‘I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.’
Psalms 27:13
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
I can’t.
Entertain.
Giving up!
This morning.
Pastor Cochran.
Delivered.
A powerful.
Word.
That.
Encouraged.
Me.
To.
Keep.
Believing.
Because.
He’s.
About.
To.
Bring me.
Into.
Everything.
He’s.
Promised.
Me!
Pastor Cochran’s.
Message.
Was.
Titled.
Giving Up Won’t Help!
And.
He taught.
Us.
That.
If.
We entertain.
The spirit.
Of.
Giving up.
It will.
Influence.
Us.
To.
Turn back.
Or.
Quit.
Fighting.
The good.
Fight.
Of.
Faith!
‘The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.’
Psalms 78:9
Also.
He taught.
Us.
That.
When.
We are.
Learned.
We don’t.
Give up.
Because.
God.
Has.
Equipped.
Or.
Armed.
Us.
With.
Everything.
We need.
To.
Fight back.
When.
Challenging.
Times.
Come!
Our.
Mindset.
Must be
I’m to.
Learned.
To.
Quit.
Because.
God.
Doesn’t.
Lose.
A battle!
And.
The day.
Of.
Battle.
Is.
The day.
Of.
Victory!
However.
We must.
Be careful.
When.
Man.
Tells us.
No.
Or.
It seems.
Like.
We have.
Been.
Defeated.
Because.
God.
Monitors.
Our.
Attitude.
During.
Challenging.
Times.
Ultimately.
We need.
To.
Toughen.
Up.
Because.
God.
Will.
Never.
Place.
Us.
In.
A battle.
That.
We’re.
Not.
Ready for.
Therefore.
We must.
Learn.
To.
Encourage.
Ourselves.
In.
The Lord!
And.
Believe.
In.
His goodness.
Because.
The battle.
Has.
Already.
Been.
Won!
‘Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”’
Mark 9:23
I pray.
That you.
Learn.
To.
Dismiss.
The spirit.
Of.
Giving up.
And.
Learn.
To.
Fight back.
And.
Have.
Faith!
Because.
The Lord.
Is.
With.
You!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
