Discouragement

   My people are under attack. My people must remain very vigilant in this time that these attacks do not succeed in making you give up.

   You feel the attacks of discouragement, of the enemy trying to bring strife into your lives. Do not let strife take root, My children, or you will lose much time in trying to remove it.

   The enemy seeks to turn your lives into chaos in this time. He seeks to steal your peace and your joy and make you ineffective in Kingdom work by the inner turmoil strife and chaos bring.

   I desire you would fix your minds on Me and resist his attempts to take these gifts from you. It is My desire you would walk in peace, that you would have joy every day of your lives, that your joy would witness to others of what I offer them. The enemy desires this would not be so.

   Stand against these attacks, My children. Refuse strife and cast down thoughts of discouragement. Remember I am with you and set your mind on Me, that you may have joy and peace forevermore.                                                   

1 Peter 5:8-10

• 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
• 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
• 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
