NEVER GIVE UP - God Is With You In The Battle - Motivational Video

[Music] today we're going to learn one lesson you may not need this lesson at this moment in your life but there will come a time when you need to hear this lesson first samuel clergy was for so david and the troops with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no strength left to weep the scenario if that david and his troops are returning back to ziegland from a fight only to find out that the families have been taken and there is a bigger battle to come and this situation is so relatable to

each and every one of you in the room today life is a fight and every single one of you is in the middle of a fight finds you to get the bills thing fights you to finish school fight you to keep your marriage away from divorce fight you to go to work fighting together promotion fighting traffic fight you to raise those kids fight it to even come home at time fight it for your health and what you and I both know about life is that life does not fight fair when you're in the middle fighting

for your help blew your car breaks down and there's another bill life is a fight this is where David is in his life he's in the middle of battle after battle after battle and at this point David's men had turned against and were ready to stone him he was at the brink of giving up and many of you today are the point where you're about to give up standing on the edge of failure where hell has thrown the kitchen sink at you and life is trained you of your resources and we're people that promise you

there will always be there have left at the point where David was many of you aren't at this point what did David do David encouraged himself his wife wasn't there his children wasn't there his commanders and his generals had left him but David encouraged himself at a point in your life you will have to encourage yourself your mama won't be able to do your daddy won't be able to do your pastor won't be able to do you will have to stand as an individual and talk to yourself I am a child of God I will

get through this this will not stop me greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world nowhere in the Bible this encouraged chemical everyone around David had given them and people around to you give up you need to have the understanding that they're not built like you recha is it that is it you that that is in the world when the going gets tough the child of God gets going when the odds are stacked against you when Hannah's coming in for the kill would retreat looks like the only option when

it looks like there's no way you'll be able to wake when your back is against the wall encourage yourself because at this moment that's when the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob loosens action his strength is made perfect in weakness at the point you're about to give birth at the point when you are tight that's when the Lord still comes into play David encouraged himself David was not eaten up by the spirit of pride when he encouraged himself in his own ability he had the understanding and the grounding to know where his source of power

was coming from and encouraged himself in that area the scripture says David encouraged himself in the Lord now the problem with you and me is we spend our time beating ourselves up about past mistakes past bad decisions past defeats and fails rather than encouraging ourselves in the Lord we serve next time you're in this situation you need to remind yourself and the battle you are facing who you serve remind yourself Exodus 14 verse 14 the Lord shall fight with me and I shall hold my peace reminds us of Deuteronomy 322 I shall not fail for

the Lord my god he shall faithfully remind us of the Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer whom shall I fear remind us of Romans 8:37 I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus reminds us of the vision 6 verse 10 be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might remind us of isaiah 54:17 no weapon formed against you shall prosper here is what I believe is the major problem in your life and in my life and it is summed up by the Lord Jesus Christ in a simple

sentence Matthew 22 verse 29 jesus replied to your mistake is that you do not know scripture and you do not know the power of God that is the foundational problem in our lives we do not know Scripture life can be unpredictable and this is one of the many reasons why we should have certain Bible verses memorized in our heart because in some situations you won't have the opportunity to open up the Bible an adverse situation could arise while you're at work and you may not have the time to stop and but but if you have

itaya 54 memorized you can whisper to yourself no weapon formed against me shall trust them speak the word into the situations in your life speak the Word of God into situation in your life memorize scripture that help you through situations that you are going through not only memorize the description but encourage yourself with it if you wake up in the morning knowing today is going to be a difficult game encourage yourself in the morning whilst you're in the shower talk to yourself declared deuteronomy 33:2 25 over your name as that name talk so shall thy

strength be the heart of their day the greater the strength God is going to give you the bigger the obstacle the bigger the strength God will give me to overcome it if you fighting an illness again remind yourself solved 118 verse 17 I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord this is not the end for me my story is not finished I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord stop relying with other people to pick you up this is the harsh reality truth is most people

don't care about this situation health is not on the way in terms of human health people can and will turn on you like to win people turned on the daily and he was a king David was a king the women used to sing and dance about them yet they turned ugly and you think you're exempt of such treatment people who turn away from you during tough times but you have a God who wants you to encourage yourself that's why the Bible says be strong in the Lord not in yourself but in the Lord your house

excuse me your body is the house of your spirit your human spirit but somebody else lives in your house it is not a single occupancy house what does that mean somebody else lives in here besides me who pray tell is in there with you greater greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world old friend what a statement what a statement what a statement that means no matter what comes against you out here the one who's in you is stronger bigger why is there greater it'll help you immensely it turns

when you feel weak to just lay your hands on yourself and say greater greater is He that's in me that he that's in the world the greater one is in me and the greater one lives big in me somebody needs to say that he is Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith and he is the Apostle and the high priest of our confession of what we say he works with what we say God is a spirit a speaking spirit and he creates with his words and you and I are made in his

likeness and image and we're supposed to imitate him as dear children and speak like he speaks and release faith like he releases [Music] take a look back through your life all the hell that you've been through or the heartbreak that you've been through all the fake friends the fake relatives when people talked about you all the hurdles you've overcome all the challenges you've faced he was with you [Music] he hasn't taken you this far to leave you in this situation God is for you he has plans to prosper you and not to harm you he

has a future and a hope for you this is not the end regardless of the situation you were going through this is not the end and number 2 psalms 30 verse 5 weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning this might be the time for you to cry but believe me you will get through this you will get through this we've remained true for a night but joy cometh in the morning [Music]
