Have you ever encountered a SETBACK? Have you ever hit your limit and felt like you wanted to quit?

Song: It’s not over yet

They are inside your head you got a voice that says

You won’t get past this one you won’t win your freedom

It’s like a constant war and you want to settle that score

But you’re bruised and beaten and you feel defeated

This goes out to the heaviest heart:

To everyone who’s hit their limit, it’s not over yet; It’s not over yet

And even though you think you’re finished, it’s not over yet; It’s not over yet

Keep on fighting, out of the dark into the light. It’s not over!

Hope is rising, never give in, never give up. It’s not over yet!

· Bear Grylls said, “Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying.”

· Mark Twain jokingly said, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

· One person wrote, “Every great story on the planet happened when someone decided not to give up, but kept going no matter what.”

I want you to know that it’s not over until God says it’s over. It’s not over yet. If you are breathing there is still hope for God to change your situation around. The way you think about your “setback” can be a “set up” for your “break through”.

I know if feels like a set back but it could be a set up. It could be that God is setting you up for a victory like you’ve never experienced before.

We know he felt weak because God told him to be strong. We know he was discouraged because God told him to be courageous. We know he was afraid because God said, “Do not be afraid.”

We know he felt weak because God told him to be strong. We know he was discouraged because God told him to be courageous. We know he was afraid because God said, “Do not be afraid.”

God has bigger plans for you than you believe He does. You were created by God to reveal His love and forgiveness to the world, your family and your friends.

We were created to serve King and Country.

If we ever believe it’s over or think that God is finished or disinterested in us, we become weak, vulnerable and defeated.

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Even though you think things are dead Jesus can resurrect them. God can bring His Life into the situation. It’s not over until God says its over.

· It looks like your enemy is invincible but he’s not.

· It looks like you are weak, but you’re not.

· Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world.

· Be strong and courageous and do not be dismayed because there are more with us than there are with them.

· Keep pressing on, keep believing Him, It’s not over yet!!!

The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commanding Officer!

The Holy Bible is my code of conduct!

Faith, prayer, and the Word are my weapons of warfare!

I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity, and tested by fire!

I am called to this army, and I am enlisted for eternity!

I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out.

I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable!

If my God needs me, I am there!

If He needs me to teach children, work with youth, help adults, or just sit and learn, He can use me, because I am there!

I am a soldier! I am not a baby!

I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked up, or pepped up!

I am a soldier!

No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me!

I am a soldier! I am not a wimp!

I am in place, saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name, and building His Kingdom!

No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, candy, or give me handouts!

I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to!

I am committed! I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around!

I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside!

I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit!

My God will supply all my needs! I am more than a conqueror!

I will always triumph! I can do all things through Christ!

Devils cannot defeat me! People cannot disillusion me!

Worry cannot weary me! Sickness cannot stop me!

Battles cannot beat me! Money cannot buy me!

Governments cannot silence me and hell cannot handle me!

I am a soldier of God, I serve my King and nothing will stop me.

I live for King and Country.
