2011-03-03T13:57:09-05:00 GCI info@gospel.com http://www.gospel.com/feeds/topics/discouragement http://truewoman.com/?id=1586 2011-03-03T13:57:09-05:00 Does Scripture memory sound like “just another thing to do” on an already overwhelming to-do list? What if you learned it was one of the greatest weapons with which to battle discouragement and depression in your life? Would that pique your interest a bit more? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/using-your-winter-to-win-your-battles-6233 2010-12-01T09:39:45-05:00 Discouragement and fear and drifting from God - those are your greatest enemies, not what faces you on your battlefields. This winter is not dead time or despair time. It's get ready time. What you do with your winter will decide whether you win or lose! http://truewoman.com/?id=1156 2010-09-08T11:25:39-05:00 But then it happened. Like falling dominoes, segment after segment of ten-foot tulling walls suddenly came crashing down. Gasps of horror preceded a deafening silence as we realized that hours of hard work now lay undone at our feet. http://truewoman.com/?id=1197 2010-08-31T16:40:00-05:00 While I was never a huge fan of that mopey little grey donkey, Eeyore, I never imagined how the shadow of gloom and doom that characterized his little world would one day permeate my own life. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/when-the-devil-pulls-your-string-6151 2010-08-12T10:50:12-05:00 It's time you defied that enemy in the conquering name of Jesus. It's time you say, "Go ahead, pull my string. But because I've got Jesus on my side, I'm not going to do what I've always done before. I am not your puppet anymore!" http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/taking-back-what-the-enemy-stole-6029 2010-02-18T09:46:45-05:00 The enemy may have his hand on something or someone right now he has no right to. It's time for you to follow General Jesus into the battle to take back what the enemy has stolen! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/when-you-charge-they-charge-3157 2009-09-22T14:04:06-05:00 As God starts to open doors and give opportunities, pray for the protection available in Jesus' Name - for you, for those you love. Pray against discouragement. Remember that serving the Lord is much like football. As soon as you start gaining ground spiritually, the other side starts to come after you. When you charge, they charge. That's something to be aware of, not afraid of. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/dot-fixation-2662 2009-09-15T16:29:24-05:00 God may be asking you right now, "So what do you see?" If it's just the dot in front of you, you will probably get it wrong. Let your Lord lift your eyes to the larger canvas on which today's dot is very small - the canvas of an all-powerful, all-loving Father working in your life and His unstoppable, eternal plan for you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/getting-out-of-the-valley-5734 2009-09-09T15:07:29-05:00 Discouragement and depression, they themselves are "foes" and "avengers" in our lives. And the darkness of the valley often causes us to succumb to our dark side, to emotional paralysis, or to giving up, until we make the choice to climb up on the mountain that takes us above all that - Praise Mountain. You may not feel like praising God, you probably don't. That's when you need to praise God the most. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%206:10-11&version=NIV 2009-09-03T17:51:57-05:00 When Jesus sent his disciples out he told them that if they were discouraged or found discouragement in a town that they should shake the dust off their feet and move on.
