Never Give Up

"Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly as though you were working for your real master and not merely for humans. Col 3:23"

There are times we all face giants in our lives... and like the football video above, they new the were going against a giant in there case a football team and before they even faced them they already had the attitude of defeat. So many times we have that same attitude we face a giant in our life ad we just give up!... but read the story of jericho here
Now Jericho was tightly shut up Because of the children of Isreal None went out And none came in And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given unto thine hand Jericho And the king thereof and the mighty men of valor And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war And go round about the city once
Thus shalt thou do six days And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams horns And the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times and the priests shall blow the trumpets and it shall come to pass that when they make a long blast with the rams horn and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet all the people shall shout with a great shout and the wall of the city shall fall down flat and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him For the Lord hath said unto Joshua SHOUT for I have given you the city

The inhabitants of Jericho were perverted by sin and corrupt Surrounded by walls so thick that chariots raced on top With ladders, catapolts and spearheads readied and blazing in the sun The armies of Isreal stood ready for commands of war to come For 39 years Joshua was trained under Moses' righteous hand And it was Joshua who led nearly three million Isrealites Into the promised land Now Moses was dead and the real test cameCould he simply follow God's word And do something that to the natural mind Would be utterly obsurd Without Moses to ask advice of Or an advisory committee God said the walls will fall Just tell them SHOUT for I have given you the city

Now God was putting in operation a principle of war Setting at our disposal weaponry that drops deamons to the floor Something with tremendous power that assassinates fear and doubt Its the high praises of victory unleashed by a shout When David played his songs of praise, demons fled from Saul As Paul and Silas worshiped God, the chains began to fall it lifts us above the circumstance and lets God's power flow
The shout of victory binds the devil with chains that won't let go So with the confidence of warring angels Isreal stood stone ready To obey Joshua, speak to their mountain And SHOUT for God was giving them the city

Six days they marched around Jericho and the last day they marched seven While the Cananites jeered from their evil walls Isreals faith reached Heaven Before any manifestation, with every brick still in place
Eyeball to eyeball they looked fear dead in its face They didn't wait to feel some earthquake or to see a lightening flash They didn't need to hear a theatric rumble or a mind blowing crash They prepared their souls for victory Now its God's turn to come thru They'd scream their lungs out Simply because... they believed...
God's word was true.

So, with the high praises of God in their mouths, Came a massive... there came a volcanic sound And Isreal shouted in victory And they shouted in faith And the walls came tumbling down

Now Joshua Could have looked at this giant of a wall which chariot raced on top.. it was huge!.. he could have said God i cant do this.. and he had all these people who he was in charge over can u imagine walking around a wall seven times and knowing thousands of people were goin to be quiet as they walk around this wall?... but joshua trausted God, he wasnt walking around this wall for himself he was doin it for God he was beliving and trusting God that the walls were going to fall!... and after seven times whe they shouted the walls came down!... so what would happeed if we just looked at our giant and shouted a shout of victory and watch him fall...

What ever your facing today dont give up because you think you cant do it anymore that your tired that its too much.. because like the coach was beside his player yelling DONT GIVE UP!!.. God is besides you yelling DONT GIVE UP! IM RIGHT HERE BESIDE U! YOU WILL MAKE IT!... somtimes we are soo close to victory and we give up because the giants to big.. but my GOD is bigger.. he will strengthen u.. So whatever your facing keep going to dont give up. and traust GOD and shout with a SHOUT OF VICTORY!.. and watch the walls fall.....

Luke 10:19 (The Message)

18-20Jesus said, "I know. I saw Satan fall, a bolt of lightning out of the sky. See what I've given you? Safe passage as you walk on snakes and scorpions, and protection from every assault of the Enemy. No one can put a hand on you. All the same, the great triumph is not in your authority over evil, but in God's authority over you and presence with you. Not what you do for God but what God does for you—that's the agenda for rejoicing."
