Peter Roselle: Destroy the Works of the Enemy (1 John 3:8)
We're here for a reason. 1 John 3:8 says, “For this purpose the son of God was manifest that He might destroy the works of the enemy.” If we connect that to John 20:21: “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” He is speaking to you and me, so if He was  manifested to destroy the works of the enemy, and He's sending us as the father sent Him, that means WE are here to destroy the works of the enemy. How do we do that? By praying for people, by laying hands on them for healing, by getting them saved. Psalm 30:5 “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 126:5-6 “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing.”

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

Hebrews 12 (Voice)
1 Let us drop every extra weight, every sin that clings to us 
and slackens our pace and let us run with endurance the long race set before us.
2 Stay focused on Jesus, who designed and perfected our faith. 
He endured the cross and ignored the shame of that death 
because He focused on the joy that was set before Him; 
and now He is seated beside God on the throne, a place of honor.
3 Consider the life of the One who endured such personal attacks and hostility 
from sinners so that you will not grow weary or lose heart.

Remember, chapter 11 is the Hall of Faith and talks
about all these amazing heroes.
In the beginning of chapter 12:1, the Word says, “Since we're surrounded
by such a great cloud of witnesses…”

Since we're surrounded by heroes, let us drop every
Extra weight and every sin that clings to us.
We need to be intentional to drop the sin clinging to us.
Similarly, Ephesians 4:22-24 says,
“Put off your old self… and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 
and to put on the new self.”

If it's clinging to you, drop it, because it slackens your pace.
We're in a race, right?
If you're in a race, you don't want to slack in your pace.
You want to run to win.

1 Corinthians 9:24 (AMP)
Run [your race] in such a way that you may seize the prize and make it yours!
2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
.
How about you? How are you running the race?
I’m running to win.
It is by faith that we're running this race
and we don't want anything to slow us down.
Run with endurance the long race that is set before us.
Hebrews 10:25
“Not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves as is the 
custom with some, but encouraging one another.”

We don’t just gather together, we assemble together
so that we can let the sparks fly back and forth.
If you're having a rough day, I can help you and vice versa.
It's not a short little sprint, it's a long race and if you're
discouraged you get tempted to stop running the race.
That's part of that passivity that tries to grip us when
we're discouraged. 

Once they're saved, by helping them get delivered from
the baggage that they might have carried into the Kingdom.
We destroy the enemy’s works by preaching the Word of God,
by bringing clothes to Paterson - all the different ways that we can act
in a redemptive way as ambassadors for the Lord.
The enemy wants to discourage you, he wants to unplug you from
your power source, because even if he just takes
ten percent of your edge off, he knows you will not be 
working at full capacity.
Hebrews 12:2 
“Stay focused on Jesus.”
When you're having a tough time, stay focused on Jesus.
If you are a long-distance runner you know at some point that 
you're going to “hit the wall,” you're going to want to quit.
Your body is screaming at you, all the circuit breakers are going off saying, 
“We're going to die! We're going to die!”
But runners know if you just keep pushing through, you’ll get a second wind.
That's the wind of the Holy Spirit. 
That's what happens when you're praying, you're fasting,
you’re persistent, and the fatigue is telling you to quit, but then 
the Word of God reminds us:
Psalm 30:5
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Psalm 126:5-6
“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.”
