"And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the grief.”



10 KEYS WHEN FACED WITH DISCOURAGEMENT



. 1. Peace - When faced with the spirit of discouragement at times , we tend to lose our peace and give in to depression and sadness . No! your peace in Christ is what will sustain you when discouragement comes . While in that atmosphere of discouragement deliberately change it into joy, activate your joy with whatever gives you joy and choose deliberately to hold your peace , while God is at work . Key - Job 22:21(Amp)"Now yield and submit yourself to Him [agree with God and be conformed to His will] and be at peace; In this way [you will prosper and great] good will come to you.”
2. Watch your thoughts at such times, if you continue to think about what is happening to you or the situation you are facing , you are going to fall for it . No ! deliberately choose to think what God's word says concerning it and be hopeful .Phil 4:8(Amp)" Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God's word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].”
 3. Sit down to study the word - Is not a time to start telling everyone that cares to listen your story , they also have their own problems too. Sit down in His presence and study,meditate on the word .It is in His presence , He comes to encourage you , not outside. 2Cor 1:3 (Amp)"Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.”
 4. Prayer - prayer of petition , prayer of thanksgiving very important . Don't fall for the discouragement even for a second , rise to the occasion quickly and do what Jesus did ..in His moment of discouragement , He prayed the more .Luke 22:44(Amp)"And being in agony [deeply distressed and anguished; almost to the point of death], He prayed more intently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down on the ground.”
 5. Joy - Is the opposite of allowing the spirit of discouragement to set in . And how do you hold on to that joy in the midst of discouragement ? by giving Him thanks concerning what He has promised you with joy . You might not even understand it , but it works. Isaiah 12:3(NIV)"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." Like Psalm 37:4 .."Father I still thank you , because your word says if I take delight in you , you would grant me the secret petitions of my heart " . Key - play your role by faith and let Him answer you by faith . Mark 11:22 (Amp)" Jesus replied, “Have faith in God[constantly].
 6. If you can it helps too - Worship - you can sing a song of worship or play songs of worship and just soak yourself in His presence . When He comes , there is no way you will not be lifted and encouraged again . See the life of David in the book of psalm 138:2"I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.".He worshipped ! And that was one weapon that really help David in his times of trouble.
7. Bridle your tongue - Don't be tempted to speak negatively now . Hold your peace and allow the Holy Spirit to put the right words in your mouth to speak . Amen .Isaiah 50:4"The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.” 
8. Continue to sow your good seeds and let it not discourage you . If you have an opportunity to help someone still go ahead and do it. Key - Psalm 37:3 (NLT)" Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.". It works.
 9. Guard your heart because Satan is going to come after it to see that you stay discouraged . shut him out . And be positive . confess and say to yourself " my God will make it to work for my good in Jesus name , amen. I am His child , period !! Roms 8:28(NLT)"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” 
10. Finally go into your closet and just thank Him. Don't mind the tears ,never let go of your faith and trust in the lord . still appreciate Him and give Him all the glory . Amen. 1 Thess 5:18 (NLT)" Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."


Personal quote:

"There is strength hidden inside of you , use it ."



 Prayer - I rebuke the spirit of discouragement now in Jesus name , Amen


 Be blessed !

"For this is the will of God, that you should be consecrated (separated and set apart for pure and holy living ): that you should abstain and shrink from all sexual vice.” 

15 HARMFUL EFFECTS ABOUT MASTURBATION MANY BELIEVERS/CHRISTIANS DON'T KNOW ABOUT!

1. It weakens your spirit man. Man is a spirit being , created by God , masturbation is like a futile spiritual exercise , that has to do with your thoughts which is part of your spirit being , when you engage in such futile spiritual exercise , spiritual virtue is release , when that happens , rather than being strengthen by the word which gives you life , you are weakened by your canal nature which brings death. Scripture says in the book of  Roms 6:23 (Amp version) "For the wages which sin pays is death , but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord." Feeding on the word brings life to your spirit.
2. It affects your thought pattern; naturally God created man to think and act like him; masturbation causes a shift in your thoughts; which hinders the flow of your heavenly thoughts (divine ideas , heavenly revelation etc).1 Cor 2:16(Amp)"For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes].”
3. It drives your spirit deeper into lust, which when not checked can lead to perversion at a very "high" level . You hear of cases , were the man complains or the wife complains that her hubby can't satisfy her. check there is a missing link "somewhere". It can lead to a strong crave for sex.James 1:14(Amp)" But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion).”
4. Again , if not dealt with on time , it really can bring a lot of unwanted "issues" into a man's life. Both spiritual and physical harmful effects. Masturbation is a playground for demons to invite other wicked spirits into your life .you hear of people going from one problem to another, masturbation attracts them . Masturbation is an unclean habit and that is where demons dwell in  unclean places . check ?. Why ? It is an unclean spirit . Eph 5:3(Amp)"But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith].”
5. It hinders or stops the presence of God from manifesting in your life, every bonafide child of God is suppose to be a carrier of God's presence. When you engage in it . You stop the flow of God's presence in your life. Roms 3:23 (Amp)"since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God." God does not dwell in unclean vessels .check?
6. It opens you easily for attack from the enemy. How ? whenever your spirit is weaken through the act ; you easily become a prey to Satan and his demons. Eccl 10:8"and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” 
7. Satan loves it because you make his job easier , when he comes to deal with you , when that edge is broken .Psalm 107:17"Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.” 
8. Satan can easily rob you of your blessings.why? because then you are already spiritually weak in your spirit. you cannot resist his attacks John 10:10a "The thief cometh not , but for to steal , and to kill ,and to destroy:” 
9. It saps your spiritual energy. When you are spiritually weak, praying becomes a task. And a Christian who can't pray , is already defeated. Luke 18:1 (Amp)"Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart,.”
10. It can lead to more depression, discouragement, weakness , when you discover it was just a waste of time. Gal 6:8(Amp)"For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.” 

11. It breaks your communication with God because of guilt and condemnation. Remember the Accuser of the brethren. He will never fail to remind you , what you just did ! Rev 12:10b (Amp)"for the [a] accuser of our [believing] brothers and sisters has been thrown down [at last], he who accuses them and keeps bringing charges [of sinful behavior] against them before our God day and night.”

 12. It causes the presence of God to depart from you. why? God cannot behold sin , so at that moment he leaves "unwillingly" because you are his child . Don't let him go next time !Remember what happened to Samson in the book of Judges 16:20b (Amp)"She said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as I have time after time and shake myself free.” For Samson did not know that the Lord had departed from him.”

 13. It can delay the blessing from coming .How ? Well , that is simple . You and I know that sin will always stop the blessing from coming.Period! Isaiah 59:2 "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God , and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”

 14. God sends his angels regularly to deliver our blessings to us , when they come , they are prevented by the demons from gaining access , because at such moments the demons are in charge of your gates. Light and darkness are not friends . Note. Isaiah 60: 11 (Amp version) "And your gates shall be open continually , they shall not be shut day or night , that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations -and their kings led in procession [ your voluntary captives]" masturbation shuts the gates. 

15. It can make you to lose hope . Why ? A man that feels guilty of his sins , will always want to keep away from God like Adam in the garden of Eden . Gens 3:10 (NIV)"He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

word of encouragement:

" 1 peter 5:7 "  hand it over to Him and  you stop worrying about it . He will surely help .Amen

Prayer: Father restore back all I have lost as a result of this sinful habit in my life in Jesus name , Amen. Listen you will surely overcome it in the name of Jesus, Amen. Be strong !!  

Zech 8:13 (NLT) .

 LOVE YOU !

You are blessed !!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF LUKE 5:4 

"Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.”

12 KEYS -WHEN YOU LAUNCH YOUR FAITH INTO THE DEEP (UNKNOWN).

1. When launching your faith into the deep , you are what I call "on your own" . Don't try to look for support . It is your faith in God and God alone. If you keep trying to look for support , you might begin to doubt your convictions and draw back. Jesus went to the cross alone.  .John 19:17 (NLT)"Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, [Golgotha]).”
2. Your "conviction" about what you believe is possible is you "alone" .It is God that has given you  the grace and ability to believe it. Don't try to convince people to believe it with you , some might believe it , but majority will think you are mad or crazy . so it is better to just work out your convictions yourself , God who gave you the grace will see you  through it . Amen. .1 Cor 16:13,14( Msg)" Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you've got, be resolute, and love without stopping.”
3. One major key to launching your faith into the deep is the power of persistence . Against all hope Abraham believed , the more persistent you are , the more you will continue to believe it ( the impossible) Luke 18:8(Amp)"I tell you that He will defend and avenge them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [this kind of persistent] faith on the earth?”
4. Launching your faith into the deep , is what I call a long journey on your own . people might assist you along the way , but they will never go along with you to the end . Why? they also have their own vision too . so let them go .never try to convince any one to come back . why ? God's love and support is what you need to get the job done . Isaiah 26:4(Amp)"Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner],For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].” Listen, God always bring the right people long your path to help you , so don't try to force anyone . Trust Him to do it for you.
5. When launching your faith into the deep , get ready to pray . Why? the deeper the prayer, the deeper the faith gets into the deep .And most times such prayers is done in isolation , so don't fret yourself when you don't have a prayer partner to pray with you . pray yourself . Luke 5:16 (NLT)"But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.".
6. When launching your faith into the deep , be prepared to face the persecutions and attacks from every side . Not to worry , you are in safe hands (God) . the persecutions only drives your faith more into the deep becoming more better and more convinced about what you believe. 2 Cor :17(Amp)"17 For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]!”
7. When launching your faith into the deep , trust is a major key , if you are going to survive in the deep (unknown) . you just have to trust God and not rely on your own understanding , because if you do , you might give up on the way .Remember Prov 3:5(NLT)"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding." 
8. When launching your faith into the deep , peace is one of the ropes you use in carrying your faith down into the deep , because in the deep their will be terrible storms , but the weapon of peace will always help you while in the deep. your peace helps you to focus on what you believe . John 16:33(Amp)"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]”
9. When you are getting close to your mega testimony , get ready for the raging of the enemy . the attacks can become very fierce . but do not relent, trust and trust God. Isaiah 26:4 (Amp)"Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner],For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].”

10. When launching your faith into the deep , get ready it is against all hope . don't look out for any signs , because you won't see any . but only hope, if you still insist on going with your journey .Rom 4:18 (Amp)"In hope against hope Abraham believed that he would become a father of many nations, as he had been promised [by God]: “So [numberless] shall your descendants be.”

11. When launching your faith into the deep , get ready it always looks like a hopeless case . but hope against all hope will give birth to hope because God is the source of the hope you have. Roms 15:13 (Amp)"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.”

12. When launching your faith into the deep , expectation is key . Always be expectant that today is the day you are going to hit it . Always be expectant ! Is key to getting results when in the deep. Lam 3:25 (Amp)"The Lord is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul;“Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.” 

Personal quote:

"It is in the deep you will find your hidden treasures- unthinkable wealth"

Prayer: Father teach me Lord how to launch my faith into the deep in the name of Jesus , Amen. 

You are blessed !!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH 29:11



"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."



10 THOUGHTS THAT GOD QUICKENS IN OUR SPIRIT WHEN WE ARE FACED WITH CHALLENGES. 



1.Thoughts of patience - He quickens His thought of patience , when He is working behind the scenes on that particular issue we re passing through .He encourages us with this thought , not to fret , but to be patient and trust Him. Book of proverb says it better like this in chapter 3 :9(NIV)"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;"
2.Thoughts of peace -Most times , He quickens this thought of peace .1.when He has something good coming for us . Job 22:21"Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you." " 2. When He is still fine-tunning our character in preparation for our next test . psalm 105:19 (NLT)"Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph's character."
3.Thoughts of Favor - He quickens this thought in our spirit , by reminding us of  past favour's ,people He has favored and causes us to desire to be favored . At such time , a blank cheque is presented , it is now left for you to "specifically" ask what kind of favor you desire ? Phil 4:6 (Amp)"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God."
4.Thoughts of goodness -Can come in different ways . I illustrate it with this example - He brings to our mind at times , material things we desire , by showing us pictures of them , at that point is up to you to receive it with joy or despise the picture , because of your present circumstances. But know this one key , it is the lord showing you His goodness .Matt 12:35"A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things."
5.Thoughts of mercy - Especially when we are offended towards someone , He quickens the thought of mercy in our heart  and again is left for us to take the step to show mercy or choose not to.But here is the key - Mercy will open the kind of door (opportunity) that normally it would take fervent prayers to open. Roms 9:16(Amp)" So then [God’s gift] is not a question of human will and human effort, but of God’s mercy. [It depends not on one’s own willingness nor on his strenuous exertion as in running a race, but on God’s having mercy on him.]"
6. Thoughts of riches - He brings this thoughts often , when He desires to bless us in ways above our imagination. Now , this one works on the principle of sowing for a harvest. He creates that desire in you to be rich and then He lays it in your heart to sow . Sometimes a sacrificial seed , depending on your financial desire .2 Cor 9:10 (NIV)"Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness."
7.Thoughts of joy -your harvest of joy will not come unless you remain joyful in the midst of your storms . Whenever He quickens the thoughts of joy , you need to quickly grab and activate it in your inner man . Why? You never can tell how close you are to your breakthrough when He quickens it . Isa 64:5(AKJV)"You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved."
8.Thoughts of hope - Is a battle , i tell you .I have seen my spirit , almost fall into a state of deep depression , that it was like standing in front of a pit, looking down into a very deep hole , but my hope in Jesus , was like an anchor, that wouldn't allow my spirit fall into the pit of depression. I discovered , as long as you hope is in Him , you can't sink , no matter how hard the devil tries . His Spirit in us , is what sustains us in Him. Hebrews 6:19 (NIV)"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,".
9.Thoughts of marriage - For my single brothers/sisters He quickens this thought in our spirit , just to remind us , it is on the way . you might not see any sign of it , but man is a spirit being , that operates from the inside outside not from the outside inside . so when He quickens the thoughts of marriage in your spirit , forget how long you have been waiting , it is on the way , grab it , pray with it and thank Him with joyful expectation . Lam 3:25 (Amp)"The Lord is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for Him, to those who seek Him [inquire of and for Him and require Him by right of necessity and on the authority of God’s word]."
10.Thoughts of Children - For the barren , you will never miss it , if you truly love children , He will give you the opportunity to carry other peoples children , make you to feel and desire it in your spirit .Why? He works with your desire not your wants . He quickens it in your spirit to build your faith and to trust Him that surely you will carry your own children . Psalm 37:4-5(Amp)"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.5 Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass."

"When you verbalize a thought , you give it the right to come to pass"

PRAYER : Father align my thoughts with your thoughts in Jesus name , Amen.

You will testify in Jesus name , Amen.

"Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.” 

10 POWERFUL KEYS WHEN GOD SAYS "BE STILL"(HOLD YOUR PEACE)

1. Hold your peace and recognize who I am . Gen 1:1(Amp)"In the beginning God ([Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth. " He can create your miracle , out of nothing .
2. Have a knowledge of who I am and hold your peace . And this knowledge comes from studying and meditating on the word of God. Simply put -2 Tim 2:15 (Amp)"Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth. "
3. Watch this, why "be still"? See what I see , God already has a plan you don't know yet , to glorify His name in that "thing " you are passing through now . Isaiah 14:24(Amp)"The Lord of hosts has sworn [an oath], saying, “Just as I have intended, so it has certainly happened, and just as I have planned, so it will stand— “
4. Why be still? If it is not going to glorify His name as your helper , your deliverer , your way- maker , your King and Lord of the universe why would He now allow it ? what would now be the purpose of what you are passing through ? listen , there is only one answer .Roms 8:28 (Amp)" And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. "it is working for your good .Why? He knows what to do to give you the comfort you need , He knows what to do to compensate you adequately . Heb 10:35(NIV)"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.”
5. When He says "be still" it means your case is not over yet ! So never conclude , what He has not concluded in your life . Be still !!1 Peter 5:11(Msg)"It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.”
6. Be still! What is God trying to say to you ..Listen all things are possible with me , be still and know me . Jer. 32:27 (NIV)" I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?".When Joseph was thrown into the pit , he never thought rescue would come , but it did . Why? God was with him . Listen He is with you , don't turn your back now that you are so close to your testimony . Remember Psalm 126:1 "A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.”
7. Be still! Take into remembrance the case of Job in scripture , a multi-billionaire in his days , who lost everything he had , and became terribly sick even to the point of death , yet he still had hope in this God , that He would change his story and what happened ? God did , God did . why not you ? Job 14:14 (Amp)"If a man dies, will he live again? I will wait all the days of my struggle Until my change and release will come.”
8. Be still !! What is God saying from the book of Isaiah 48:11(NIV)" For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another." friend only be still and let Him do what He has promised you . Amen.
9. Be still ! What is God still saying here - Hold on to my word . hold on to my word (promises) Jesus the word cannot fail you . for you have being bought with a price . Isaiah 66:9(NIV)"Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God." will God lead you to the point of your miracle and abandon you there? If you know like I do , that He cannot do it , then do what I would do . Trust Him.Psalm 37:40"And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.” 
10. Be still! And do what? Just begin to thank Him , if not for Him , you won't be reading this now , if not for His mercies , you won't be receiving this word of encouragement from Him now . your story is about to change now in the name of Jesus , Amen. Be still ! 2 Cor 1:4 (Amp)"who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. “

Personal quote:

"your peace is a weapon against the enemy" John 16:33 (NLT)

Prayer: Father help me to become still in the midst of my trial ,knowing fully well who you are , my helper and deliverer in Jesus name , Amen.

Bless you !

"I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”


10 KEYS -WHEN YOU FAINT AND GET WEARY .

1. What you believe at that level when you faint from the weariness and challenges of life will sustain you .David still believed. Despite the fact that he fainted .he believed! Jesus said in John 11:40 (NLT)"Jesus responded, "Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believe?”
2. Despite the fact that he fainted , he still had one key in his heart " knowledge" Knowledge of what ? THE TRUTH .God Said in the book of Hosea 4:6 (Amp)"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.”
3. He fainted yet he was still courageous . God told Joshua in chapter 1 verse 7 (NLT)"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.”
4. Despite the fact that David got to the level of fainting (deep discouragement) he still believed it was not over yet .Now here is the secret why you most not give up like David found in the book of phil 1:6 (NLT)"And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”
5. What you see at the point of fainting is of utmost importance . David saw the lord's goodness and He received it .why? what he saw , the lord was already watching over His word "his goodness" to perform it . Jer. 1:11,12(Amp)"Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch or shoot of an almond tree [the emblem of alertness and activity, blossoming in late winter].Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.”
6. What you "see" God is committed to performing it at that level . Now here is the key - God asked Abraham to go outside and look for all he saw would be given to him . So what you see God is committed to perform, even at that level when all hope seems lost . Still believe what you see. Amen. Gen 13:14,15(Amp)"The Lord said to Abram after Lot had left him, Lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;""For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your posterity forever.”
7. This is another revelation of proverb 23:7 ....wrong thoughts will always produce negative results at the level of your fainting. just like right thinking will always produce right results . Don't allow your thoughts to waver now, is a sign you are very close to your breakthrough. Note James 1:6,7 (Amp)"Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind.7 For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord,". you can only receive when you choose to hold on and not doubt.
8. Read again what David said "unless he had believed to see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living " not the land of the dead . so as a child of God , your case is not over . why? you are the child of a LIVING GOD not a dead god. So your case is different . Psalm 42:2(NIV)"My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?”
9. The word of God is your strength. David received strength when he believed.Isaiah 30:15 (NIV)"This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.”
10. Finally David did not doubt what he saw by faith. Key - what you divinely see by faith hold on to it by faith . Mark 11:22 (Amp) Jesus said "And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly].”
