DON'T GIVE UP! 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study 4/29-5/5

Greetings,

It is encouraging to have a word of comfort at a time of testing and trials! I thank God for such a word of life that I can share with you as the 52 in 2007 Basic Bible Truths study for week of April 29 to May 5: DON'T GIVE UP!

Don't Give Up by Larry Ollison, Ph.D.

Let me ask you a question. When you have a problem in your life, and you've done everything spiritually you know to do, what do you do then? When you have prayed and when you have confessed the confession of faith and it seems like nothing has changed, what do you do?

This seems to be a question often asked to those of us in the ministry. As a pastor of a growing church, this is a question that continually arises. So, what's the answer? What do we do when it seems like we've done all we can do and there is no manifestation of our deliverance?

This answer may seem simple, but here it is. Don't give up. When you know that you know that what you are believing for is God's will for you and promised in His Word, then do not quit doing what God has told you to do. Continue to believe God's Word and continue to confess His promise in the face of what you see and what you feel.

Second Corinthians 5:7 says, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." As believers it is disastrous to react on what we see, hear, or feel. Instead of reacting to the senses produced by the world, we must act according to the Word spoken by God. His Word brings deliverance and the words of the world bring destruction. When you feel like giving up, quit going by what you feel. Stand in faith and remember that Jesus said, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." (Mark 9:23).

Remember, you can do all things through Christ because He strengthens you to do the impossible.
