1.2.2021 – What do we do in the face of “intimidation” and “discouragement?”

January 2, 2021

What does “discouragement” really mean? To discourage means “to deprive of confidence, hope or spirit; dishearten, daunt.” Afflict, beat down, demoralize, depress, dismay, distress, frighten, intimidate, irk, and trouble are synonyms of the word discourage.” I had a series of dreams last night, and so I’ve spent some time looking at those, digging into them with the Lord this morning.
