The devil wants to discourage you. He will whisper doubts in your ears to make you give up. There are several words in the Bible translated as discourage. One means to weaken (rapa). Another means to faint (masas). A third means to cut down or shorten (qasar).
These definitions lay out satan’s plan for your life. The enemy wants you to throw in the towel. If he can’t get you to give up altogether, he wants you to slow down.
– Perhaps you were certain that you were about to get your breakthrough and then the cloud the size of a man’s hand floated back out to sea. Maybe everyone around you has been getting blessed while you have waited on the sidelines for what feels like an eternity.
– It could be that you have been standing in faith, but you just don’t know how much longer you will have to wait. Surely it should have happened by now?
– Perhaps people made cruel comments that caused you to crumple. Whatever caused it, remember that discouragement is dangerous. It wants you to slow down or give up.
We need faith and focus to fulfil our purpose so we cannot tolerate it in our hearts. Let’s look at three steps that will help you to kick discouragement out of your life.
1. RELEASE YOUR PAIN
Disappointment and delay sound harmless but they hurt. When we are weighed down with pain, it is very difficult to rise up in faith. Go to God and tell Him how you feel. Explain what has hurt you the most. Turn your pain into a prayer.
Buried pain is one of the main causes of discouragement. If you have been feeling down for a while, please make sure you register for today’s free event: REFRESH ONLINE. God will do more than you could ask or imagine.
2. REMEMBER GOD’S GOODNESS
Abraham & Sarah were promised they would have a son, however nothing happened for more than two decades. But because they stayed in faith, they held their baby boy.
David was given a word as a teenager that he would rule over Israel. After a brief period of prominence, everything went wrong and the young warrior spent 10 years on the run. Then a week after his darkest day, David was made King.
Joseph had a dream that he would be great, but spent 13 years as a slave and in prison. Then one day, he was promoted from prisoner to prime minister. The God who has done it for them will be faithful to you.
Go back to God’s promises to you. Dig out scriptures that confirm them. Remind yourself of every time that the Lord has come through. Shift your focus from your circumstances to His greatness and from the delay to His faithfulness.
3. REBUKE THE DEVIL
It is time to defeat the devil by kicking discouragement out of your life. Rise up on the inside and rebuke every doubt.
Josh 1:9 says, “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed…” Take courage. God did it for Abraham, Joseph and David. He will come through for you.
