"The Bible tells us that if we do not give up, we will receive the promise. That should be our stand. But, some of us, as I was feeling today, would rather settle for temporary relief than fight on for ultimate victory. I fully understand that - but never settle for less, when our heart is crying out for more. Never allow the enemies of your life to overtake you. I don't care what your enemies are; debt, lack, sickness, division in your family, or just plain weariness. You have authority over every enemy and you can change the situation -every time - if you will continue to fight.
This reminds me of the mom of our puppies that we had a couple years ago. Her name was Princess, and she had always been a very timid dog. She has never barked to my knowledge and sometimes even cowered in the corner. On the other hand, our male, Dudley, he was small, but thought he was the stuff - he would bark and try to pull Princess around by her leash, he tries to attack much larger dogs - he is all bulldog. One day, as Princess was feeding her babies, Dudley was walking around her, just tantalizing her. She took it for about 15 minutes and then with no warning - she attacked! She didn't growl to warn us - she lunged for Dudley with the most frightening bark I have ever heard. Why did she do that? I can tell you.
We as women were created by God to give birth. This not only applies in the natural but in the spirit as well. We are to birth breakthroughs, to release new beginnings into this earth. When Princess saw that something threatened her new beginnings, her promise she had given birth to - she was no longer timid - she didn't stop and say 'hmmm, perhaps he doesn't really mean them harm' no - she did what her instincts told her to do - she attacked what she perceived to be her enemy. (Men, you give birth spiritually too.)" -From A New Thing Ministries
