Fear Not
Fear is the opposite of faith and will not work to bring the things of
God.Cast it down.You are responsible to do that for "God has not given
us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind".
Bind the renewed mind of Christ to yourself each day when you "put on
your armor".What good is armor when the mind is full of fear?
A sound mind will keep away the fear.It will speak God's truth to you
and have you cast down the enemy's lies.
The lies grow more subtle as we grow in Christ.It is not so easy to fool
us with the same obvious patterns, so the evil one takes the mold and
refines it a little.He knows the record of the past, and he would keep
throwing it at your face, but you are no longer foolish and unequipped.
Things are more subtle.Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's nudgings and
follow through in prayer.Ask God to reveal the hidden things that need
to be revealed. He will!!He will pour light into those dark places.He
will give you word of knowledge.He says,"call on Me and I will answer
thee, and show thee mighty things which thou knowest not."AND, if you
are unsure and cannot hear, or have peace.SPEAK. as Jesus did, and
say"satan get thee behind me."
You have all authority in Christ and because of His victory with His
shed blood.Remember that price and do not let it be in vain.You are only
a victim if you allow yourself to be one.What you think and what you
speak is what you will get, so refine your thoughts as well as your
mouths.The word of God protects as well as the armor.Resist the devil
and he will flee from you. Yes,YOU RESIST!
It is time to birth the things of God and to run with the plan He has
for your life.He has equipped you.He is with you.Pray unceasingly.Read
the Word.Much of a victory is based on the preparation.Are you prepared
for what He has for you?Are you confident in who you are in Christ.Are
you filled with His Word?Do you believe it?
Do not miss your season.There is a turning going on, and new positions
will need to be filled.He is promoting those who are ready.He is opening
positions in high places. Do not be afraid if He calls you to do a new
thing!He knows who you are and what you are made of.Stretch yourself and
step into your destiny.If God be for you, who can be against you?
