I Believe in His Promise

+I Refuse to let the spirit of fear over take me

+I Receive God’s Love in His Promise and I Trust Him

+I Release the Power of the Holy Spirit to take over

+I Rest in His Promise of a sound mind

After I read 11 Timothy 1:7 that God does not give the spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind I was inspired to write this message. Just a few days after it I received a phone call from a family member who informed me of a serious matter. When I got off the phone this scripture came to my mind and I read through the steps and applied them to my life. That day could have been a disaster for me if I was to allow my mind to get carried away in fearful thinking. But instead I trusted God in His promise.

+I refused to let the spirit of fear overtake me. I would not enable it to implant fearful thoughts that would cause my mind to be frantic. I did not lose control of my emotions, but I let Jesus take control of the whole situation.

+I released the power of the Holy Spirit God has given me and rebuked all fear.

+I received the promise of God’s love and I know I am His and He is mine and I can trust Him.

+I put my mind to rest on His promise of peace and soundness of mind and let the waves of tranquility flow…

I went on with my plans that day and I have to admit the Lord blessed me with an awesome day regardless of the news. I believe it is from the power of His word applied to my life. God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. He always makes a way to escape temptation and that includes fleeing from fear when it hits us. It is a natural reaction to become fearful at first when something occurs beyond what we can handle. But that’s when we can stand on God’s word and apply the power of His promise to work on our behalf to overcome our natural response. As we respond with the spiritual tools God has designed for us in His word His power ignites a fire to burn every fearful thought. When we do, we will overcome and live in victory instead of defeat. By the way the serious matter I was informed about ended up working out. The devil wants us to live down under so he can get in a few extra punches. But God has given us authority over him to rise up and take him down for the only place he should stay is under our feet. God bless you sweet sisters and dear brothers and I pray this word will be an encouragement to you today. Love & Prayers, Lollita Faith
