Never Giving Up

No matter what the Spirit of Jesus wants to do in the earth through you, it can’t be stopped or prevented if you don’t stop obeying Him.

Therefore we do not give up; even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day. For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen; for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18 HCSB ©®)

So we continued the work, while half of the men were holding spears from daybreak until the stars came out. At that time, I also said to the people, “Let everyone and his servant spend the night inside Jerusalem, so that they can stand guard by night and work by day.” And I, my brothers, my men, and the guards with me never took off our clothes. Each carried his weapon, even when washing.

Don’t focus on what you can see. Not about yourself, not about your friends, not about your enemies. Ask the Spirit what has value, what is a threat, what is a failure. What is seen is temporary. Get that.
