THE CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT DETERMINE MY CHEER UP
Isaiah 59:19
"And they shall fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; For the enemy will come as a river, but the Spirit of the Lord will raise a banner against him. "
It is difficult to understand, but our mood should not depend on the circumstances of life. In this walk we will face daily many situations that will want to make us lower our arms, hang our gloves, throw ourselves on the ground and give up, but we can not please the enemy of our souls.

The will of the enemy is to see you fall, to see how you wallow in sin day after day and then make yourself feel the most guilty of the world, the most hardened sinner that exists, that person who deserves no more the mercy and forgiveness of God. But the reality is that God is BIG in mercy, grace and FORGIVENESS.
Every day you will face different circumstances that will want to steal the joy that the Lord has placed in your heart, but you must not allow this to happen.
Has not happened to you after a service of those super blessed, where you cried, singing like never before and where you said to the Lord: "From now on I will look for you more", comes the next day and the enemy puts a thousand and situations that steal that precious moment ?, to me if it has happened to me, I could mention more than a dozen times that has happened to me, days in which after having felt in heaven, I completely feel almost in hell . And is that the enemy did not rest until we see ourselves faint, Jesus said it clearly: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly "(John 10:10).
That is where we as Christians have to understand and assimilate in our minds, that every day of our existence will come situations that will want to steal the peace of God in our lives, they will want to keep the joy of the Lord from being kept in our hearts, but it is there where we CAN NOT ALLOW our mood to depend on the circumstances.
The Apostle Paul was very clear that the spirit of the son of God can not depend on the circumstances that surround him, he said in Ephesians 5:20 "always giving thanks for everything to God and Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" and also in 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-19 "Be always joyful. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in everything, because this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. "
Without a doubt we have to learn to live in the midst of situations that want to destabilize our lives, we can not get carried away by the current wherever she wants, we have to stand firm and understand that whatever comes, my encouragement is based on the Rock that It is Christ.
It is not courageous to flee when things are against us, we must understand and believe without a doubt that more powerful is the one who is with us than the one who is in the world and who is nothing we can do, but who We can do everything. (Philippians 4:13)
It is for that reason that the motive that their spirit does not depend on circumstances, that they do not let themselves be overcome so easily, that they give battle to the enemy, do not let them steal the joy that God has deposited in their lives.
If you are going through very, very hard situations, DO NOT FEAR, God will make the sea open and you can go to the other side, and being there you will praise and glorify His Name, just DO NOT GIVE UP, believe me even when your mind refuses to believe , trust even when the picture looks gray and above all DO NOT STOP FIGHTING.
Your destiny is not determined by any adverse circumstance that touches you ... it will become clearer every day and I will succeed in fulfilling my call, in the name of Jesus.
