Defeating Discouragement

Hebrews 10:23-25 KJV — Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Discouragement is a church (corporately and individually) killer. Discouragement will cause us to veer from that which is true.

When God causes us to be unwavering, Discouragement pushes us out of perfect alignment.

Discouragement will cause us to avoid the very body of believers that we so desperately need. Discouragement will weave the lie that being alone and cut off is better that being united with fellow believers of like precious faith.

The remedy is that we “Hold Fast” but not to just anything. We must hold fast to the truth!

We must hold fast to the confession of our faith and hope!

We must hold fast to Christ!

Knowing that because He is faithful, we can be too!

We must stir one another, provoke one another, encourage one another to godly love and good works.

We must gather each other close in to the bonds of peace and remind one another that we are pilgrims and are headed to a greater place, the Kingdom of God!

You may know someone who is discouraged, share this with them and encourage them to HOLD FAST to their faith in the Faithful God!
