DON'T LOSE HEART





Shalom! I have a message for someone who is about to give up or surrender, in life.
There is someone who is saying I have been fasting and praying for a long time, but nothing seems to be working for me. ,
The situation is even becoming worse and more challenging.
 
I have come to encourage and assure you, that your prayers and good works are not in vain, it shall be well with you soon.   "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable,  always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as he know that your Labour is not in vain in the Lord.( 1 Corinthians 15:58).
The title of my message is: " DON'T LOSE HEART!"
 
We all go through phases where we question whether or not God is going to show  up on our behalf to defeat the giants that confront us in life.

But, 2 Corinthians 4vs16-18, gives us the hope that we need to continue persevering: " Therefore we do not lose heart.
Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.
For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. " ( 2  Corinthians 4:16-18).

These verses tell us that: .........................        
* Don't lose heart.                    
* Regardless of what it looks like on the outside, our strength is being renewed by God within.                                    
* The things that we face are not as big as they appear, for there is always an even greater picture of hope.                                   
* Don't focus so much on what is going on in the natural.
It's what is going on in the spiritual realm that counts.                                 
* The things that we can see ( our circumstances) are temporary, but the things that we cannot see ( God working on our behalf and transforming us into the image of the Lord Jesus) are securing our eternity in glory.
 
It is always discouraging to see someone suddenly give up when  he or she is very close to a miracle.
Even when you are weak and perhaps feel as if there is a breach between you and God, the Lord will still give you what you need to persevere.
Don't give up!

To the weak who trust Him, God gives power.      
To those who feel that they have utterly no might at all, He continues to increase strength. ( Isaih 40:28-30).
 
God loves it when we talk to Him and come to Him for strength when we feel weak.
Jesus in Matthew 11:28, says " Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." God wants you to lay everything that is bothering you at His feet. " Cast .....all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." ( 1 Peter 5 :7).
You have to take quality time with God and put Him first.
 
Study and meditate on His word, daily. ( Joshua 1:8, 2 Timothy 2:15). 
And if you will put God first, He will replenish you.
Regardless of what is taking place in your immediate surroundings, never give up on God, because He will never give up on you. " He Himself has said, ' I will never leave you nor forsake you" ( Hebrews 13:5).
 
Wait on God, and you will soon possess the power to fly over every hindrance that has restrained you from rising to fulfill the call of God - -the call that He has entrusted you to carry out according to His will.

 " Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. ( Isaih 40:31).
 
Don't lose heart!
Don't give up!
Don't quit!
Don't surrender!

Press on! It shall be well with you! ( Hebrews 10:35-39, Galatians 6:9-10).
Pray without ceasing! ( Ephesians 6:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:17).

May  God give you strength to press on!
God bless you all!
