sadness

Sadness

The fears of uncertainty opens the door to anxiety and sadness. These two ingredients have taken a toll on individuals regardless of age, religion or social status. Sadness eventually leads to various stages of depression - sometimes a mild case, but can lead to a more severe case if we do not get to the root of the cause. The cause may very in each individual, but the main root is non-fulfillment or a series of life disappointments.

Emotional- Word that comes to mind is "Roller coaster" Life can control us or we can control life to a certain point - I cannot and will not tell you we are in control of everything in our life, but for the most part, we are! Our mind is a battlefield - The mind is where everything begins and ends - Colossians 3:15
I let the peace of God rule in my heart and mind and I am thankful to God in all things.

Medical- most physicians would diagnose this as Bi-polar - Reality - we all have a mild case of Bi-polarism... There is not a living soul that has not experienced sadness or ups and downs at some point in their lives - Not one human alive!

Physical - Sometimes an illness or handicap can bring on a case of sadness or depression - When physically challenged, we must grasp the reality and learn to live with it the best we can - We were created to be resilient people... I can say this from great experience - I was born with a congenital heart defect - I was born with a single ventricle that back in my time, there was little hope of survival - but God had the final say and allowed me to remain on earth to bring this message to you today....

Spiritual - I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me

Confidence

I refuse to throw away my confidence no matter what I see.

I will not allow what I see to discourage me.

I will not allow what I see to pull me down and to make me throw away my confidence.

I make a decision that I will not throw away my confidence, because my confidence has a great reward. (Hebrews 10:35)

It may take a while, but I have patience. For in a little while, what He promised will manifest because I am the just, and I live by faith and because I live by faith, I will not shrink back. Because when I shrink back, God has no pleasure in me and my number one goal is to be pleasing to God. (Hebrews 10:38)

I maintain, therefore, an attitude of faith, a spirit of faith, a position of faith that is always pleasing to God. And, therefore, the manifestation will come; because I maintain my position of pleasing God by using my faith and holding fast to my confession and never letting it go. (Hebrews 11:6)

I will not draw back.

I will not shrink back, but I will have faith until the end, until the outcome, until what I believe is what I see. If I don’t see it, that won’t change what I believe. Because the reason I’m believing is first and foremost to be pleasing to God, then to see the manifestation.

The manifestation will come when I’m pleasing to God. And I choose to hold fast to faith, to confidence in this Word, and I will not let go.

I will not give up.

I will not let go of my confession no matter what I see, no matter what I feel, no matter what other people say or do, no matter how many people shrink back.

A thousand may fall on my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not approach me. It’s not coming near my dwelling place because I’m holding fast to my confession. (Psalm 91:7)
