Encourage Yourself

Sometimes you have to encourage yourself....

Sometimes you have to speak victory during the test....

These are the first to lines of a beautiful song entitled Encourage Yourself by Donald Lawrence..

This is my testimony..This is my song.....Sometimes when I'm dealing with difficult people or situations..I have to constantly tell myself that everything is going to work out for me..That God has great things in store for me...It just has to work..God wouldn't have placed this obstacle in front of me if I wasn't prepared... But it's not easy...While I was preparing to write this blog entry I was searching the Internet for the complete lyrics to this song..and when I found them, the Holy Spirit began speaking, ministering, and restoring to my soul....I was immediately forced to go to a quiet place and praise God with my whole heart..

Sometimes when I'm going through some stuff I easily forget who placed me there..I have been looking to buy a house for the past couple of months..The first builder was not trustworthy when it came to finances..And the current builder has so issues with the construction of the home...Last night, I found myself asking God, why have you made this task so difficult, why can't I work with people that are honest, and desire to do their work well....

I began to feel sorry for myself, and I was starting to lose hope in being a homeowner...But that's when God, in all his wonder...stepped in, right at the appropriate moment, and ministered to my soul through song....There is a point in the song which simply says life is going to take you through some challenges, and difficulties...but you have to encourage yourself...Nothing is going to be prefect...

I thank God, that for every circumstance in my life, he has already provided grace, mercy, strength, and understanding...I thank God..that there is NO weapon formed against me that shall prosper...The great thing about God, is that He is Trustworthy, he is Faithful, he is Dependable....and more importantly...Everything that he has promised me is for me....

Glory to the Lord...That Victory is Mine...That His presence can meet you at the point of your need no matter where you are..Thank God, that his mercy is new every morning..And thank you, that he loves me enough to bring me to and through every situation...


The lyrics are below:

Sometimes you have to encourage yourself
Sometimes you have to speak victory during the test and no matter how you feel
Speak the word you will be healed
Speak over yourself
Encourage yourself in the lord
oooohhh oohh

Sometimes you have to speak the word over yourself
the pressure is all around but God is present help
oh the enemy created walls but remember giants they do fall
speak over your self
encourage your self in the lord
oh as I minister to you
oh I minister to myself
life can hurt you sooo till you feel there's nothing left

No matter how you feel speak the word and you will be healed
Speak over yourself

I'm Encourage(repeat 4)
I'm Encourage(Repeat till the end)
