Are you discouraged?

Are you discouraged? Feeling down and out? Wondering why you should not even try to live the Christian life more, especially because I feel such a failure? Who has not felt useless at times? Who has not grown impatient with themselves and felt bad for their lack of spiritual progress? (Lk 8:15). You're Not Alone! We all go into the valleys of the shadow of death. But take courage, must lead the way again soon! "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me hope in God? Why am I still praise Him, who is the health of my countenance and my God" (Ps. 42:11).

Who I encourage you to stop? Christ would want you to give up? One who died for you? God would pressure you to surrender? Too many have never realized what a wild beast and the enemy we face! Even those who have not refused the devil as a superstition, did not realize how dangerous it really is to our health and wellbeing. God picks up the pieces of lives that have been savagely ripped and torn to pieces and left for dead by sin (Isaiah 49:24-25, Amos 3:12).

Satan foaming at the mouth against our incredible human potential and wants us out as a sniper - one at a time. He hates all men with a jealous rage (because we created after Godkind), but it is mainly targeted the brethren (1 Pet. 5:8-11). The Devil can take some things that are true about you and twist them, taking them out of context, and suddenly all out of proportion to destroy your will to survive! He never stops bad mouthing us because he is a liar and murderer murderess CHARACTER! (John 8:44, Rev. 12:10) But do not let the powers of darkness overcome your will to live in the light! Do not accept depressed mind of Satan! Do not fall prey to his desperate attitude of defeat! He has no right to condemn (Romans 8:1,33).

King David would be discouraged, but she had her prayers end on a positive note, showing the effect of healing of the Spirit of God on our minds while we are engaged in Prayer of the heart. "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living wait for the Lord. Be of good cheer, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say to the Lord" (Ps. 27: 13-14). David believed in the goodness of God, hope in his mercy, and waited for his sufficient grace - the grace to forgive or increase (2 Cor 12.9) ..

God will give us the grace to bear many burdens in life (Hebrews 4:16). His Holy Spirit enables us to be nice - full of grace - even in adverse circumstances. We live and learn through a variety of situations to be kind in word and deed, attitude and action. David knew beyond any shadow of doubt that: "The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with the strength" (Psalm 29:11). So "be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord" (Psalm 31:24).

Even if you got taken away, your sins have brought you away from God and Satan holds you captive (2 Timothy 2:26; .. Cor 5:5), remember God and remember Him! Not that I've never forgotten.? "Zion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me Can a woman forget her child, so she should not have compassion on the child she bore Yes, they can. Forget, but do not forget" Here , I have engraved on the palms of my hands, your walls are continually before me "(Isaiah 49:14-16). God's love for us goes beyond our love for him. He demonstrated that, when Jesus 'palms had stakes driven through them (Zechariah 13:06).

Some have been foolishly deceived by sin and have become carelessly caught it again - trapped in a danger zone - but do not give up until they can exceed what is currently on top! (Hebrews 3:13, 2 Peter 2:20) .. It 'only those who have completely turned their backs on God, who refuse to go back up when knocked down in the ring, he'll lose the victory.

"Yet for all this (in spite of ourselves), when they are in the land of their enemies, not throw them away, nor do I abhor them, to destroy them completely, and break my covenant with them: for I am the Lord their God" ( Lev. 26:44). God promises to liberate, regather and recovery. It will free us from those sins that have cruelly taking our time and attention, regather our spiritual senses (as the psychological warfare of Satan had left us a case desperate and spread a brain [Lk 22:31-32; Dt 28.:. 66-67]), and restore us to sanity and a right relationship with him (to which we belong), but "If one of your being returned to the outer part of the sky, beyond the Lord your God will gather you and from there he'll take you "(Deut. 30:3-4). No matter how far I strayed, God has not lost sight of you. "Where can I go from your Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from your presence? "(Psalm 139:7).

If you start to cry out to God for help, even if it's a lament, because you're so weak, he can see and listen and respond. "The Lord is near to those whose hearts are broken, and be saved as a contrite spirit ... one of those who trust in Him shall be desolate" (Psalm 34:18,22). "I will not contend forever, nor will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls that I did ... I have seen his ways and will heal him: I will take him also, and restore comforts unto him and his mourning "(Isaiah 57:15-18).

God sees that effort we got in and where our relapse into sin is dangerously misguided and stranded us, bringing us almost to the point of no return, but nothing can separate us from God unless you leave! (Romans 8:35-39). As long as there is a spark of God's Spirit, God can renew our minds and transform our lives! (Psalm 51:10). God will finish what we started in our lives (Philippians 1:6, Isaiah 66:9) .. Never forget that we worship a MIRACLE-WORKING GOD!

Remember the prodigal son was still far from his father, their estranged relationship, but when he "came to himself" and went home - even when he was still a long way - "his father saw him and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck and kissed him "(Luke 15:17, 20). God only knows where you are and what direction you're headed in your heart and mind, even if your actions have not reached yet with your attitude! God knows that they, over time. "He remembers our frame [make-up], he recalls, but we are dust" (Ps.103: 14). God wants to encourage us to change, not even trying to discourage us (2 Cor. 2:7).

Constructive criticism, not destructive. Judgement with mercy. God helps, but Satan hinders progress, but we win CONTINUING, one step at a time (Ts 2:18;. 2 Peter 3:18) .. God gave David the kingdom, but had to fight for it! So do we! (Matthew 11:12, I Tim 6:12.). Otherwise we take it for granted. Keep up the fight (Luke 13:24). All the things you believe are worth fighting for. The growth comes in stages. We must let our patience with their course studies and create the character of God in us (Hebrews 12:11;. Jas 1.4).

Satan wants to turn off your light (I Tim. 4:16). God hates the embers of the sacred Spirit, light and truth we maintain and are, as a royal priesthood (I Pet 2:9;. Jn 17:17;. Ex 27:20) .. God does not kick us when we're down and out, but encourages us to get up and get over it and move on with his work! (Ps. 37:24; Philip 3:13.). When your faith and your confidence is shaken Shakey, Christ will not turn off, but adding more oil so that it can rise and shine! (Isaiah 42:3). "God has directed us to suffer wrath but to obtain salvation ... Therefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as you also" (I Thess. 5:9-11).

"For God commends his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us ... For if, when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more be reconciled, we shall be saved by his life ... when we received our reconciliation "(Rom 8-11). If God can express this love for us when we were not even trying to lead a Christian life pleasing to Him, especially now that we're trying - however imperfect? Because we do not suffer hunger and thirst for justice?

Brothers enjoy your suffering HOLY! It is developing a purpose in your life that will last for all eternity! growing pains hurt.

We must love God, especially when it spots his mercy and patience toward us. His goodness should stir us want to get closer to Him and do everything possible to show how much we appreciate his tender love (Rom 2:4; Lk 7:47) .. Nothing should come between our relationship with God our Creator! If God would save our ancestors time and again, when they shouted to him, as he saves us from the Lake of Fire? (Jude 23, 24). God can save us from sinful situations and the restoration of his priesthood promised us (Zech. 3). We can be "a brand plucked from the fire, saved by the" furnace of affliction "(Isaiah 48:10). God can forcibly remind us the hard way that He is what we really want to, made his kingdom and righteousness, not the superficial things that could not fill the emptiness of life (Psalm 106:15, 107:9).

We must bear in mind the higher meaning and purpose in life: God to develop holy, righteous character in joyful expectation of God's kingdom. This will help us to face all challenges that life offers us in this process of purification that we call conversion. We must remember: "There has no temptation taken you but such as is common [not uncommon] to man: but God is faithful and not let you be tempted beyond the tolerance level, but any temptation to provide a way ' output, so you can handle "(I Cor. 10:13 paraphrased).

And realize "... that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Rom 8:18) because Christ will return soon and every practicing Christian will be made perfect! Then we help our Savior in preparing the way for our arrival Father impressive with the new Jerusalem! (Rev. 21:3).

The Kingdom of God is closer every day, so we should hold their heads up and not be discouraged, but allow ourselves to be encouraged to continue (Isaiah 35:3, Luke 21:28) .. All trip, but do not swim (Ps. 37:24). Let your attitude is: "I will not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord The Lord has chastened me sore: but he has not given me over to death." (Psalm 118:17-18). Alleluia!

God's forgiveness and cleansing of Christ remain in force (Isaiah 18). God knows what we've been through and lived with us in the middle of it, wearing the crown of thorns (Isa. 63:9; January 22:13;. Ex. 3:2). God could not get much closer (Jer 23:23). The bottom line is: hope and despair, faith and not fear! After all, "... it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (Luke 12:32).
