Bible Time There's an old fable that says, One day Satan was auctioning his tools. There was one tool marked Not For Sale. He was selling hatred, fear, envy, and lust. There was one tool, well worn by itself. Someone asked, Why is that not for sale? Satan replied, That's my most valuable tool. I can't afford to sell it. It is discourage ment. It is so worn because I use it on Christians. When I pry open their hearts with discouragement, I can do whatever I want.
We all get discouraged at times, though not always an attack from Satan. Many times it is our own reaction to disappointments. What can we do to overcome discouragement? 1st Samuel 30:6 "David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his son's and for his daughters: But David encouraged himself in the LORD his God." How do we encourage ourselves in the LORD our God? Get away from stresses, for a while. Even for just a few minutes, and praise the Lord. Pray, asking our Triune God (they work together), ask to be delivered from what is got us down. When Paul and Silas were in jail, they sang praises to God. Soon, they were delivered and a man and his family were born again (Acts 16:22-30. The word of God is full of encouragement. For example: The power of praying aligned in the name of Jesus. Praying with the trustworthy, spiritually mature in Jesus name. Whenever 2 or more gather in His name, He is in the midst. Seek others whose gift is exhortation. They are encouragers. Are we wearing our Armor of God? Attack discouragement with our sword: God's word. Read it daily. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead us to encouraging scriptures, in there is encouragement in the LORD. Be a blessing to someone who needs to be encouraged. 1st Thessalonians 5:11 "Wherefore comfort yourselves " together", and edify one another, even as also ye do." Hebrews 3:13 "But exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin."Consider 10:24 "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works." Hebrews 15:2 "Let everyone of us please his neighbor for his good to edification." Allow this message from the Word, relieve us of discouragement. Thank you for your time.
