When Fear Shows Up

-








 

 

 

  

Fear is an uninvited guest. This encounter leads to a specific guest that tends to show up unwelcome and inhabits a place inside the mind. It's your mind and you are the boss of what goes on in there and you don't have to entertain uninvited guests. The enemy will always show up with fears and we have the power to exercise authority over the spirit of fear. God has not given us the the spirit of fear,  but of power and of love and a sound mind. (2Tim 1:7)  You are not your fears. Fear will cause spiritual paralysis. The next time you realize you are afraid or paralyzed by fear, let it go and find a place of love. Choose love as your core. God's perfect love removes all fear. We must cultivate the fear of the Lord in our hearts.

 

No matter how real your fears might seem and no matter how hard your mind 

might try to persuade you of their authenticity, it's nothing but an illusion, an 

illusion created by your mind. Fear can be blocking the answers to your prayers.

  Once you begin to feel fear, reject it. If you reject fear it can not come in. So how

 does fear come, fear comes by hearing the voice of the enemy and by pondering on his words. Don't believe the lies the enemy whispers in your ears. When the enemy whispers fearful thoughts to you, talk back to him and take authority over his threats with the Word of God.  God has given you power over the enemy. Overthrow the torments and Silence him!

 

  In addition to all of this, the fear we take in as a guest will gradually contaminate our faith,  the fear itself affects how we live out our faith. Fear is not okay. Franklin Roosevelt said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" which can be relevant as I speak of fear here. We have to replace fear with faith, and how we do that...we replace it with the Word of God; Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.  We don't need to fear, greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. Don't let fear intercept your purpose or stop you in your tracks. You are the catalyst. Stop it from being the culprit of your destiny, put God on your guest list.

 

  Prayer: Thank You, Lord, that I as long as You are with me I will not live in fear. Today I will walk by faith and not by what I see! Help me to never again believe the lies of the enemy that nothing will be able to separate me from the love of God. In Jesus name, Amen.

God is the Architect

Hello Beloveds, I know it has been a while since I have written a post, I've been on a sort of blog-hiatus. I've been spending time soul searching, reflecting, and in hope and eager expectation of rebuilding my new endeavors from the last chapter to my next one. After brainstorming, I had to prioritize my life-values goals and assess my life's purpose. Regardless of who or where you are one must prioritize discovering their purpose in life. Psalm 57:2 (AMP) says, I cry out to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf for He completes my purposes. We must trust God's divine plan and let Him be our guide knowing God is the Chief Architect and Master Builder of everything. God will take us through construction sites to shape us for His purposes. God sees the big picture. He knows the plans that He has for us, He has a specific plan for each one of us. God’s plan for our life must be consulted with the chief architect, God Himself; the designer, and...

Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Always pack your umbrella. Umbrellas can provide coverage and protection from the sun, the wind, the rain and anything that fall on you. It could be a sudden shower or downpour accompanied by hail or wind, notice there are many types of umbrellas to suit your rain needs and climate.

Today's Reflection-Wounds of Gossip

-
Once upon a time, an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested and put behind bars for no fault of his own. Days later, the poor man was proven innocent. After being released, he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.  In court, the old man told the judge, ‘ They were just random comments, they did not harm anyone.’ The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man,  ‘write all the bad things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut it up into little pieces and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out of your car window. Tomorrow, you come back to hear the sentence.’   The next day, the judge told the old man,  ‘Before receiving the sentence, I want you to go out and gather up all the pieces of paper that you threw out of your car window yesterday.  The old man said,  ‘I cannot do that. The wind spread them all over the place and I will not know where to find them . "Then th...
