Ever feel like giving up or running away? Has your determination to follow Christ at all cost lose it's momentum? This is a very dangerous time in one's life when their enthusiasm for the likeness of Christ is weakening. A pattern of discouragement must be broken once it gains a foothold in the life of a believer. Remember, even a tiny foothold can quickly become a broad and powerful stronghold.

If and when this happens in your life, know that Christ stands undaunted and ready to help. You must have a zero tolerance to lingering discouragement. Never trust your feelings! Trust the Word of God. Be aggressive in turning away from any and all sin the Holy Spirit convicts you of. Yield to the Holy Spirit's demonstration of the life of Christ in you, and you will find yourself very encouraged. Amen!

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
