hey everybody how are you I pray you are blessed I don't know where you are
across the globe so it could be morning it could be a me
it could be noon it could be nighttime for you wherever you are
across the globe I just want to share with you what the Lord had placed on my
heart and then pray for what it is that the Lord placed on my heart amen and so
I wanted to address the spirit of discouragement
I know oftentimes people get discouraged whether it is discouragement that has
been brought on about about from people who have done things to them to
discourage them maybe people have disappointed you
maybe circumstances have not gone the way that you think they should have been
but the Lord was just dealing with me and letting me know that discouragement
is trying to rain heavy upon God's people and so I want to encourage you
with Psalms chapter 40 and Psalms chapter 40 says I waited patiently for
the Lord and He inclined unto me and heard my cry what you have to know and
understand is that if you wait patiently on the Lord he will incline unto you and
hear your cry no matter what you are facing no matter what you are going
through God is hearing your cry God sees Amen where other people may not see or
other people may not care about what you are going through what you're facing and
even the enemy's attacks against you God sees and he hears your cry amen and then
it says and he brought me up up also out of a horrible pit out of the miry clay
and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings this means that
when you call unto the Lord you fix your eyes to be able to say okay God I know
that things have come towards me to discourage me but instead of me doing
those things that have cut aiding in and feeding into those things that have come
to discourage me I'm going to cry unto the Lord speak to the Lord go into
secret place with the Lord and then I know
he'll hear my cry and he will bring me out of the horrible pit and out of the
miry clay and he will set my feet on a rock and established my goings and we
have to get to a place where we know that see this the psalm is he knew that
he said okay I'm going through a lot I'm doing a lot I'm seeing a lot I'm
experiencing a lot I'm a distraught I am a discouraged you don't even know the
half of what I've been through is what the psalmist was saying and he said but
I waited patiently on the Lord and he inclined his ear unto me and heard my
cry and he brought me out of this pit he placed my feet on a rock and he has
established my goings and so it's discouragement is a trick of the enemy
to get you to not see where God is truly trying to take you do not allow the
spirit of discouragement to sway you left or to sway you right but continue
to move forward with what God has called you to do continue to trust that God has
a plan for you continue to trust that God will not lead you astray and that
God will not hurt you and that God will comfort you when the enemy tries to
bombard you with her amen and so don't allow the spirit of discouragement to
arise but know that you can always go to God know that you can always say Lord
you see this Lord you see my situation so Lord as the psalmist has said I know
you will take me out of the miry clay place my feet upon a rock and
established my goings and so that's a declaration you should make and say Lord
establish my goings whenever the enemy tries to bring discouragement your way
say Lord established my goings and you say I know this is going on
I know so-and-so said this about me I know this person's jealous of me I know
whatever the case may be but Lord your word says that you established my goings
and so lord I know that the enemy wants me to receive discouragement but lord I
receive that you will establish my going and then it says and he has put a new
song in my mouth even praise unto our God many shall see it in fear and shall
trust in the Lord you have to get to a point where discouragement is not an
disappointment is not an option but you will allow the Lord to put a song in
your heart yes you you had to cry your tears too to explain your situation to
the Lord well yes you had to pour yourself forward to the Lord you had to
pour your heart out to the Lord but that was only so he can do his job that was
only so he can handle the rest not amen and so you go to the Lord he
establishes your goings Amen and he puts a song in your heart you don't harbour
with all that stuff you don't go leaving the house all sad long faced off Oh Matt
all discouraged oh the devil beat me up today no don't allow the devil to beat
you up don't allow the devil to place the Scourge we see people sometimes when
they they feel like the devil beat them up
only if they deny God no the devil is beating you up when you walk in a place
of discouragement if your posture is discouragement if your posture is defeat
then the devil has beat you up and you don't want to be in a place where you
are allowing the devil to beat you up it reminds me of hallelujah it reminds me
of a little David he had he volunteered to fight this giant named Goliath amen
and so Goliath was intimidating some people would say or even try to
purposefully intimidate David but David said who is this uncircumcised
Philistine you're not about to discourage me you are you think you're
coming to defeat me but what you don't realize is in my day in my pastime I
don't kill some wild animals so you are all giant our light work and that is
what you have to get like in the spirit towards the enemy and say you o enemy
our light work because the Word of God says and begin to repeat the Word of God
you can't settle for the trick of the enemy to discourage you because guess
what discouragement brings about sorrow and sorrow brings about feeling unworthy
and then you always want to wallow in mess and then you begin to call yourself
just a filthy rag and then once you think you're just a filthy rag
you start not doing stuff you stay at home stay sleep all day never do
anything you don't want to be a Christian no more
and so discouragement is an open door for so many other things and that's why
the enemy tries to make it look so subtle because if he makes it look
suddle people will be like oh I'm just discouraged today oh this just
discouraged I thought this is this is so I got discouraged no we don't have place
for that we don't have place for that any time you feel yourself about to get
discouraged you go to the Word of God and begin to declare the Word of God
every time you feel discouraged amen and so it says that he put a new song in
your mouth even praise unto our God many shall see it and fear is your trust in
the Lord and so when the enemy tries to put you in that place of discouragement
what you have to do is you have to receive the song of the Lord that the
Lord is trying to place in your heart remember whenever the enemy tries to
deposit something in someone the God wants to deposit something in you also
which one will you choose the song of the Lord or the defeat of the enemy the
discouragement of the enemy and so rich for that song hallelujah pull in the
spirit Lord give me a song today and begin to sing the song of the Lord begin
to have joy in your heart begin to be that walking billboard of peace and of
hope amen if you the Christian is discouraged
where is the hope for those in the world who don't know Jesus amen amen
and then the next verse says blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust
and respect if not the proud nor such as turn aside until eyes hallelujah make
the Lord your trust don't allow defeat and discouragement when you get
discouraged it actually shows that we have no trust in the Lord discouragement
means that you believe there's no hope for you that you believe that your state
right now is your final state and so discouragement takes away from how
sovereign you believe the Lord to be because God is always sovereign but when
you operate in discouragement and defeat it takes away how sovereign you believe
the Lord to be amen and we should always believe he is completely sovereign and
then it says many Oh Lord my god are they
wonderful works which thou has done and thy thoughts which are uh stored they
cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee if I would declare and speak of them
they are more than can be numbered so then he goes to praise the Lord he's
like I I gotta go to praise You Lord because when I needed you and waited
patiently on you you inclined your ear to me and you heard my cry you heard my
supplication and so and then you gave me a song you took me out of the miry clay
you placed me on the rack you stopped it established my goings you gave me a song
so now my god so now I gotta give you praise I gotta give you praise
I gotta worship you I got a glorify you because you're worthy to be praised amen
and then if we go down a little bit more it says I have preached righteousness
verse 9 says I skip down to verse 9 it says I have preached righteousness in
the great congregation lo I have not refrained my lips o Lord thou knowest I
have not hit the righteousness within my heart I've declared thy faithfulness and
thy salvation I have not concealed thy loving-kindness
and thy truth from the great congregation this one is big because
what the enemy wants to do when he tries to get God's people to walk into a place
of discouragement and defeat he wants people to get to a place where they
refrain from speaking of God's goodness and God's righteousness loving kindness
because it says I have I have not had died righteousness within my heart but I
have declared your faithfulness and salvation I have not concealed thy
loving-kindness and I truth from the great congregation when you are
discouraged you begin to it's like you you you buckle up and you don't speak of
the goodness of God because you don't believe he's good that's why you're
discouraged and that's what the enemy is trying to do to people don't let him
defeat you you look at him he tries to come to you like this giant and bring
these things in your space you just say you uncircumcised philistine my God is
bigger than you you are not a giant compared to my god but what you are is
an uncircumcised philistine we have to quote the Word of God and then it says
withhold not by tender mercies from me O Lord let thy loving-kindness and thy
truth continually preserve me for innumerable evils have come past me
about mine iniquities have taken hold upon me so that I am NOT even able to
look up they are more than the hairs of my head therefore my heart fail with me
and so he's saying this is what's going on around me I'm in a place where I
should be completely defeated I should be acting like I'm defeated I should be
feeling defeated but guess what he says in verse number 313 be pleased O Lord to
deliver me O Lord make haste to help me and let them be ashamed and confounded
together that seek after my soul to destroy it so he goes on to say Lord
this is my case after he has praised the Lord after he has put his supplication
to the Lord and then if we skip down he says let all those that seek thee
rejoice and be glad in thee let such as love thy salvation say continually the
Lord be magnified then he says but I am poor and needy yet the Lord
thinketh upon me thou art my help in my deliverer make no tarrying oh my god and
so he ends this whole thing he starts it off by saying I waited patiently for you
and you heard my cry and then he begins to magnify the Lord and he ends this
whole thing with saying let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in
thee not be defeated not be discouraged no matter what they're going through he
explained everything was going through but he says this is the fact of the
matter let every one rejoice and be glad in God and let such as love thy
salvation say continually the Lord be magnified in everything you do
everything you face let the Lord Jesus Christ head is be mad
defied in and through you let the Lord be mad I'm telling you because then
we'll we go to verse 17 it says but I am poor and needy yet the Lord thinketh
upon me God knows your situation he knows what people have done to you what
people have said about you he knows your childhood situation he knows the
situation get in right now he knows what how your boss tried to get you fired he
knows how the devil tried to discourage you he knows all this stuff and it says
he's looking he he thinketh upon you he sees this stuff he sees it but after all
of that in all of that around all of that and through all of that let the
Lord be magnified is what you are supposed to say let the Lord be
magnified and so I want to encourage each and every one of you guys don't be
discouraged the spirit of discouragement it's trying to take people out it's
trying to take people down and it looks so simple it just looks so small oh I'm
just discouraged as what people say it just looks so small it's so simple and
so so normal people have been acting like that's such a normal thing to go
around discouraged and defeat it but it is not God does not want to discourage
God wants you to trust in him like a never before God does not want you to
operate in this place of defeat but he wants you to know that hallelujah by
faith you overcome the Bible says this is the victory that overcometh even our
faith our faith so it is our faith that gives us victory it is our faith that
allows us to overcome Amen as I want to pray with you right now
hallelujah hallelujah father God in the name of Jesus I just asked that you just
begin to go into the hearts and the lives in the situation of each and every
one of your sons and daughters Lord God I pray right now in the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth that you begin to captivate their hearts Lord God that no
matter what situations each and every one of your sons and daughters may be
facing that they will be able to say let the Lord be magnified that they
will be able to shine hallelujah disappointment and discouragement when
it tries to creep up and take over the heart and take over the mind and take
over the lives and that each and every one of your sons and daughters will
stand up against the Giants that the enemy tries to place in their life and
say I will call it uncircumcised philistine exactly what it is and I will
stand halleluiah against it with the authority of God and
let God be magnified in my life and through my life and through my speech
and through my actions Lord I pray in the name of Jesus that you even begin to
comfort those that are mourning God those who are in situations they don't
know how to get through they feel by themselves I pray right now in the name
of Jesus that you begin to captivate each and every one of them gon hold them
and wrap them in your arms God begin to speak to them tonight that send your
ministering angels to minister to them even as they sleep when they wake up
Lord God let them feel your angels around them comforting them let your
Holy Spirit be the comforter that he is to them Lord Jesus in the name of Jesus
I pray God that every single person's situation God that they're going through
that you are using to build them with Lord God I pray that not one person try
to take themselves out of the building process but that they allow you to build
them into the person and the warrior that you have called them to be how they
know you in the matchless and undefeated name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray
a then God is trying to build people remember Romans eight hallelujah Romans
eight and twenty eight it says that all things work together for good of those
who love the Lord were called according to his purpose all things work together
for the good of those that love the Lord were called according to his purpose
what does that actually mean sometimes people quote the scripture all the time
they're like also that means all things gonna work too good but what does it
really really mean it means that that that thing that came to discourage you
God is going to take it to make you stronger that's why you
cannot allow things to discourage you you have to say oh wait this is supposed
to build my strength today I'm not about to fall into discouragement because this
is a test from God because I'm supposed to allow this to make me go from faith
to faith I'm so so loud that's to make me go higher this is not supposed to
make me defeat it mad bitter angry and all this foolery no that's not the plan
of God for your life the plan of God is for everything to work for good how they
do it because you love him and are called according to its purpose amen the
plan of God is for you to rise above and overcome like the scripture said this is
the victory we've overcome by our faith amen and so we need to have that victory
knowing that we've overcome because we have faith not because we're defeated
and discouraged amen and so just know that God is building you whatever it is
he's building you what they said about you he's building you maybe he's
building your character in the midst of them acting characterless and speaking
ill of you maybe God's trying to build your character maybe God's trying to
train you as to how not to talk to people as to how not to deal with people
in the midst of so-and-so being jealous of you maybe God is trying to teach you
not to be jealous of people or he's trying to teach show you these things so
maybe you can grow past it maybe it is teaching you character maybe people
being jealous of you is teaching you how to close your mouth maybe people
speaking against you is teaching you how to be humble maybe lack of finances is
teaching you how to be responsible with your finances or teaching you how to
trust God amen everything is going to work together for good God is going to
bring a testimony out of everything whether it is a test from God
or whether it is something that enemy is trying to throw at you God is gonna work
at all too good for you who loves the Lord and are called according to his
purpose believe it know it and receive it you
