Just want I needed! So here are the notes I jotted down from Steven Davies' message on Encouragement/Discouragement.
ENCOURAGE= put heart in
DISCOURAGE= take heart out
causes of discouragement:
-sickness
-relationship discord
-maintaining purity in a dirty world
loss of:
-strengh
-vision
-confidence
-security
thoughts:
'God has forgotten me'
'God hides His face from me'
'God does not have the answer'
'God is gone'
---> We then begin to plan our steps instead of allowing God. We forgot that God has designed and has determined the length of our trials.
courage builders:
*encourage one another
*courage comes from instruction (Old Testament, Bible) - obedience =practise what I learned)
*courage comes from waiting on God
--->twist yourself like a grape vine aroung God!!!
