1. Have faith that God can do things we cannot do.
We cannot swim across the Pacific Ocean. However, you can cross the ocean by boat. We cannot fly. However, if you take an airplane, you can fly to your destination as many times as you want. I can't do anything, but if I rely on the Lord of power, I can be saved and have victory through His power. What is the biggest problem in our lives? Because we sin because we do not live according to the law, our lives are plunged into death. To save us from dying in this way, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to bear our sins on Him, and to save those who believe in Him. We are the ones who can never solve the problem of sin. No one can escape from the curse of death. However, by the power of God, we can be saved through the blood of Jesus Christ. The greatest reversal took place, when a life immersed in sin and death became a child of God. Don't be discouraged that you can't do it, but trust in God who can do everything.
2. Be empowered by the power of the Holy Spirit and be filled with that power.
3. Throw away your carnal thoughts and start thinking spiritually.
What we think determines our life. Our previous thoughts were gathered to form our life today, and our thoughts of today are gathered to determine our future self. Our thoughts are like magnets, and when we think of fleshly thoughts, the desires of the flesh will eventually come to us, and when we think of spiritual things, spiritual things will come to us. If you think resentful thoughts, resentment will keep coming, and if you think grateful thoughts, things to be thankful for will come to you. How can we fill our hearts with the right thoughts? When we read the Bible with our eyes, hear the Word with our ears, and pray and sing with our mouths, the Holy Spirit guards our hearts and gives us spiritual thoughts.
Dear saints, Are there things that discourage you? Do you have a problem that you can't overcome? Don't be weighed down by spiritual stagnation and rely on God. I can't do it, but God can. Turn my dark life into a bright tomorrow. Always receive the filling of the Holy Spirit through prayer, the Word, and praise. You can definitely experience the reversal of your life.
