10-10-2025 PART 2: Never Give Up—God’s Mercy Keeps Us Moving

SECTION 1

The first half of this message centers on transparency and endurance in ministry. After recounting the transition from KAAM 770 to HMIM Radio, the tone is both grateful and weary. Through a series of personal setbacks—family loss, accidents, and even small irritations like a staple in a tire—the reflection reminds listeners that spiritual attacks often come through the ordinary. Yet even in frustration, the right response is gratitude: “In everything give thanks.” The call goes beyond storytelling; it’s an invitation for believers to become prayer warriors, lifting up the ministry for protection, provision, and perseverance. The lesson beneath the narrative is that obedience to God’s call continues despite fatigue, discouragement, or obstacles. The ministry’s existence itself becomes a testimony that God’s will prevails when His servants refuse to stop walking forward.

SECTION 2

The second half transitions into scriptural teaching from 2 Corinthians 4:1: “Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not give up.” The key revelation is that mercy—not willpower—fuels perseverance. Human grit fades, but divine mercy replenishes strength daily. When we fail to receive God’s forgiveness, we cannot extend it to others. The teacher connects this truth to Hebrews 4:16, explaining that believers must approach the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find help. Recognizing ourselves as “God’s charity cases” isn’t humiliation—it’s liberation. Every act of endurance becomes gratitude for grace already received, not a performance for worthiness.

SECTION 3

Mercy, like “honey from heaven,” becomes the sustaining image. Some reject it, some ignore it, and some taste and find it sweet. God’s mercy is not theoretical; it’s the very reason His people can rise after every fall. The speaker marvels that God never quits on us, and therefore, we must not quit on Him. “His mercies are new every morning; great is His faithfulness.” That truth outlasts slogans and self-help mantras. The Christian’s perseverance is not powered by nationality or stubbornness but by the unending flow of divine compassion. Every new day, every new broadcast, and every new trial is met with fresh mercy—fuel enough to keep proclaiming, “We do not give up.”
