In a problem situation, we can spend our time either...

Every person who has been forgiven or born again should be helping build the Kingdom of God by serving in the ministry.

The enemy uses people (even Christians) to try to hinder the work of evangelism.

When you feel discouraged, spend time with God; spend time in worship and with other encouraging believers. Don't quit!

When we put our focus or eyes on the enemy, we are filled with doubt and fear. When we put our focus on the Lord, we are filled with faith and courage.

We have been called to a battleground and not a playground. We should remember the Israelites had to fight for the Promised Land.

In learning and doing our Bibles, we are learning to use our spiritual swords.

23 When Jesus arrived at the official's home, he saw the noisy crowd and heard the funeral music. 24 "Get out!" he told them. "The girl isn't dead; she's only asleep." But the crowd laughed at him. 25 After the crowd was put outside, however, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up!

At last the wall was completed to half its height around the entire city, for the people had worked with enthusiasm.

11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them:

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.

9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

9 So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. 10 Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.

Then as I looked over the situation, I called together the nobles and the rest of the people and said to them, "Don't be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!"

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

During this time, none of us—not I, nor my relatives, nor my servants, nor the guards who were with me—ever took off our clothes. We carried our weapons with us at all times, even when we went for water.

16 You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves.

Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.
