In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, ~ Ephesians 1:13
Many think that to “believe” in Jesus is merely an intellectual assent. However, when the Bible speaks of believing in Jesus Christ, it means to trust in Him in the same way you trust yourself to an elevator. It is more than a mere acknowledgment of its ability to transport.
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, ... ~ Ephesians 1:19
Our God’s power is so great that He could easily turn 800 billion enemy tanks into fine powder with the flutter of an eyelash. Never, never lose sight of the victory! Don’t let the lies of enemy propaganda penetrate your mind. Remember the command, “Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; . . . yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).
To be discouraged is to dishonor God. If He is with us we must never lose courage. A blind, anemic, weak-kneed flea on crutches would have a greater chance of defeating a herd of a thousand wild stampeding elephants than the enemy has of defeating God!
