DISCOURAGEMENT

This is primarily a strong weapon that can limit your advancement in your process of making. There are a huge amount of factors that can set barriers to your growth. You may have a big dream and desire, seeing that it lingers from coming to reality is enough to cause you to drawback. You have a certificate, applied to several places and no positive response, you may be discouraged, you have waited so long for the fruit of the womb and it seems it's not forthcoming, you may lose your firmness of God's promises. Well, discouragement is always an externally influenced pattern of thoughts in your heart. The environment may discourage you, family members may do it, church members may allow you to lose your courage, lack of job and circumstances around you may do. You must come to the point of raising your hope so high on the one who has called and known you. The one who is taking you through the process to make you stand out in your generation. To be discouraged is to lose CONFIDENCE in the process of your making. Loose confidence in your ability. Loose confidence in God. Loose confidence of any hope of a  great and glorious future. No, that's not you. All the external factors that display a pattern of loss in confidence within your heart must meet a strong opposing force within you. As a child of God, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit. You have an unusual strength inside. Once the force inside is bigger than the force 

coming from outside, you will win. The effect ruptured on you by the external factors won't last. You have picked up again. The force inside you has repelled the forces of discouragement.

Your confidence is now GODFIDENCE. You have greater force within you. 

It will be a lie to say that you won't find yourself in situations that bring tears and sorrow. The situation of stagnancy and barrenness. The situation was dominated by storm and all. But, you see, once you have a bigger force inside you, your strength to win is renewed like the eagle. The joy of the Lord in you becomes your strength. Yes, others say I am downcast, you will I am say lifted. Others say I am discouraged, you will say I am courageous in God. David faced one terrible situation when he and his soldiers lost their wives, kids, and all. His warriors lost it. It was terrible. David nearly lost it too. He wept and wept. His soldiers even wanted to stone him. But he ENCOURAGED himself *IN* the lord. There was a force in him bigger than the external discouragement. Man, rise. Get past the circumstances around you that are making you lose confidence in yourself and the God you carry.  I use to tell myself while I was waiting for certain stuff in my life and was too tired to go on, HOLD on a little more. The God inside you is working something out. GODFIDENCE became my watchword. Let it become yours too
