I want to go to numbers chapter 21

then they journeyed from Mount hor by

the way of the Red Sea to go around the

land of edom listen and the soul of the

people became very discouraged because

of the way along the way one translation

says because of the way God led them and

the people spoke against God and against

Moses why have you brought us out out of

Egypt to die in the wilderness for

there’s no food no water our solos this

worthless bread so the Lord sent fiery

serpents among them and they bit the

people and many of the people of Israel

died therefore the people came to Moses

and said we have sinned they got a

revelation we have sinned for we have

spoken against the Lord and against you

pray to the Lord that he take away the

Serpent’s from us so Moses prayed for

the people then the Lord said to Moses

make a fiery Serpent and set it on a

pole and it shall be that everyone who

is bitten when he looks at it shall live

so Moses made a bronze Serpent put it on

a pole raised it up in front and so it

was if a serpent had bitten anyone when

he looked at the bronze serpent Helios I

want to talk to you for a few moments

I’ll give you my title in just a minute

but I’m focusing on the theme of the

danger the great great great great

danger of discouragement and I’m gonna

give you the remedy I’m gonna give you

the answer to it in the Christmas

classic It’s a Wonderful Life and if

you’ve not seen It’s a Wonderful Life

you will probably not go up in the

rapture amen

how many of you’ve ever seen that movie

It’s a Wonderful Life well in that movie

the main character is a guy by the name

of George Bailey

George Bailey is a good guy but he gets

extremely in hard time

and discouraged and even contemplates

suicide but thank God for the power of

friendship he had some friends who got

together and prayed for him and when

they prayed in the movie it touches

heaven and there is an angel who is in

charge of all the angels in heaven and

he turns to one of the lesser angels and

he says it’s time for you to earn your

wings and your sign that if you want to

earn your wings you’ll get your wings if

you succeed in this your assignment is

to go down and help George Bailey and

the inferior angel said to the superior

angel well before I go tell me what’s

wrong with George Bailey isn’t sick as

he is he got some horrible disease and

the superior angels answer is a classic

he said worse than that he is

discouraged worse than some horrible

disease

he is discouraged the devil knows that

the greatest thing he can use against

the believer is discouragement because

you’re never really defeated until

you’re defeated on the inside I believe

that we need to understand that the

people of God were discouraged the

people of God not not not The Devil’s

crown it’s possible for the people of

God to get low and get discouraged and I

just want to say that probably nobody

walked in here today when we get

discouraged we almost feel ashamed we

almost feel embarrassed well must feel

guilty we don’t want anybody to know

that we’re discouraged I doubt when you

turn to your neighbor and said hello or

whatever they spoke up and said I’m

really discouraged today I feel like

quitting I’m thinking about just just

I’ll tell you I’ve had it it’s been

nobody does that

and yet it’s almost like we ignore the

dangers of prolonged

discouragement when you understand that

what really causes discouragement is

given in this text the Bible said they

were discouraged because of the way they

were discouraged because of the way of

God they were discouraged

because of the why of God they were

saying why are we in this desert why are

we going through this why are we in this

wilderness why the way of God the why of

God and then the wait the waiting on God

it’s been too long if something should

have happened by now and usually when

people get discouraged it’s because of

the way that God is leading them you

thought it would be an easy way and it’s

a hard wilderness way and on top of that

the why of God when you don’t have

answers for your questions no

explanations as to why it seems

everything’s going wrong and then on top

of that you’re waiting and waiting and

waiting

this breeds discouragement

discouragement is born when we compare

ourselves with somebody else when we

begin to compare ourselves with somebody

else but let me tell you what ought to

cause great joy to come to your life is

if you’d stop comparing yourself to

other people and you would just remember

where you came from and remember where

you started and remember how much God

has blessed you you’re doing more you’re

seeing more you’re achieving more but if

you start comparing yourself with

someone else you can get discouraged

because they’re doing more maybe than

you’re doing but the greatest way to get

on your feet and praise the Lord is just

think about where I came from

just think about what God started me out

as and where I am today and it’s

encouraging to not compare yourself with

others but to remember how far you’ve

come and where you started so everybody

give them a praise for that think about

that for just a moment let let a little

firecracker go off in your soul right

there

I mean look at you look at the life

you’ve got look at the house you’ve got

look at the car you’ve got look at how

good God’s bless you and your your

discouraged cost you’re comparing

yourself to somebody else another area

that causes discouragement this is so

important is trying to force fruit out

of season

the Bible said as long as the earth

exists their seed time and harvest their

seed there’s the promise and then

there’s the promise but there’s time

between seed time notice seed time

promise you can’t ignore the time when a

woman is pregnant the doctor gives her a

due date and that’s why the scripture

said do not be weary in well-doing for

there is a season called due season and

in due season you will reap if you don’t

think so

hear the word of the Lord today many

people trying to get fruit in the season

before it’s due and the important thing

is when the fullness of time had come

God sent forth his son and when the day

of Pentecost was fully come God poured

out his spirit and in John 5 it talks

about the people set around the Pool of

Bethesda waiting for listen a certain

season they knew it didn’t happen all

the time but you had to wait for the due

season of the miracle when the angel

would trouble the water and the point is

you cannot force something to happen out

of season and you have to learn to wait

but many people get discouraged

discouragement will cause a loss of

enthusiasm about life about God about

purpose about life in general about

everything a discouraged person is a

person who is lost passion and

enthusiasm isolation is a glaring

symptom of discouragement the devil

wants you to isolate yourself pull away

from people pull away from family pull

away from church get discouraged get

depressed cave in emotionally and

separate isolate yourself so and when

when any time the enemy isolates you is

to devastate you when you feel least

like coming that’s the sign you need to

get here the most

another symptom of discouragement is

paralysis discouragement will freeze

your actions the paralysis of analysis

you you you’re discouraged and you’re

afraid to do anything and take any

chance in any risk that’s why when

elijah got discouraged and ran from

Jezebel and went in a cave of

discouragement God came and said how how

long will you halt between two opinions

in other words you know if you’re not

careful discouragement will halt your

advancement it’ll cause you to just not

trust your own judgment and have the

courage to make the right decision

discouragement notice this in the Bible

will affect your speech when they got

discouraged they started murmuring and

complaining and discouragement always

shows up in your talk your words will be

slurred with negativism your words will

be slurred with whining and self-pity

another symptom and sign of

discouragement is a loss of inspiration

a loss of motivation a loss of

aggression about life and get up and

when your get up and go has got up and

went your discouraged discouragement is

of the despair of wounded self loss

discouragement produces cowards

the very word discouragement means to

basically just suck the courage out roll

and drain the courage out of a person to

be discouraged is to lose all courage

you will not step out you will not risk

you will not try discouragement will

make you a coward if you let it stay and

I just want to pause right in the middle

of this sermon because I know I’m

preaching to people by television all

over the world who are discouraged I

wrote this down I want you to let it get

in your spirit I Paul’s in the name of

Jesus to come against negativism despair

hopelessness fear despondency depression

disgust

frustrations feelings of failure

thoughts of quitting thoughts of giving

up thoughts of suicide I’m here today to

tell you that God is greater than your

discouragement and I call for the power

of the name of Jesus to release new

faith new vision new hope new confidence

new determination new zeal new

enthusiasm baptize us saturate us

marinate us with courage be in courage

now everybody shout like you believed

this book is true come on praise in a

minute somebody up in the balcony praise

in the minute all right now listen

because God is greater he’s greater than

gossip he’s got he’s greater than haters

he’s greater than people tearing you up

on Facebook we have minimized the danger

of discouragement don’t play with it get

help there’s nothing wrong with telling

somebody I’m discouraged I’m depressed

and I can’t get out I can’t get up

there’s no shame in it there’s nothing

wrong we’re going to a good Christian

counselor and saying help I’m never I’m

in something and I can’t I feel I just

feel like giving up reach out for help

reach out for help there’s help here

we’ve been there we’ve been there I may

need your help next week but this week I

feel I feel pretty good I could help you

somebody could help you don’t be ashamed

to say I’m discouraged how you feeling

I don’t feel nothing I don’t feel good

and I don’t feel like the favor of God

is shining brightly on my spirit I don’t

feel that I feel like quitting I feel

like giving up you ever felt that way

did God see you through

we see the devastation of discouragement

in John 1 when it talks about john the

baptists and when he was first

introduced to Jesus he said I saw the

spirit descending like a dove and it

abode upon him and I knew him I knew him

and then John announced behold the lamb

of God he’s it I’ve got a personal

revelation I know who he is he’s the

Lamb of God and there’s rejoicing but a

few months later he’s arrested John is

and he’s in a filthy prison of Herod’s

cell prison and he sends his disciples

to where Jesus is because he feels

abandoned he’s discouraged and he says

ask him are you the one what do you mean

am I the one you’re the one that said I

was the one but see see the danger of

discouragement discouragement will cause

you to question what you previously

affirmed about your faith in God

discouragement will begin to get you to

ask questions about did I really see

that bird descend did I did what did

that really happen did I really hear

that voice did God really confirm to me

is Jesus who he really said it’ll cause

you to question your spirit visitation

question your divine demonstration and

question your personal revelation there

are things that can come in life listen

to this preacher that will make you

wonder about that bird was it real

wonder about that experience that you

had in an altar was that voice real make

you second-guess what you said Jesus was

to you make you question the will of God

things will come in life that will make

you question the love of God how can a

loving God let this happen

I just proclaim in the middle of my

seasons of discouragement there is no

God like Jehovah I may not see the bird

anymore I may not hear the voice anymore

I may not feel the flutter in the joy of

the Lord in this particular season that

I may be walking through but I declare

boldly there is

No God like Jehovah he’s still God I

want you to see the doorway to

discourage me in Psalm 73 David found

himself so discouraged he wanted to quit

he said truly God is a good to Israel

even to his minions who have a clean

heart but catch these next words but as

for me my feet almost slipped and out

became envious he says in verse 13

envious of the wicked he’s saying

something he’s saying oh I know God will

bless Israel but I’m the exception and

I’m the rule that’s that’s the word I’m

the exception to the rule I’m someone

that he can bless Israel he can bless

Pastor and he can bless this one in that

one but not me that’s discouragement

talking he won’t favor him to help me he

won’t bless me and he was envious of

wicked people in other words he was

saying I’m living clean I’m living right

and this is not working for me this

faith in God is not working they’re

doing better and they worship idols this

is not working for me this is a

discouraged man the question is how did

he get there you have to back up one

verse into the previous chapter chapter

72 and verse 20 the last verse right

before you go into all that

discouragement catch this the prayers of

David the son of Jesse are ended please

hear me the door to discouragement is

prayerlessness when he said I’m done

praying I prayed all I’m gonna pray they

guess what that opened the door and he

steps into that next chapter and is full

of sliding and sliding back and

discouragement and and and then and I’m

the exception and God’s not with me and

I’m going under and I’m not gonna make

it what I’m saying to you is that’s how

you get discouraged when you stop

praying when you stop asking when you

stop praising when you stop coming to

church isolating yourself you go deeper

and deeper into discouragement I’m so

glad you came to church today

because I don’t believe that we have to

leave like we came in Jesus name

he lives of God in a cave of

discouragement and God told him to do

something he said all right I want you

to come out of this cave of

discouragement Jezebel ran you in here

Elisha and you’ve been discouraged and

you said kill me and I feel like

quitting but he said here’s what I want

you to do if you want to come out of

your cave discouragement go anoint three

people and he told him to go in other

words start sharing your anointing if

you want to be encouraged now you got to

get this if you want to be encouraged

you got to go encourage somebody as long

as you’re focused on me and self and

pity you’re not going to get encouraged

but he said I want you to start sharing

your anointing you know what I’m not no

need to preach I’m anointed to sing and

play I know that and you know what I’ve

learned that when I’m discouraged if

I’ll share my anointing if I’ll preach

in those seasons when I’m discouraged

that’s when some of my best sermons come

when I sing and worship when I’m a

little discouraged seems like that

really touches people’s hearts they

don’t know what I’m going through but

there’s something about when you are in

your own cave of discouragement you

begin to share the anointing he said he

lied you go anoint some people and too

many times we get so sinner why don’t

you call somebody if you’re discouraged

and encourage them why don’t you check

up on somebody why don’t you hug

somebody why don’t you take somebody out

to lunch

why don’t you encourage somebody and

when you share your anointing God will

bring you out here I want to own in with

this pray praise lift him up look up

keep looking up because the devil

doesn’t mind you celebrating and

remembering that time in your past that

you made it through and he really

doesn’t mind you believing that some

time way out there God’s gonna turn your

battle I’m going to see

a victory way out there that time some

time but the thing that makes hell

nervous and the thing the enemy wants to

do that keep you that will keep you in

discouraged is convince you that this

time you’re not gonna make it this time

you’re not going to get out this time

there’s no way you’re going to bounce

back but I’ve got a message for the

devil and almost wrote it on my shoes

that time here’s a note to title my

sermon that time this time and every

time God will not fail me everybody say

that time this time and every time God

will not forget me God will not forsake

me God will not fail me now wait a

minute

that time how many of you’ve got at that

time that you can look back on this time

and every time God will not fail me God

will not fail me God’s healing you if

you need help get help but God brought

you to this service this morning to heal

you of chronic discouragement David

encouraged himself in the Lord and when

you get that down in your soul like I

got it I got me a new little thing I’m

gonna tell the devil from now on if you

don’t get nothing outside of this sermon

take home this piece that time

this time and every time God will not

fail me God will not forget me God will

not forsake me one more time say it bold

that time I need somebody to shout over

that time you know that time when the

enemy whisperer take your life the enemy

whispered there’s no recover the enemy

whispered you’ll never get through this

that divorced that whatever that that

that disaster but God said I’m gonna see

you through that time this time somebody

shout over in your very circumstance

right now he’s big and in control and

here’s the big one somebody shout over

every time the battle is the Lord’s get

up on your feet and give God a great

great praise because he encourages his

people

hallelujah hallelujah we need to take

just a minute and lift him up

look up and lift him up stay in your

discouragement if you want to or look up

and lift him up and begin to pray and

God will begin to restore encouragement
