Relentless Faith
Creflo Dollar
What does it mean to have bulldog faith? It is the kind of faith that is characterized by what
I call, doggonedness. It is the type of belief that grabs on to the promises of God and
refuses to let go. It is relentless. Every Christian is called to live their lives by releasing the
faith of God into their situations and circumstances. Everyone will face temptations, trials,
and tests, but only those who refuse to let go of what God has said will see the end of their
faith. A relentless Christian is the one who gets results in the Kingdom of God.
When you look at that word, relentless,it really denotes a sense of steadfastness,
perseverance, and a refusal to give up, cave in, or quit. It simply will not come off the
promises of God. It is focused in its pursuit of the final outcomeno matter what it goes
through or faces. A person who is relentless is a real soldier where the things of God are
concerned and in the way they handle the devil. This person is not easily swayed by what
things look like or how they feel. They have locked into the faith of God, and you had better
believe manifestation is on its way!
The key to walking in relentless faith is to refuse to entertain unbelief. Faith will not work
when you have doubt in your heart. You must stand firm on the promises from Gods Word
and reject any thought, suggestion, or inclination that goes against what you believe. The
enemy will bring negative thoughts to your mind, but you can override them by knowing and
quoting the Scripture.
Jesus gave an important formula for getting your faith to workevery time! He said it is
critical to believe you receive what you pray for, when you say it, and do not allow doubt to
invade your heart and mind. When you do this, you can move mountains! To be relentless in
your faith means fighting doubt and unbelief the moment they come to your mind, filling
your heart with the Word of God, and speaking it at every turn with boldness, authority, and
consistency. Doing this, creates a pounding spiritual force that blows obstacles out of your
way.
To operate in this kind of faith, you must know who you are in Christ. Christians have been
made righteous by the blood of Jesus and are no longer under the dominion of sin and the
curse. Consequently, you have a right to every covenant promise in Gods Word, including
the benefits of faith-based living. In fact, living by faith is a requirement, not an option for
those who are a part of Gods Kingdom.
Walking by faith is an adventure that will take you on a treasure hunt through the Word of
God. Your faith is your ammunition against Satan and will carry you through tough times.
Refuse to give up, even in the face of adversity. When you have relentless, bulldog faith,
nothing will be withheld from you!
