This message is inspired by the Reading “Pushing On” from the Book Overcoming Darkness.

Adversity and Struggles will attempt to bring despair into our Lives.  Our Life’s ambitions are to feel comfortable and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Is He not faithful who promises? (Psalm 128:2, Hebrews 10:23)

When we encounter adversity and struggles, we experience a test of our Faith. (James1:2-4, Isaiah 48:10). God’s Anointed find great joy in being rooted and grounded in Love (Ephesians 3:17). They trust that weeping only endures for a night (Psalm 30:5). They know the enemy and his evil spirits always flee. (James 4:7)

So how do we respond when adversity and struggle confront us? We keep it Simple. We Keep Pushing On. The Righteous continue to move forward and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger (Job 17:9). We forget about what is behind us and continue to focus on what is ahead. (Philippians 3:13) 

As we Overcome Darkness, we test all Spirits to determine whether they are good or evil. (1 John 4:1) (Whatever Things Are Pure). We cling to matters that are Right (Romans 12:9) (Right is Right). We Overcome our Generational Curses. (Free Will)

 We are never overwhelmed by Negativity. Negative thoughts have us to become frustrated and question our God Given Authority. We reject all negativity by continually seeking the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness (Matthew 6:33) (Unyielding Faith). Those things that are True are inscribed in our Hearts. (Philippians 4:8-9)   

God granted us authority over all Evil and Negative Spirits (Luke 10:19). We know that All Things work for our Good (Romans 8:28). When confronted with Evil and Negative Spirits, we “Keep Pushing On.” No Weapons formed against us shall prosper.

“Keep Pushing On” Written and Performed by John Stuckey Jr

PUSH ON

People trying to make holes 

That will close the doors

Of the will of God and hope

For good things to come 

A brighter day

These little obstacles we can cope

When you push back 

Don’t give no slack

The door will open up more

You have been granted to know 

That what God has in store

Is what God planned for you

When darkness comes 

Just before the light 

Take your pen and write

A Good Message keeps God in sight

Look at the Blessings 

In all He has granted you

 See God’s Grace in all things

 You have set out to do

And with His Love

 And all His Grace 

Thoughts of God

Will keep you in the race
