What can we do when we grow weary?

What can we do when we grow weary? Either in this life in
general, on the forum, in our churches, in our families, in
doing good works. Becoming weary is a huge part of our lives,
here are some of the things I have found in scripture that we
can do
When we feel ourselves beginning to grow weary, what can we do?
We can wait on the Lord (Isaiah 40:31) fear God and trust in
Him, (Luke 18:18) and renounce the secret and shameful ways of
the flesh, allow no deceit or distorting of God’s word, openly
proclaim the truth. (II Corinthians 4:1-2) We can live in the
extraordinary power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, allowing Him
to renew us from the inside, while focusing our attention on the
things that are eternal. (II Corinthians 4:7-18) Likewise, when
we feel ourselves growing weary we can do the things that please
God so that in due time we will reap the eternal rewards that
God promises. (Galatians 6:8-10) We allow Christ to be our
example and remember how much He endured. In this we consider
Christ and fix our eyes on Him. (Hebrews 12:2-4) If we are
righteous, we will hold to our right way, the imitation of
Christ while cleansing our hands in the truth of Christ. (Job
17:9) Finally we learn that the good things that God gives are
satisfying and in that we find strength. (Psalms 103:5; I
Timothy 6:6)

Always have faith and trust in the Most High God. Pray
continually. Hate evil, love what is good. Pray for our brothers
and sisters. Be mindful of spiritual warfare. Keep on the watch.
Know who our real enemies are. Know the weapons they use against
us. Stay strong in our faith no matter what happens.
Be a light to the world. The more light there is, the less
darkness there will be in the world. Expose workers of darkness.
Shine a light on what they're doing. They hate that. They're
like cockroaches who scatter when the light is on. Pray against
them. Pray against evil. Pray for protection. Pray for the unity
of Christians who are divided and caught up in divide and
conquer. That's all planned by the evil ones who enjoy seeing
Christians divided. Division is weakness and makes Christians
easy targets. Christians need to unite against the common enemy.
We are not enemies of each other. That's what they want us to
believe.
In order to win the fight against evil, we must unite. The evil
ones don't take breaks or vacations from their evil plans and
actions and neither should we be complacent and not wide awake
all the time. We need to be on guard always. Prayer is the most
powerful weapon of defense against them. And in knowing and
doing all this, we are strengthened to not grow weary and to
never give up.
Christian churches need to make it top priority to be educating
their congregations about spiritual warfare. No more being
afraid to talk about it. No more being silent about it. If the
preacher doesn't know about spiritual warfare then he needs to
educate himself about it or find someone who does know about it.
No more giving sermons that doesn't mention spiritual warfare
and then sending people home to deal with it without knowing how
to do that. That's not protecting the sheep. That's putting
people in danger from ravenous wolves who by the way can easily
infiltrate Christian churches and destroy them from within
without the congregation even knowing about it till it's too
late.
It's all about spiritual warfare. Christian churches are under
attack. Christians are under attack. It's no wonder Christians
are weary. They want to destroy our faith. They want to divide
Christians. They want to secretly introduce their Satanic
teachings and try to make them sound and look good. They want to
take over Christian churches and use them as a place to
desecrate, to mock God, perform their rituals, train their
people. Christians need to know what's happening in their
churches especially on days and nights that aren't regularly
scheduled church hours for worship. They need to know who is
doing all this. Children especially need to be protected.
Because this is happening in many Christian churches. It needs
to stop.
Sorry for the TMI, Lori. I guess I got a little carried away.
It's just something that I feel very strongly about.

It's all good...I enjoyed your response and it is soooooooo
true.
We are trying to get a ministry off the ground in which we will
offer deeper teaching, think discipleship teaching. So far we
don't have a teaching on demons but maybe that should be in the
plans for the future studies. Everything is taken straight out
of scripture so we will see where God leads.

I appreciate your understanding. It's not easy to talk about
those kind of things.

that is why we need to talk about them and why the church needs
to start discipling people rather than just evangelizing them.

I could talk about what happened to me personally in regard to
what the churches I went to failed to do. They failed to
recognize the wolves that entered right into the churches and
took over positions including the position as preacher. They
failed to protect me and other children. They didn't pay
attention to what was happening in the churches during the
services or and most importantly what happened after hours when
certain people met in small groups inside the church. This kind
of thing is happening in many churches and has been for a very
long time. What I'm talking about happened up to 60 years ago.
Think how much worse it is now.
Christians seem to think that these things can't or won't happen
in their churches. They seem to think that they are immune to
it. The thing is that Christians are targets, and Christian
churches are targets, main targets in fact. So yes, it can
happen, it has happened, and it will continue to happen as long
as Christians don't know what they're dealing with, don't
recognize it, don't know what to do about it, won't even talk
about it and probably don't want to think about it.

I haven't had time to read and think really, but being
physically weary also makes the mind and the spirit weary. We
must pray for strength in Christ, within ourselves and our inner
man/woman. Pray for you mind to be renewed and for spiritual
strength and wisdom.

You and I have had different experiences but the same enemy when
it comes to what you have seen which means I understand where
you are coming from. We have seen wolves in sheeps clothing and
the church defended and protected them. But I will also say
this in hopes that it gives you hope. I have also seen churches
stand up to wolves....which is why we need to pray in faith and
persistence for the Church and it's leaders, not to mention the
sheep in their care.
