Power of The Cause
Isaiah 40:30,31 - Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the
young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall
renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
If you are in touch with people dedicatedly doing the Lord's work, you
are sure to find an amazing amount of energy in them. They that do the
Lord’s work from their hearts will always have a smile on their face
and for them time is just a factor.
When you look at them you may ask 'do they get tired?'
Yes they do get tired, but their stamina is like an athlete on
steroids (steroids destroy the body but love for God's purpose
strengthens and builds not only body, but even heart and spirit). When
one is focused on The Cause of Lord Jesus Christ and their Cause
(part) in The Cause, they will not be impatient or faint.
Many people have burnt up and crashed on their journey because of only
one reason, they lost focus of The Cause.
God created the creation for The Cause.
God allowed sin to come into man, so that man by The Cause can have
victory over sin and a share in His glory.
Man goes through experiences in life for The Cause.
Son of God came as man for The Cause.
He showed us The Cause and how to take it up in life; to live for it.
He gave us His Spirit to help us to take up The Cause and bring it to
fulfillment.
It is by The Cause that we will have victory and inheritance in God the Father.
The first thing when the New Church (Christianity) was formed Satan
first attached The Cause. He gave us a decoy and the Church took an
object in hand instead of The Cause. After nearly a thousand three
hundred years The Cause started to come back into man’s life and the
true Church started coming out into formation.
It is only by our focus on The Cause that we will have renewed levels
of strength, power and joy. So know The Cause and be focused on it,
know your part of The Cause and stick to it.

Mark 8:34-35
34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples
also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross <4716>, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save
it.

Luke 9:23-26
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will
lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose
himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall
the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in
his Father’s, and of the holy angels.
1 Corinthians 1:18-21
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will
bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of
this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not
God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that
believe.
1 Corinthians 15:51-58
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your
labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Revelation 12:3-6
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red
dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his
heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did
cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which
was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was
born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with
a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his
throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place
prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two
hundred and threescore days.
