Ever feel like giving up or running
away? Has y
our 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
