In 11 Tim.1:7 it says, For God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. What a powerful promise for you and me today and every day. He gives us power, to overcome all fear, we are more than conquerors because of His great love and as we commune with Him, we are lifted high above all fear. And our mind is still as we keep our thoughts focused on Him, instead of building up fear in our minds. We need to build up faith in Him, for He is forever faithful. Sometimes it is easy for our minds to get carried away in fearful thoughts when an unexpected thing comes our way. It could be a health issue, financial struggle, or family problems etc. but whatever the situation big or small we need to stand strong. As we read His word and spend time in His presence, we will gain strength and we are empowered to live a life of faith. Many times, in our weakest moments the enemy will attack and cause us to fear. He wants us to live down under so he can get in a few extra punches. But God has given us authority to keep him under our feet and overtake his lies. We can rise above with the spiritual weapons God has given us, which are His sword (His word) and weapon of prayer. As we do, His power ignites a fire to burn every fearful thought and cast off each care. When we do, we will overcome and live in victory instead of defeat. God says multiple times in His word, Do, not fear. So, let us focus on Him and gain His strength and power to be an overcomer. We have truly nothing to fear when we put our total trust in Him. We serve a God who keeps His promises and He will never let us down.
Lord Jesus,
Greater are You in me, than he that is in the world. I stand on Your word and refuse to let the spirit of fear overtake me.
I will not let fearful thoughts take over my mind. I will keep my emotions under control. I will release the power of the Holy Spirit over my mind and rebuke all fear. I receive the promise of Your love, for I know I am Yours and You are mine.
I will put my mind to rest on Your promise and I will stand on the power of Your word. Thank You Lord for I know with You I can do all things.
In Your precious and powerful name, Amen and Amen.
A Great Thought to Ponder: If God can create the universe and everything in it in 6 days, He can also work in you and make you a powerful man/woman, according to His word, if you let Him. Hallelujah!!
Be blessed with the power of His word my sweet sisters and dear brothers.
Love Lollita
