Defeat Discouragement 4 Secrets

We all deal with it Life is not fair We become discouraged, feel defeated, ready to quit Overcoming discouragement is a matter of getting rid of some things

Misery loves company Galatians 5:7 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits." If people pull you down – don’t hang around with them.

Misery loves company 4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. 5 They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 1 Peter 4:4-5 1 – Don’t hang with the wrong people!

Remember to forget Dwell on the good things Philippians 4:8-9 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

Remember to forget Forget the mistakes – learn from them. Philippians 3:13-14 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 2 – Forget the critics and nay-sayers.

Past is past Higher Ground – 2nd verse My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay Tho' some may dwell where these abound My prayer, my aim is higher ground. 3 – Don’t dwell on (live in) the past.

Roses have thorns Many expect life to be all roses, no thorns Get rid of the idea that all of life is good. Stop thinking that Christians have no problems or weaknesses.

Roses have thorns Job 14:1-2 1 "Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue. 4 – Thorns have roses.

Defeat discouragement 1 – Don’t hang with the wrong people. 2 – Forget the critics and nay-sayers. 3 – Don’t dwell on (live in) the past. 4 – Thorns have roses.

Hebrews 12:2-3 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
