How You Respond to Adversity Matters, Quitting Is Not An Option

Today we're gonna be talking about, and we're gonna be dealing with this subject for the next few weeks, quitting is not an option.

Say that out loud with me.

Quitting is not an option.

You know, at some point in your life, you need to make that decision.

If you don't make that decision, at some point you're gonna be faced with the temptation to give up every time it gets hard, every time it gets difficult, every time it looks impossible.

And you know, that's what the devil wants you to do.

He wants you to just quit.

He wants you to just throw in the towel, so to speak.

He wants you to just walk away, turn your back on God, and just say, "It's not worth it." Well, listen, it is worth it, and God is on your side, and He's promised that no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

So what you need to do is make the quality decision that quitting is no longer an option.

Now, once again, you need to make that decision right now so that it's settled once and for all.

You know, I began this walk of faith back in 1969, and prior to that I was a quitter.

I looked for opportunities to quit.

In fact, I, I, I always looked for the path of least resistance.

That was somewhat my nature.

But once I got ahold of the Word of God, once I began to find out that I didn't have to quit, that I didn't have to accept failure and defeat, then praise God, my life began to change.

That was a long, long time ago, in fact, 49 years ago.

And if you ask anybody that knows me well, I do not quit.

I do not give up.

I do not accept failure or defeat.

And praise God, I have mastered the art of standing on the Word of God.

The Apostle Paul said, "Having done all to stand, stand." In other words, you just keep standing because if you're willing to stand and refuse to give up, then God is going to come through for you.

That's a guarantee.

So let me encourage you today, make the decision that quit is no longer an option.

Say that with me.
