Do Not Give Up. You Will Not Fail. The Lord is With You in These Battles. He has Given You the Strength to Press Through. (11.3.21)

 

Fellow Believers,
Discouragement is one of many ways for the thief to come in and steal our goods, our peace and our faith and trust in God. Perhaps some of you awoke today and felt just as bad as you did yesterday.  And for some of us, in a moment of weary resignation and discouragement, you may have cried out and released fear from within your heart. Saying (or thinking) untrue things like, “GOD is finished with me here; I give up.”

Well, I feel the Anointing of the Lord speaking to you.  Telling you right now - do not give up.

You will not fail.  

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;

and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous:

but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 

- Psalm 34:18-19  

 

God's Word gives us assurances that GOD is ever so near to the brokenhearted; and saves those with a contrite or crushed spirit. Knowing the Lord is with you in the battle should give you the strength to press your way through.  

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, 
and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of GOD. 

- Luke 9:62  

 

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you
will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 

- Philippians 1:6 

 

Now, think back to the last time the Lord made a way for you, when you felt like giving up.  Remember how you said you would trust in the Lord?  Think back to that time, and hold onto your confession of faith. Never, ever forget that you are not in this thing alone.  GOD is with you every step of the way, whether you “feel” Him or not, He Is ALWAYS there. Do not ever be fooled by your “feelings.” Be determined to stay right there, #lockStep with the Lord, until He Blesses you.

I don’t know about you, but I love to feel the joy of The Lord's Presence.  

I feel like praising the Lord for all He has done and what He Is getting ready to do - at ALL times. No matter what your day may look like, you’ve always got something to be grateful for. The Lord will even cause your "perceived failures" to work out for your good.

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: 

- Proverbs 24:16  

 

Oh, let everything that has breath praise the Lord, for His goodness and everlasting love!

Psalm 107:2 - Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 

Galatians 6:9 - So let's not become weary of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.
