SATAN'S GREAT SALE!

"Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged". Deuteronomy 1:21. My friend, stop saying "I don't know what to do, I can't get anywhere and nothing is working out for me and I doubt it ever will". See, the devil wants us to become discouraged because discouragement determines our failure or success. No battle is ever won WITH IT, and no battle is ever LOST WITHOUT IT. Have you heard about a "GREAT SALE" held by Satan where he offered his tools of his trade? There were malice, hatred, envy, sickness etc..- all the weapons people know well. But off to one side lay a harmless looking instrument marked "DISCOURAGEMENT". It was old and worn out yet priced far above the rest. When asked why it is so valued to him, the devil said, "See this is the easiest one to use, for no one knows that it belongs to me. With discouragements I can open a heart's door that is tight and bolted against my other tools. Discouragements makes a person give up and give in to me". But my friend, God has given us the power to conquer discouragements. That power is faith in God's word. When devil says, "You can't do it and you are a failure and you may as well quit trying, we reply "No, Philippians 4:13 says' 'I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me". In God's strength, I believe I can do it. Brother, when we guard the door of our heart with God's word and our attitude, the devil eventually will get DISCOURAGED AND LEAVE. Proverbs 24:10 says " If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small". You can easily determine the caliber of a person by the amount of opposition it takes to discourage him or her. Did this help you buddy? Really!
