Why Christians Should Never be Discouraged

As Christians, we are like officers of the law among a world of criminals. We are hated because we have surrendered to the other side. We betrayed the cause of evil and now stand for righteousness.

Look at how scripture describes this:

"We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed…" (2 Corinthians 4:8-9).

Jesus was never discouraged, and there's good reason for that. See if you can figure why:

"He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law" (Isaiah 42:4).

Look at the first four words: "He shall not fail…" There was more chance of a flea swallowing the sun than for God in Christ to fail.

And so, because of that knowledge, Jesus was never dis-couraged. He was never deprived of His courage.

There are times when we feel hard-pressed--when trials weigh heavy on us. But we must never let that fact take our courage from us, because we are in a cause that cannot fail. So hold onto your courage.

One way to strengthen that resolve is to make demons tremble by doing what Jesus did in the desert. Quote scripture. Let the enemy know where you stand. Memorize these verses and speak the Word boldly:

"If God is for us, who can be against us?...Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?...Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."

In Christ, we are "more" than conquerors. We don't just stand on the top of the mountain...we hover over it.
