I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
– Revelation 1:8

Jesus is the beginning and the
ending. He is the Almighty. When He told us that in the book of
Revelation, He wasn't just giving us a general piece of information
about Himself. He was giving us a powerful truth we can apply now,
today!
Let me show you how. He said He is the beginning. So no
matter what challenge or situation you may be facing right now, you need
to start with Him. John 1:1 says Jesus is the Word. That means, if
you're going to start with Jesus, you're going to start with the Word.
Don't do anything until you find out what the Word has to say about it.
Then,
stay on the Word. As Colossians 1:23 says, "Continue in the faith
grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel,
which ye have heard."
Continue in the faith. The only way the
devil can defeat you is to pressure you into throwing away the Word.
Everything he does, every challenge he brings you is intended to make
you doubt the Word of God. So don't let go of the Word, no matter what
may happen. Settle it with God in prayer and stay with it forever. It is
written!
Then end with the Word. Jesus said He was the first and the last.
That means the word of your doctor is not the last word. Even the word
of your pastor is not the last word. The Word of Jesus is the last Word!
Remember
this: You are now what the Word says you are. You can do what the Word
says you can do. And you can have what the Word says you can have. Begin
to believe that. Begin to say it out loud in faith.
Now shout the victory. Yes, now! You don't have to wait to see the
outcome to celebrate. You have Jesus' Word on the matter, so you know
beyond any doubt that your breakthrough is coming. Once you've settled
yourself on Him, you can be assured that He will have the last word!
