Mark 3:27 (New Living Translation)

27 Who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man like Satan and plunder his goods? Only someone even stronger—someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.

Pastor Tan mentioned on Sunday "Persistence". And this was one of the verses quoted by him to illustrate the power of persistence.

I know it's not by coincidence that God showed me this verse during the first week of January, and then with Pastor talking about it last Sunday which helped me understand what God is really saying through Mark 3:27.

In 2008, my verse of the year was John 15:16.

John 15:16 (New Living Translation)

Indeed, year 2008 for me was a time when I really stepped UP to a brand new level of spiritual maturity and wisdom. I heeded the call of God, got serious about the divine appointment, and I am thankful that I did.

And I know 2009 will be a year that I enforce discipline, act in greater boldness and wisdom and sharpen all my attitudes. And it's a no brainer - it's definitely gonna take some serious persistence.

keep the faith up.

The key to successful persistence - pray, fast.

Give me bread. Give me bread. Give me bread. Give me bread. Give me bread. Give me bread. Give me bread!!!!!!!

Na, I give you all my bread. I'm not giving you because you are my friend. I'm giving you so that you won't come back and disturb my family at night anymore!

The power of persistence.
