God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Any training – physical, mental, or spiritual – is characterized at first by failure. We fail more often than we succeed. But if we persevere, we gradually see progress till we are succeeding more often than failing. This is true as we seek to put to death particular sins. At first it seems we are making no progress, so we become discouraged and think, What’s the use?! I can never overcome that sin. That is exactly what Satan wants us to think. It is at this point that we must exercise perseverance. We keep wanting instant success, but holiness doesn’t come that way. Our sinful habits are not broken overnight. Follow-through is required to make any change in our lives, and follow-through requires perseverance.
Some missionaries bound for Africa were laughed at by the boat captain. “You'll only die over there,” he said. But a missionary replied, “Captain, we died before we started.”
Combine first 4 ingredients in heavy saucepan. Stir over low heat until
butter melts and sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil 2 minutes. Cool
completely.
Preheat ovens to 350F. Grease and flour 10 cup bundt or tube pan. Using
Mixer, beat cake mix and next 8 ingredients until well blended. Fold in
chocolate chips and pour in prepared pan. Bake until toothpick inserted
near center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached or around 1 hour.
Immediatly spoon sugar and butter mixture over cake in pan. Let stand 30
minutes.
Turn cake out onto platter and cool completely. Sprinkle top with powdered
sugar.
NOTES : I know the thought of using a "mix" is enough to turn some people
away, but if you are willing to try this, I guarantee you will love it! Try
substituting the coffee liqueur for the Grand Marnier for a more intensely
flavored cake.
