I want to talk to you today about Easier Than You Think. When we face challenges and have things that come against us, it’s easy to start dreading it, thinking this is going to be so hard, “How am I going to make it through this treatment? How can I deal with this child that’s off course? How can I accomplish this dream? I don’t have the resources, the connections”. Yes, there are seasons of testing where we have to endure, do the right thing when it’s hard, but there are also times God will step in and make it easier than it looks.
You may go through seasons of struggle where you don’t see anything happening, no growth, no improvement. Thoughts will tell you “This will always be difficult. You’ll always struggle”. It looks like it’s going to be long, hard, drawn out, but if you’ll stay in faith you’re going to come in to these moments of favor where God will suddenly cause things to fall into place, suddenly the burden is lifted, suddenly people change their mind, suddenly your business takes off, suddenly your health turns around, it’s not a struggle anymore. God is going to make things happen that you couldn’t make happen. And some of the things that are stressing you out, you’re worried, thinking all the reasons why it’s not going to work out, like with me you’re going to find God has already resolved the problem, he’s already changed their mind, he’s already lined up the promotion, the healing, the good breaks. You think you’re gonna have to work for it, convince someone, earn it, endure, outlast – it’s going to be easier than you think.
You may have situations that seem much bigger, stronger, trouble at work, a legal problem, the odds are against you. You’re thinking, “How can I deal with this? It’s going to be so difficult”. God is going to do for you what he did for them, he’s crossing over ahead of you right now so you can easily conquer. It’s not going to be what it looks like. You’re going to see favor, breakthroughs, freedom, things that you couldn’t make happen. It’s the hand of God. Now get this down in your spirit: easily conquer. You’re not going to deal with that depression forever – easily conquer. That cancer is not going to take you out – easily conquer. That struggle and lack is not your destiny – you will easily conquer it. One touch of God’s favor, suddenly things turn around, suddenly giants come down, suddenly addictions are broken, suddenly doors open, you see increase, abundance. When you’re tempted to dread, worry, think it’s too much – turn it around, “Father, thank you that you are crossing over ahead of me, devouring what’s trying to stop me. Thank you that I will easily conquer, that I will go into my Promised Land, that I will become all that you’ve created me to be”.
God already has the healing in route, the promotion in route, the freedom in route, the abundance in route, the right people are in route. May seem like you could never get out of your situation, never accomplish that dream – you don’t know what God is up to though, you don’t know what’s already in route. It’s not going to be as difficult as you think, it’s not going to take as long as it looks. God is going before you making crooked places straight. If you could see what he has coming, how he’s going to turn the trouble around, restore what you’ve lost, thrust you to a new level, you wouldn’t be discouraged, you wouldn’t complain, you would thank God for his goodness. It may look complicated, may seem stressful, the odds are against you, you could live worried – you have to keep reminding yourself, “It’s going to be easier than it looks”. God is in control. He’s fighting your battles. His plans for you are for good. He’s bigger than the sickness, greater than the trouble, more powerful than what’s trying to stop you.
Let faith rise up today. Sure we’re going to have challenges. They’re going to be seasons where we have to endure, outlast, stand strong, but I want you to see: is there are also moments of favor where God’s going to step in and make it easier than it looks? Don’t go through life dreading, worried, stressed out – you’re not doing life on your own, the gracious hand of God is on you. All through the day, “Father, thank you that you’re going before me, making cooking places straight. Thank you that your yoke is easy and your burden is light”. I believe and declare: you’re about to see the gracious hand of God. What used to be a struggle is not going to be a struggle anymore. Negative situations are turning around. New doors are about to open. Healing is coming, breakthroughs are coming, favor is coming, it’s going to be easier than you think, in Jesus name. And if you receive it, can you say amen today? Amen.
