FAINT NOT

by Joyce Meyer - posted October 19th, 2014

When you go forth to battle against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than your own, do not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you. . . . Let not your [minds and] hearts faint; fear not, and do not tremble or be terrified [and in dread] because of them. For the Lord your God is He Who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to save you.
—Deuteronomy 20:1,3-4

A fainthearted person cannot take much. He has to have everything a certain way or he gives up and quits. He gets discouraged and depressed quickly.

What happens when your heart faints? It just gives up. In your heart you say, "I can't do this. It's just too hard." If that describes you, know that you don't have to stay that way. The power of God is available to you to break that fainthearted spirit off your life.
