29 April 2012  Discourage Discouragement…

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5: 7

 Discouragement is a powerful and effective tool used by satan against God’s people. Nobody can escape from this satanic attack (even in the bible  no saints could escape this.

Paul had divine  revelations but bothered by a thorn I the body- he calls it "messenger from satan” sent to to beat him.(2 cor12:7)

Paul  wished as well as repeatedly pleaded to God to  that the thorn could be removed. God strengthened Paul to learn to live with that.

Learn from this to live with your weakness and let all your mourning be turned to dancing..

Life in this era of scientific advancement with more gadgets and facilities life is filled with tension and stress. We are prone to more new diseases ( with no medicine to cure) .

Life has been hectic always for everyone.Satan uses all these to discourage us at the slightest provoke.

Bible has answers to all the problems. It tells us to cast all our anxieties on God because HE cares for us. Leave it at the Lord’s feet and donot carry it again.

 

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

 Be alert and of sober mind. 

Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  

 Resist him, standing firm in the faith,…1 Peter 5:7-9

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  

 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

This is the joy of the Lord, which turns to be your strength to resist the devil.

“Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings..  1Peter 5: 9

Faint not, nor fear; His arms are near;

HE changeth not, and thou art dear;

Only believe and thou shalt see

That Christ is all in all to thee.( John S.B. Monsell)

God bless…
