REALITY
The word of God – is Reality
Written By:  Ahava © 2000
 
Psalms 42:11 (Amplified bible)
Why are you cast down, Oh my soul (inner self) and why should you mourn over me and be disquieted within me? Why so disturbed within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him who is the help of my countenance and my God.
 
2nd Corinthians 10: 5:
Inasmuch as we refute arguments and theories and reasoning’s and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ.
 
Hebrews 10:35-36:
Do not fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God and thus receive and carry away and enjoy to the full what is promised.
 
Hebrews 10:23:
So let us seize and hold and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess our acknowledgment of it. For He who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.
 
First Peter 5: 7:
Casting the whole of your care (all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
 
First Chronicles 28:29:
Be strong and courageous and do it. Fear not, be not dismayed, for the Lord God, your God is with you. He will not fail or forsake you until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
 
Isaiah chapter 49 15-16:
Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold I have imprinted you (tattooed a picture of you) on the palm of each of my hands, Oh Zion your walls are continually before me.
 
FALSEHOOD
The Deception of satan is Falsehood
 
DISCOURAGEMENT
Discouragement is the poison injected into your soul, the enemy of your will and the destroyer of your purpose. It is a spiritual tool used with constant, steady force, hitting and digging into the emotions through the process of the reasoning’s of the mind to weigh down the heart.
 
This process develops a disheartening of your spirit to prevent you from moving forward by creating obstacles through the emotions. It saddens your heart, which lowers your spirit, decreasing the strength of your physical body. You begin to go down slowly, fall and descend gradually. It brings you into a lower level, diminishing your strength and decreasing your power.
 
Discouragement brings constant negative assault against your mind to penetrate your will, to weaken your spirit, to drain your faith, to halt the moving forward with the purpose of God. It comes to defeat, undo and ruin the will of God. To bring you to a level below your authority, quenching and reducing your anointing. 

SOLUTION
Faith in God - is Your Solution  

ENCOURAGEMENT
Ephesians Chapter 5 verse 19:
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
 
ENCOURAGE:
The attitude of facing and dealing with anything or anyone recognized as difficult, troubling, harassing, and painful or dangerous. Facing and dealing with it according to God's wisdom instead of withdrawing from it. The determination to stand strong against every force that comes against you and consistently applying ones  
conviction in accordance with the word of God.
 
PRAYER
 
Dear Lord,

It is difficult for me to keep my mind clear while I'm standing in a position of war.
It is difficult for me to keep my mind focused and my emotions intact when those I love are so far away. My heart becomes disturbed and I begin to worry and have concern.

Help me Lord to know the true reality above all things which is the word of God.
Provide for me a safe time to read your word, so truth may rule within my heart.

The reality of your word tells me to be strong and courageous and not to fear.
(1st Chronicles 28:20) The reality of your word tells me to hold fast and not to waver in my trust in you.

Help me to exchange my discouragement for encouragement by building a relationship with you.

Amen.
