How Not To Give Up

We all get them, those feelings of doubt, fear, lack of self confidence or self belief. What ever it is we want to achieve in life, no matter how much we want it, there will always be times when we will hit a wall and feel like giving up.

How not to give up can be difficult sometimes. Tough times even make the most motivated people want to give can this is completely normal. Despite the overwhelming feelings of wanting to just give up, it’s really a important time not to.

What Makes You Want To Give Up Easily

We often can identify the reasons for giving up before we identify the reasons not to. Each is driven by different motivations, yet there are a few human instincts that come into play here.

Mistaking Lessons For Failure: Not being able to see the roadblock for the lesson it is. Keep going anyway.

The Outcome Is More Important Than The Journey: Put more emphasis on the end result and dismissing the importance of how you’re getting to the end goal and grow along the way.

Seeing The Failure Before It Even Happens: Self-sabotaging yourself by creating the thought that it just won’t happen. This is usually down to limiting beliefs and lack of self-belief.

Lack Of Discipline: We must realize that achieving our dreams won’t fall into our Lap within a few weeks, it will take hard work and determination.

Adjusting To Changes: We must embrace changes in direction, the need to adjust ideas or finding that things evolve differently to how we originally imagined it and taking it as sign it’s not meant to work out. We need to be open to change and the natural evolution to something more amazing.

The Scary Power Of Negative Words

Words have power. Their meaning crystallizes perception that shape our beliefs, drive our behavior, and ultimately create our world. Their power arises from our emotional responses when we speak, or hear them. Just say the word fire, will barbecuing, or in a crowded building, or the workplace, and you’ll get three completely different but powerful emotional or energetic reactions.

It seems life is more of an energy flow than a collection of solid things. What this means for us is that if we stay conscious of the energy we contain, based on the emotions we feel, we can make deliberate choices that alter our frequency and create the realities we desire. If we are feeling down about something, we can choose to reframe the situation and raise our own spirits. With a renewed perspective and a higher, more positive energetic vibrations, we stand a much better chance of bringing good into our lives rather that bitterly repeating old mistakes.

Words are extremely powerful tools. For example in my childhood I was told by my mother, I was stupid, ugly, and would not amount to anything. Everyday of my childhood years this was repeated to me. Do you think her words were powerful. Absolutely I began to believe these things. I never spoke up in school, I didn’t have any friends until the year I graduated. I as made fun of at school. This completely destroyed my life the first 40 years of my life. I believed I was stupid, ugly and would never amount to anything.

It wasn’t until I have almost destroyed myself believing this. I began to have a new perspective on like.

We can use our words and perspectives to lift us and other people up or tear them down.

We can use our own words to lift our personal energy and improve our lives. Many of us are not conscious of the words we speak, read, and expose ourselves to. Even the words of others can easily affect our personal vibration.

Spend a few minutes with a chronic complainer who uses all sorts of negative terms, and you’ll feel your personal energy bottom out. Words have great power, so choose then wisely.

Things God Hates

It is God’s love for people that causes Him to hate sin with a vengeance.

Have we failed to remind this generation that while God is love, He also has the capacity to hate. He hates sin,and He will judge with the fierceness of His wrath.

God hates sin just as a father hates a rattlesnake that threatens the safety and life of his child. God loathes evil and diabolic forces that would pull people down to a godless eternity just as a mother hates a venomous spider found playing on the soft, warm flesh of her baby.

It is God’s love for people compassion for the human race, the cause God to hate sin.

What Does God Hate?

  • A Proud Look (eyes of majesty)
  • A Lying Tongue
  • Hand That Shed Innocent Blood
  • A Heart That Devises Wicked Plans
  • Feet That Are Swift In Running To Evil.
  • A False Witness Who Speaks Lies
  • And One Who Conflict Among Others (Slander)

The above Verse Proverbs 6: 16-19.

We have all broken every one of the commandments. But God can forgive us. He has died on the Cross for our sins. Yes, God hates the evil in our hearts, but He loves you. Just as a parent dislikes the bad behavior of their child but still loves the child. God loathes the forces that would cause us to become lost, but He loves you with an infinite love.

However, this matter of salvation in not thrust upon us; it is a gift, and it must be duly and properly received. That is a promise we can put our whole trust in.

Sometimes, Its Now Or Never

Sometimes there is no next time, no timeouts, no second chances. Sometimes it’s now or never.

We don’t always get second chances. A lot of times, it’s what we need to do now that makes all the difference. We can choose to aim for excellence or be sloppy.

There is no pause or rewind in life; it is continuously playing. That’s why we shouldn’t waste any good opportunity. We need to take hold of the momenta day make the best of it. Our dreams won’t come true if we let an opportunity pass us by. We need to be the best we can today.

Overthinking and worrying often delay our actions. They are often disadvantages. There will be moments in our lives when we need to act immediately and not waste a single second, “Sometimes there is no next time” it’s now or never.

What will you do next time you get the opportunity to do something great! Think about it or just do it? The choice is up to you. But always remember that we don’t always get second chances. All we can do is the best we can now. Don’t think out second chances you never know when they will come.

Remember “Sometimes there is no next time, no time outs, no second chances. Sometimes it’s now or never.

How To Become A Believer

Becoming a believer in Jesus Christ involved a heart decision and a prayer to God. This is not a political alliance or a polarizing religious view. It’s a simple but profound heart decision. If your faith is real- if your heart is seeking Jesus and believing in Him- the decision is easy enough to understand. Religion has nothing to do with it. No beads, no penance, no pilgrimage, no money, no, service… Just a simple prayer of faith.

Religion and its jargon have complicated faith in God. Believers who have behaved poorly, as their natural selves rather than their transformed selves (Romans 2:1-2) mar the term believer and confuse non-believers over their beliefs and lifestyle that the Bible prioritizes. With confusing traditions, denominational distinctions, and horrific history, religion as an institution often blocks thermoset profound decision than any of us could ever make: should I become a believer or not? And if I should, how do I do it.

Below are several common questions and answers regarding how to become a believer (a Christian ) through salvation and faith in Jesus Christ.

How do I become a believer?

You’re not the only one to ask this. In the Bible when the Philippian jailer asks Apostle Paul this question (Acts 16:30-31), Paul answered, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Those who confess with their mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead, will be saved. For it is with the heart that their you believe and are justified, and it is with the mouth that you confess and are saved.

Becoming a believer is a change of heart and belief. It’s a step of faith, accepting what the Bible was about God and Jesus as true and real. Faith is a transference of dependence on yourself to dependence on God. Therefore, the goal of the “gospel” the good news about Jesus Christ in Mark 16:15 is entering into faith and dependence on God alone for this life and the next. “Being saved” is simply believing in Jesus and accepting Him.

Is there a process to becoming a believer?

Based on Jesus’ conversation with the thief hanging on the cross next to Him, no formulaic request needs to be made ( Luke 23:42-43). The thief asked Jesus to remember him, and Jesus said they would share eternity in heaven. It was that simple. Yet the other thief ridiculous Jesus’s powerlessness to save Himself; while the repentant thief acknowledges his guilt, the justice of his punishment, and the power and deity of Jesus. A process had occurred in one thief’s heart and not the other.

What do I actually do to be saved? 3 Steps to become a believer

Maybe it’s the prayer itself that complicates your faith decision. If you’ve never prayed or if your religious tradition incorporated memorizing prayers for worship, you might struggle over what to say without a script in front of you. Like the Gospel Hand or the Roman’s Road, a simple pattern called the ABCs of salvation could help you organize your thought about this action of praying. Salvation is a term describing the process of God saving your soul (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Although there are some variances between organizations over the ABCs of Salvation, here is a simple process to accepting Jesus as Savior.

  • A- Admit that you’re a sinner. (Romans 3:23 Romans 6:23)
  • B- Believe that Jesus is God’s son, that He died for you, and that His death can save your soul (John;3:16, Romans

Are my sins too bad for God to accept me?

The apostle Paul claimed salvation, even while he called himself the worst of sinners (1 Timothy 1;15). John explained the God loved the world to such a extent that He was willing to let His Son die in our place (John 3:16). The beauty of salvation and forgiveness is that God separates us from our sins “as far as the east is from the west” (Psalm 103;12). There is only one bridge between a Holy God and sinful people; Jesus (1 Timothy 2-5). That, in itself, simple, loving, and astounding.

Do you wonder what words to say?

Understand that prayer is a conversation between you and God. Express yourself and your thoughts and fears to God however you want. He will hear you and respond to you because He loves you (Psalm 116; 1). Here is a simple example for you to follow. Or you can personalize it.

Dear God, I understand that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, so I could be in a relationship with You, and go to heaven. I’m sorry for living a life without You at the center. Please forgive me for all my sins. I want to follow You for the rest of my life. In Jesus Name, Amen.

The salvation decision is the most important prayer you will ever say. It will define you entire life; you will never be the same. You will have purpose for living and a person to live for. You will experience new life on this earth and new life for eternity.
