Brief Summary: When we abide we stand in faith for what we have prayed for. Despite what things look like, and what everyone else is saying, we know God has answered our prayers and we will stand in faith until we see what we have prayed for. As we abide we must know that God is and does reward those that diligently seek Him. God wants the very best for His children that have accepted His Son and as they abide He is faithful to deliver. When you are trusting in God the devil is doing all he can to keep you from it. That is why we must abide in Him. Abiding does not mean saying we believe in God and then as time goes on we change our confession. Remember, the things we say tell the devil whether we are abiding in God or the devil still has us where he wants us, afraid and scared that God will not do what He said He would.

God always does what He says for those that believe Him. And satan always is trying to keep you from that belief. That is why we must abide.
