Though we live in a world where discouragement and depression are rampant, God shows us in His word that His people need not be susceptible to either of these. Presented in this sermon are strategies for God's people to remain optimistic, encouraged, and encouraging to others despite the pressures of the world around us.

    We are encouraged by Dr. Ward to pick up the sword of the spirit & go fight the good fight of faith; being fully persuaded that God has stored up for each & every one of us a crown of life. Wither we are going to wallow in the pits of self-pity or look up to the hills from where our spiritual strength comes from is our choice; wither we are going to encourage ourselves as David did as he was just about to be stoned to death because of Israel’s loss. No night & shining armor is going to pull us out of the pity pit or out of self-despair we have thrown ourselves into but The One Who is coming on a great white horse & currently sitting at the right Hand of God The Father; One Who Ever lives to make intercession for us & make our election sure! We are admonished to get our focus off ourselves and fight the good fight of faith & become encouragers. We are all in need of encouragement & we must look constantly to the source of strength and comfort. We must check if we are in tune with The Giver of every good & perfect gift: the Father of Light. What Satan fears most is a man on his knees. In Psa 145:17 we read that the Eternal is near to all who call upon Him in truth.
