Encourage Yourself

Life can try to get the best of us at times. Pressures, problems, disappointments and unforeseen crisis arise. What do your do during those times?  Here's the answer: You take time to encourage yourself!! You take time to process through your emotions - not taking more time then needed. You then pick yourself up, dry the tears from your eyes, and wash your tear stained face and you then you begin to encourage yourself.  You tap into all you know to be true and TRUTH. You grab hold of the promise that GOD IS PRESENT HELP and refuse to let go!!  You humble yourself, clear the clutter of doubt and fear from in front of your heart and you position yourself to HEAR ALL that God is saying and DO ALL that He has revealed for you to do.

 I heard a teacher once say "Sometimes we feel overwhelmed and hopeless and when this happens you need to focus on whats most important to you. You need to take a look at what the priorties are and then start taking action to make those things happen. Unsually when you're overwhelmed or feeling hopeless it is because you are trying to do too much at one time and you are not focusing on what's important. Start by focusing on the important stuff and then begin taking one step at a time and things will start to fall into place." 

THINGS will fall into place and YOU will not fall because of the weight of it all just sitting on your shoulders unprocessed.

Read the lyrics to the words of the song "Encourage Yourself" by Donald Lawrence and then watch these words acted out by two powerful Mimes I found on You Tube.

Sometimes you have to encourage yourself.

Sometimes you have to speak victory during the test.

And no matter how you feel,

speak the word and you will be healed;

speak over yourself,

encourage yourself in the Lord.


Sometimes you have to speak the word over yourself,

the pressure is all around,

but God is present help.

The enemy created walls,

but remember giants, they do fall;

speak over yourself,

encourage yourself in the Lord.



Bridge:

As I minister to you, I minister to myself,

life can hurt you so,

'til you feel there's nothing left.

(No matter how you feel),

(speak the word and you will be healed).



Speak over yourself.

*(Declare over yourself =)

I'm encouraged.

I'm encouraged.

I'm encouraged.

I'm encouraged.



*(decree over yourself =)I'm encouraged,


Speak over yourself,

encourage yourself in the Lord.
