What do you do when you’re battle chooses you ?
What do you do when something shows up on your doorstep
that you did not directly cause , choose or definitely anticipate?
Life is not always easy, some of you today you’re here and you’re
going through the toughest season of your life .There will be
seasons of real pain. But the question is ,how will you respond
in those moments?
Life is hard sometimes .Easy. Its not an option but it’s worth fighting,
it’s worth believing. It’s worth mastering yourself up, standing up
inside yourself. Its worth fighting relentlessly, never giving up.
It’s worth it. You can do it.
There are problems that we go through that causes stress, anxiety,
worry and fear, but you might be in a battle of your life. I wanna
encourage you, its not about what’s happening around you ,it’s
always about what’s happening inside of you .
Just because you feel afraid, doesn’t mean you have to be afraid.
Just because you feel discouraged, doesn’t mean you have been
discouraged. Just because you have fear doesn’t mean fear has to
have you.
The sentence out of your mouth is a story that you are putting
out “I’m not gonna make it “,,,,'”I quit” “I’m a failure” “Business is
never coming back” “we’ve lost too many people” “I’ve made
too many mistakes” “Nobody can help me” I’ve done too many
bad things” I don’t know what comes out of your mouth but it’s
death sentence. And as you continue to confess it, and as you
continue to declare it, well don’t be surprised when it becomes
true in your life.
We have to make sure that whenever I feel down, when I think of
a death sentence, I must speak a life sentence. Oh I’m feeling the
sentence of death, I’m feeling the thoughts of anxiety, I’m feeling the
thoughts that I’m done. I feel like I’ve been used and it hurts and it’s
difficult but when that happens, I start speaking out a life sentence.
No I’m just gonna keep showing up. No I gonna get a backup. The
righteous man ,he falls seven times but he gets up. Never give up.
Never give in. Becasue still can’t get you past certain things, quickness
agility, can’t you gotta have mental toughness. PAIN AIN’T PERMANENT
Your pain ain’t permanent. You can get through this. Your bigger than
your pain, you’re better than that.
Come on, you need to remember this is not the first time you cried. This
Is not the first you were hurt, this is not the first you did not see a way clear.
This is not the first time your heart was broken , this is not the first time you
did not have enough money, this is not the first diagnosis that came from behind.
Say I’m gonna live to tell the story. This too shall pass, I will remain. I’m not gonna quit
Every one of my burdens, there’s a blessing on the inside of it.
If you don’t quit, you will win, you gonna work through this. You gonna get up, you gonna get dressed, you gonna get out and you gonna do what you’ve been called to do, you gonna be what you’ve been called to be.
And you gonna prove to everybody that tried to break you.
Everybody that tried to stop you, everybody that tried to kill your dreams.
You gonna Prove all of them wrong. Just keep coming back. If you got nothing left to give up
I’m telling you right now, don’t give up. I’m telling you right now, don’t give in. Get through it. And if you get through it, if you can work through your pain. I am guaranteeing you on the other side is a reward. Pain is not permanent. Permanent is not temporary.
