The Courage to Keep Going – Dr. Charles Stanley
Do you want to give up on your marriage, job, children, financial situation, or other personal struggle? We often feel tempted to quit when we’re in the middle of such difficult circumstances, but giving up is not consistent with who we are as followers of Jesus Christ.
In this message, Dr. Stanley shares how the apostle Paul is a perfect example of someone who never gave up in spite of persistent difficulty and hardship. From his life, we can see how we, too, can gain strength and motivation by acknowledging:
– The awareness of God’s presence with us
– The experience of God’s strength within us
– The assurance of the Lord’s will for us
– The overflowing joy that fills us
– The life-changing lessons God teaches us
– The fruit God’s truth produces through us
– The reward God has promised us
– The vision of the cross always before us
– Our love and devotion to Jesus Christ
How we react and respond to the trials of life is a choice we make. Knowing these great promises of God, how will you face the difficulties ahead – with fear, hopelessness, rebellion or courage?
This message is part of the series "The Courage to Stand."

I am 15 years old and all my life I’ve been an atheist. But now I have found faith in the lord:) I’ve been trying to learn the bible my uncle gave me before he passed and I’m trying to keep motivated to learn the bible and read it:) There be a lot of times I try to read the bible but I just get drowned by random thoughts distracting me from reading I try to ignore but I ain’t trying to let my thoughts distract me from reading but it is hard to focus specially watching this video but I’m trying to keep my focus.
It’s the enemy trying to distract you!! Don’t let him!
You have a purpose brother and that is to use your experiences to help others in Jesus name. If you really want Christ in your heart ask him inside and believe he died for our sins. He is real trust me I have seen him do miracles in my life and others. Dr Stanley is legit. Your uncle did his part and passed on the message. Jesus wants a real relationship where we live for him and let me tell you when you do you’ll be the happiest you’ve ever been with the most peace. Just be aware the enemy is always going to try and separate you from God through whatever distraction either object or person. Reject him and watch what God does for you bro.
I have faith that you will continue to read the Bible and stay close to the Lord. You are making your way to Heaven now. The devil will always try to keep you away from God but you will overcome the evil demons and win the battle..I’m so happy to have read your post. God is real..
We listen to Charles Stanley every Saturday night where I live. I get a real blessing learning his messages. I also listen to Joel Osteen. He helps me understand the Bible in a way that is personal to me. God bless you in your new Christian life. 🙏✝️
@@elizabethbelt6413 I wouldn’t listen to Joel Osteen as a Pastor, he’s actually a motivational coach.
This old preacher man preaches the old time religion , and I love him. It’s about time the truth is preached. We are tired of church entertainment and drama. We need the word of God to make us grow. This man of God breaks it down so well. Am blessed today and I feel good. Regards and love from Kenya.
I am also cancer patient..but God healed amazingly. All glory to God..amazing sermon..God always motivate us to move further in our life.
Amen!❤❤❤
An amazing healing from an Amazing God!! May you continue with good health in 2024, placing all your trust in Him (as Dr. Stanley would say: “No matter what”)!
Hallelujah ❤
I’m not sure if anyone would read this, I am a senior pastor of a thriving church in South Florida as I’m driving to work this morning contemplating walking away from the church this message popped up on my YouTube, I just want to say God has perfect timing for all situations thank you Dr. Stanley and in touch for being obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit
Don’t give up Pastor Brooks, listen to this message and obey God, everything will be alright! Stay in God’s word. I will pray for you brother. Remain faithful.

God bless You Paster

I lost the job of my dreams in 2010. Shortly after I gave up on myself thinking I’ll never be enough to accomplish what I wanted. I started listening to you Dr. Stanly. You brought me closer to the lord, my Savior. Just got through shopping for groceries and I am thankful…thankful for a mother who cared about her son’s salvation, your salvation! Your sermons have changed me, I found my Faith in the Lord from your words. Today, I’m strong, blessed, and happy.
GOD has changed you, Give him the praise. Charles Stanley was just a messenger from GOD.
Always remember to give GOD the glory and him only.❤
Praise God!
Please share some more of your testimony…so many years gone by and Your HAPPY!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I am begging for my prayer warriors to pray for my 20 year old son who suffers from an eating disorder, anxiety & depression. I see him slowly giving up on the promise of healing. God bless you all 🙏💯

Who else is watching this after Dr. Stanley’s passing? He’s still touching thousands with his words.
Watching this on 4/27/2023 at 12:29am. I thank the Lord for the beauty of technology so that his voice and his teachings are always with us all. He will be truly missed but his life and legacy is an inspiration to us all.
It’s not his words it’s the words of the Holy Spirit. This man is extremely anointed.
Watching now April 30, 2023 4pm
His teaching lives on..
✋️
I want to give up because I am a failure in my relationships. I am lonely. I feel like God has no one for me. Anyone reading this, please pray that God will restore my hope ❤
Just hang in there God will send you somebody. God bless and keep your head up
Your most important relationship is with Jesus
He will never leave you nor forsake you!
His timing is PERFECT
I almost died backslidden and needing love too, but I cried to God, “I want to live!” – After that dreadful weekend, the following Monday I met a Pastor on the job, no doubt I needed to get close to God, and I did. – Shorty after cleaning myself up at church I was introduced to a quiet plain but pretty woman, and have been married since ’88. You won’t die, if you want to live. And I wasn’t looking for a woman, I was looking to God, and she was there all the time, my Nora.
“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you” – Jesus, in Matthew –
I’m so sorry that you are feeling that way. I’m praying for you 🙏 God loves you.
My thoughts and prayers.
I’ve been listening to Charles Stanley since the 80’s and I’m not about to quit. He’s in heaven and in my heart forever. What a powerful pastor/speaker/encourager. ❤
The best
Charles Stanley and Billy Graham 👍😊👍
@@michaelbates5375 I once knew a Michael Bates from southern cal. His mom was Marcia my very dear friend. Is this him?

This is a proof that the words of God will not pass, Ptr. Stanley passed away but his messages still soothes every ones live. Every morning his messages encourages me! Keep on, keeping on no matter what!
I listen to him daily. I love his sermons. It’s amazing how God is still using him to share the gospel, and I am so grateful that he is.❤
😂every time I have need..i find what I need from him. i need to love and be loved again. i need to rejoice that my husband is with the Lord…but what about me??? i am alone, old, and unhappy.
😮i am not giving up hope that I Have not been forgotten. I trust and have Faith that that this too will end…for the better.
Same in here. ❤
Me too!!!
I listened to Charles Stanley for 35 years and his message still is amazing even though he is in the presence of God.
I’m going through difficult times right now and I’m thankful for finding this sermon. I pray that God gives me the strength to make it through this and return my family to me. Amen
I’m watching today, 9/12/23. I have always loved Dr. Stanley! I had all but given up, but the Lord showed Himself to be ever faithful! 🌺⚓️🌺
God blessed me with Dr Stanley a couple of weeks after my 20 yr. old son died, changed my life!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Lord!
I got brain cancer –
“A warrior I am, against this foe,
This battle I’ll win, and make it show.
The chemo’s tough, but I’m tougher still,
My strength and spirit, I won’t let it kill.
Though the cancer tries to take its toll,
I’ll fight with all my heart and soul.
I’ll stand up strong, with courage and grace,
And show the world, I’ll win this race.” Jesus heals!
Amen! May the great physician perfect your healing
🙏✝️💕🕊️
I have also battled cancer. I love this poem
YOU WIN NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS
Beautiful poem, stay strong in your faith.❤
