YOU WILL NOT BE DEFEATED !
No matter what happens, as long as God is still on His throne and hears and answers prayer; and
just so long as your faith in Him is intact, you cannot be defeated.
Not one person needs ever go down in defeat as long as his faith in God is intact. And the most wonderful thing is that He will even supply the faith, for He is the Author and Finisher of our
faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is the supplier of that faith, so how can we lose?
Perhaps right now you are defeated and you can see no possible path toward victory in your situation. Or maybe you are a backslider. Of course, under those circumstances, you are not having any spiritual results. You are not influencing
your loved ones or the members of your church or those where you work. They can sense your defeat and all the while you long for a life of victory, the only life that really counts. Look up and by
faith lay hold of the shield of faith. Do it now. Regardless of circum.stances, the shield of faith is able to quench ALL the fiery darts of the evil one. If it wasn't true, God's Word never would have said
it! Snares and Pitfalls
In continuing our examination of the pitfalls before us in our Christian walk,it has been my observation that an awful lot of people have negative thoughts.
They live a negative life and everything about them oozes with the contrary environment which they create. Whenever you are unfortunate enough to walk into their presence, even before a word is
spoken, you feel the downward pull of their attitude and you wonder, What is it?
Don't be a negative person ! Don't practice a constant attitude of defeat thinking that you might fail, so you won't even try. Or, you won't ask be-
cause you might be refused; you won't make a request lest you be embarrassed by having someone say, No. Therefore, you remain passive and as the old saying goes. You sit in your rocking chair and you stay there all your life. Finally,
when your last day comes, you find that you have never tried to do one thing simply because you were afraid of defeat, afraid of refusal. Get up out of that chair now! Say aloud, I'll try it!
And I guarantee that you will be surprised at
the results of your efforts.
You may be thinking that it's easy for me to say that. But do you know why I can make such a statement? Because that is the kind of life I have lived all of my days. I have lived that kind of existence because I refused to fix my eyes
on people. Instead, I have fastened my attention on God, and in Him there are no limitations and in His promises there is no defeat.
