Living daily as a disciple of Jesus Christ is not easy in this world
and some days we need God's help just to just to help us to put one foot in front of the other
some days we need God's help to keep praying we need God's help to keep standing to keep
working some days we feel like the only success was that we didn't quit today and
some of you may be tempted to escape a trial by quitting don't quit but I urge you I urge you
with every ounce of energy that I can muster I urge you don't give in to despair
the anaconda of hopelessness will squeeze the life out of you don't give in you can't give up
you just can't folks you just can't there's too much at stake there's too much at stake you've
got children you've got grandchildren you've got a legacy you've got friends you got neighbors
and they're needing somebody to rise up in the midst of these difficult days and
say I ain't quitting I ain't quitting others are throwing in the towel but I'm not first
you cannot give up when you enter into your long season you've got to give it all you've got
don't quit there's two things that you can do with trouble you can let trouble make you
better or you can let trouble make you bitter and that's your choice and so when you're going
through hard things you've got two choices you can give in and give up or you can get strong
amen and I believe that we can do anything that God gives us
to do but the one thing we cannot do is give up when it gets hard
make a statement make a stance that I am not going to be moved I am not going to give up I'm not
going to quit as a father I'm not going to quit as a provider I'm not going to quit as a Christian
I'm not going to quit as a believer I'm not going to quit the call of God that's on my life I'm not
going to quit what God's called me to do where my community is concerned I'm not going to quit
in my in all of my well-doing I'm not going to quit on the on the gift that God has given me I
am not a quitter I am more than a conqueror and with Jesus Christ I overcome every temptation
to quit so you get yourself up you stop feeling sorry for yourself
as if you're the only one that's ever gone through trouble get up dust all of that stuff off of you
hold your head up put your shoulders back
but let that devil know I have an announcement to make there's no more quit in me there is no more
quit in me you ought to make up your mind I'm gonna make it I'm not gonna quit I'm not gonna
lay down and I'm not going to be a statistic I'm going to make it because God is on my side
that no condition is too dark no situation is too impossible no problem is so severe that
God can't in a moment in an instant overturn intervene interrupt and reverse the course
of events God has a plan for you and know this his plan for you is better than your
plan for yourself so never be afraid to commit an unknown future to a known God
in God's hands no script is predictable
no storyline is inevitable no outcome is certain don't let the middle of the story confuse you
don't be thrown off don't be thrown off because you can't see the ending
and what you expected to happen has not happened God is writing history and God
is charge is in charge of history so just keep praying keep trusting your story's not finished
I'm getting up
I'm not gonna quit
I'm not I may get knocked down nine times but I'm going to get up ten times and I'm not gonna quit
the devil will hit you life will hit you I may get knocked down
but bless God I'm getting up I'm not gonna quit
you are an overcomer the Bible makes it very very clear in things and all these things you're more
than conquerors are more than a conqueror through him that loved us when you're more
than a conqueror you overcome you overcome God is with you don't give up don't give up don't give up
wake up and recognize that if you've been through some stuff God was with you while
you were walking through it and he's with you now he's still on the throne he still has a plan for
you he's still working it out in your life he is not going to leave you he is not going to forsake
you he has the way through the wilderness and if you look to him he'll lead you and guide you and
give you a blessing that you cannot contain I'm pleading with you today whatever God is trying
to do in your life right now even if you don't understand it don't run away from it trust God
let him do what he wants to do in you so you can have the life that he really wants you to have
the thing to try when all else fails is again the person who really wants to do something finds a
way the person who does not finds an excuse the person who prevails is the person who refuses to
give up the person with the mental toughness is the person who will triumph the testing of your
faith produces perseverance the man who can get up one more time than the time he's knocked down is
going to be the winner being knocked down is not a problem but staying down is a problem
get up because success begins by getting up one more time then you've been knocked down
the Bible declares in Proverbs 24:16 listen to this for though a righteous man falls seven times
he rises again for though a righteous man falls seven times he rises again again
you're not a failure for falling down you're a failure for staying down
