ENCOURAGE YOURSELF IN THE LORD - If you feel spiritually, physically and emotionally bankrupt, knowing that without a supernatural infusion of Christ’s strength you simply cannot go on, you are not alone. But be assured that there is complete victory for you! You can trust the Lord to see you through any circumstance in your life. The Word of God is full of glorious promises and our Lord delights in our faith and trust.

All true men and women of God have experienced such things.
If you feel spiritually, physically and emotionally bankrupt, knowing that without a supernatural infusion of Christ’s strength you simply cannot go on, you are not alone.
But be assured that there is complete victory for you!
The Bible is full of accounts of great men of God who came to the end of their rope.
David is an example of “a man after [God’s] own heart” (Acts 13:22) and yet at times he was overwhelmed with remorse, depression, and negative emotions of all kinds.
“I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long” (Psalm 38:6).
Why was David allowed to endure so much loss and turmoil in his life?
Some of it came as a result of his sin, for which he repented with sorrow, but it was also because godly character was being forged in him.
There was not a moment the Holy Spirit was not with David, but he was permitted to come to the end of himself at times.  
God promises strength to his anointed: “Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplications! The Lord is my strength and my shield … my heart greatly rejoices and with my song I will praise Him” (Psalm 28:6-7).
If you will call on him, he will pour his strength into you: “In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul … Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand … and Your right hand will save me” (Psalm 138:3, 7).
You can trust the Lord to see you through any circumstance in your life.
The Word of God is full of glorious promises and our Lord delights in our faith and trust.
Don’t neglect to encourage yourself in the Lord, just as David did, and grow stronger and stronger each day.  

David Wilkerson was the Founding Pastor of Times Square Church in New York City. He was called to New York in 1958 to minister to gang members and drug addicts, as told in the best-selling book, The Cross and the Switchblade.
In 1987, David Wilkerson returned to "the crossroads of the world" to establish Times Square Church. As a pastor of the church, he faithfully led this congregation, delivering powerful biblical messages that encourage righteous living and complete reliance on God.
David Wilkerson had a strong burden to encourage and strengthen pastors throughout the world. From 1999 to 2008, he traveled around the globe holding conferences for Christian ministers.
