TRYING

"If you fail, then try, try again!" is a phrase that many people speak when they want to be encouraged.
What seems to look like failure to you is not failure in My Father's eyes.  When My Father looks at you, He sees Me and I never fail.  In fact, I never want you to try to gain victory when you feel you have failed.  Instead, give the battles with your own flesh to Me.  I know there are habits you want to break and mistakes that you wish you could correct, but release all of those feelings of failure to Me.

Remember always that My enemy wants to give you feelings of failure.  He wants to pull you down.  He loves for you to condemn yourself and he often reminds you of the times you have failed.  When you experience self-condemnation or condemnation by others, declare this aloud: "My righteousness is of Jesus Christ."  The enemy can attack your attempts to try to overcome, but he cannot attack My righteousness within you.  You are perfect and complete in Me.

Meditate on these truths and the next time you feel like a failure, remember that I never fail and I live within you.  The victory that overcomes the world is your faith.  Put all of your faith in Me and you will see the victory.
