Just Give up, There is pretty much no use calling or trying. Why Bother?

There is pretty much no use calling

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:9-10

There is no use trying……You know that is how the enemy wants us to think. What does it say in Corinthians – (Eph. 6:11)? know the wiles of the devil or in other words the methods of the devil, that is what the word Wiles means. He doesn’t have just one method he has many and this is one of them, Why not give up, you can’t win any way. Why not give up on that loved one or on trying it is hopeless, so go ahead just have that abortion. Don’t bother calling or writing your senators they are all a bunch of liberals in the tank for Obama any way. Why try, just quit, you can’t, don’t bother this is just one of the WIELS of the enemy, we know better don’t we. Know them and defeat them, overcoming them by the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 12:11). Not only is nothing impossible for God (Luke 1:37) but as Pastor said this week we have to keep “rowing” even when the waves are pounding around us (matthew 14:22-33,Mark 6:45-52 and John 6:16-21). Do we fight for something noble and good? Meditate on that which is good and heavenly (Philippians 4:8), Are we fixed on something that is right? If so then no matter what you win. (Rev. 17:14; 19:11-16)What side is God on, yes the side of souls and winning souls yes, but God is for goodness and righteousness – Agape (1 Corinthians 13) and sometimes when everyone around you is blind (Matthew 15:14) you have to take a step of faith and lead (1 Samuel 16:1-13). Even if it seems hopeless, pointless and in vain. God knows better, we only have to be His hands and feet extended. First and foremost through prayer, an effective prayer life is essential but then there is action required. Who is more wrong the one blindly following after darkness, those who call evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20) or those of us who know what is good and what is not and just let others perish? We all get tired and faint, but isn’t that why we have Jesus and each other? That we would strengthen one another, as iron strengthens iron so we strengthen one to another(Proverbs 27:17). We are called to edify each other, sometimes we preach to the lost and other times to the choir but if no one is speaking how will anyone hear. In humbling our Spirit to Gods’ and moving as He is moving In taking the lead we are being servants and by serving we are leading so either way we are obeying and in obeying we are taking up His yoke and He says take up my yoke for my burden is light. Sure in the natural we grow tired and weary and faint as all the saints of old have but isn’t that when our effective prayer life kicks into high gear, where we just stop and sit and bask in His presence, we take a step back to be lifted as on eagles wings to be refreshed and refilled by His spirit. But to give up and let the world win, nah that is not in us,(Psa 25:2) for we are children of God. So take a moment, sit with the Lord today, no never mind, right now invite the Lord to come, just get up or get down and praise Him, (Eph 5:20, Psalm 34:1, Psa 8:1, Psalm 150, Genesis 29:35) put on some music and sing to Him a new song, Shout to the Lord, Lift your hands and praise Him, bow before him and give Him honor, stand before him and shout you are good Lord you are Good and your mercy endures forever, Dance before the Lord and delight yourself in Him, give him a clap offering, anything Just take a moment go to your prayer closet be refreshed and then sit and listen for that still soft voice and then go answer the call and do the next right thing. Psalms 37:4

1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: (and who does God call foolish? …Psalm 53. 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.) Ok yes this is a whole different study but that was in short, In very short

This is all for God’s Glory, not ours, we press on with our eye on the mark not for ourselves but For the Glory of God, to show the world who our God is that they too would be saved and have eternal life, even those who hate us and spitefully persecute us

Eph 3:13
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

We are partakers of Christ(Hbr 3:14), joint heirs with Christ so faint not saints press on and do your thing be confident and steadfast to the end. Finish the race. Know for what cause you fight and that in the end nothing we can say or do has effect only when the spirit of God moves on whom He chosen, when He chosen will there be a harvest, that He would get all the Glory but we still His instruments in His perfect Will.


Here are a few scriptures to help us all stand and be refreshed, Normally I just post the Scripture ref’s without the words but this time I will compromise that :D I will give partials, but it is up to you to go read the whole thing, before and after to have context :D and as well I only put a hand full here, there are so many more, diligently seek Him and you will be rewarded. Hbr 10:35 (read till 39 though it is awesome) ok fine 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:“ For yet a little while,And He[j] who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the[k]just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back ,My soul has no pleasure in him.” [But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

I hope this helps in what ever struggle you are facing today, because though my heart is heavy with Politics and the goodness of those who rule over us/me, I know as I was writing and studying this Word touched me even in my everyday life and the things I am struggling with on a personal level so Yeah come on saints, let us not forget who we serve and why. Because He first loved us, He called us out of darkness and into the light and His faithfulness is forever Psalms 136 (man I feel a second wind coming but will stop) and not only to us but to our posterity Psalms 100:5

Hebrews 12:1-5
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him.

Luk 18:1
And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

1Pe 4:19
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

1Cr 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

2Th 3:13
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

1Pe 4:19
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.


Psa 104:27
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their meat in due season.

Isa 40:30- 31
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

2Cr 4:16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.

Mat 24:13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

(read all of chapters 2 and 3)
Rev 2:26
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

Rev 3:21
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Pro 17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD.

And a couple other scriptures
Psa 119:15
1Ti 4:15

And as a last thought Called to
Genesis 12:1-9 (call of Abram); Exodus 3:1-6 (call of Moses); Judges 6:11-24 (call of Gideon); 1 Samuel 3:1-21 (call of Samuel); Isaiah 6:1-8 (call of Isaiah); Luke 1:26-56 (call of Mary); Matthew 4:18-22 (call of the disciples); Acts 9:1-19 (call of Paul); Acts 16:11-15 (call of Lydia) each of our stories are different and each of our gifts are different but God has still called you, who is He calling you to be? I don’t know I just know we are not the blind and thus as God moves so must we, we cannot just let people around us believe a lie and live in ignorance because we know the truth and so be it, can we?

Well hope that keeps you busy as you go get some refreshment : )
