Courage Comes From Faith - you and I must shake off discouragement and rise up with courage. We must quit looking at our own abilities and failures and limitations and start looking to God. We must rise up in the Name of Jesus and the power of His Spirit and establish the kingdom of heaven upon earth. Realize who you are and what you’ve been given by the power of God. Quit letting the devil run all over you. God didn’t suggest that you be strong and courageous. That is His command

“Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” - (Joshua1:9).

Courage comes from trusting God.

It can’t be mentally drummed up. 

It comes from believing what God says regardless of what the circumstances look like. 

Courage comes from faith!

Where does discouragement come from? 

From fear and unbelief. 

It comes when you listen to the devil’s lies about what God is not going to do for you.

As the people of God, you and I must shake off discouragement and rise up with courage! 

We must quit looking at our own abilities and failures and limitations and start looking to God. 

We must rise up in the Name of Jesus and the power of His Spirit and establish the kingdom of heaven upon earth.

If you’ve been discouraged lately, stop listening to Satan’s lies. 

Stop receiving evil reports. 

Whenever someone tells you God is not going to deliver you, you tell them, “He’s already delivered me in the Name of Jesus.”

Once you begin to realize who you are and what you’ve been given by the power of God, you’ll quit letting the devil run all over you. 

God didn’t suggest that you be strong and courageous. 

That is His command!

You can live free from fear - it is possible to live free from fear in this dangerous and unpredictable world. To abide in the shadow of the Almighty is to live in continual union with Him, keeping His Word and obeying His voice. But it's not a promise that's offered to just anyone; only to those who abide in the Lord. Protection is a solid promise of God. He shall surely deliver you. Those who abide in the Lord can live without dread of what the devil will do

Be strong and courageous - courage based on faith is the universal attitude for saints in all situations. Our eyes love to play tricks on us, but we walk by faith, and not by sight. And it's faith that inspires courage, for our God is an awesome God. There is never a time when "Be strong and take courage!" is an irrelevant or redundant message. The message of courage bears repeating again and again. "Be strong and very courageous! Do not be frightened or dismayed"

He will cover you with his feathers - the Lord is likened to a bird whose wings of protection overshadow us and whose strong-arm guards us when danger approaches or when we are overcome by the heat of the day or the perils of the night. When we are in Christ and resting in Him, He becomes our Rock of salvation and the perfect Shelter from every kind of danger. He is our guaranteed security and our secure hiding place that can never be moved. He is the One in Whom we are to place our trust
