Joyce Meyer: Dealing with Disappointment

Many Christians are lying along the roadside of life devastated because they have not learned how to deal with disappointment, but it's not God's will for you to live a disappointed, devastated or oppressed life today, or any day.

Part of Jesus' earthly ministry was to go about in the anointing of the Holy Spirit & deliver all those who were oppressed by the devil. Disappointed people everywhere found new hope when they encountered the power of Jesus. The same power is available to us today.

Use that power to defend yourself against disappointed by focusing on God, meditating on His promises, confessing His Word, & submitting yourself & your situation to Him in prayer. Through Jesus, you can fight the enemy's attempts to weigh you down rebuking him so that he can't destroy you.

When the devil makes one move toward you, keep yourself so spiritually tuned in that you can discern what he is trying to do & then back him down. With the power Jesus made available to you, he has no choice but to run.
