:11-15 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen
asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” Jesus had been speaking of his
death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so
that you may believe.
John 11:21-27 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have
died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even
though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come
into the world.”
John 11:32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and
said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
John 11:39 “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead
man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
John 11:40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of
God?”
Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a
harvest if we do not give up.
God has predetermined that His children would receive breakthrough if we do not lose
heart and give up.
