Strength For Your Heart
Strength For Your Heart
by: Pastor Ryan Scheibel
Psalms 31:24, “Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.”
We have all experienced trials that never seem to end as it goes on and on and on. That’s how David felt on the run in the wilderness. Extended trials can lead us into discouragement and depression if we’re not careful. He made some really bad mistakes because he doesn’t pray! The general definition of depression is a constant feeling of sadness and loss of interest which stops you from doing your normal activities.
Sometimes, even as children of God, we go through times of depression and discouragement like David did and the devil loves to discourage us, get us depressed and to keep us there because discouragement is the opposite of courage!
Biblical courage is the ability to face uncertainty, adversity, danger or suffering with faith-fueled hope that God will keep His Word to us! God wants us to be courageous and brave!
One of Satan’s biggest goals is to discourage Christians because discouragement paralysis’s us from advancing Gods kingdom, diffuses and silences us from sharing the gospel and it gets us fearful and not being contagious and on fire as spirit-filled Christian evangelist!
Satan wants to prevent us from actively sharing our faith and being the hands and feet of Jesus! Satan uses discouragement and depression to weaken and deactivate us but God has the ability to strengthen your heart if you go to Him!
