Our Nation Is In the Grips of Fear

"Fear Not" is what the Word of God says over and over again but, what is so often the case, very few people heed the words of wisdom found in the Bible. Anything that takes away your freedom or your precept ion of freedom produces fear.

That's what happened to me when I was having a constant diet of the morning news, the afternoon news and of course the evening and late night news. Fear began to creep over me and I was experiencing panic and anxiety instead of faith and peace. I gradually lost sight of God's word that clearly says in:

2Timothy 1:7 -
"For God has not given us the spirit of fear;but of power, and love, and of a sound mind." (KJV).

Fear negates Faith. Faith leads and fear drives. Both demand to be fulfilled and both demand your attention. Both have access to your thoughts.

I Overcame fear with prayer and a renewed mind. I went back to feeding on God's promises in His word that He would never leave me or forsake me, or leave me hungry and begging for bread. I meditated on His faithfulness and gradually my peace returned.

I realized later on that fear is a sin because, it doubts God's ability to fulfill His promises. Consequently, I repented and then I was filled with a "peace that passes all understanding."

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not you heart be troubled neither let it be afraid." John 14: 27 (KJV).

I Can't Help Praising His Name

I am ever so thankful that Father God is real and His Word is true, (John 7:28 & 8:26 KJV).
He sent His Word and healed me, (Psalm 107:20 KJV).

During the month of March I literaly walked through the shadow of death with Father God at my side, and going before me, and covering my back. Surrounded by His presence and knowing in my spirit that it was not yet time for me to surrender my soul to the dust I persevered in prayer and faith.

I cried out and He heard me, He saw my tears, and He healed me, (Psalm 30:2).

Good health, perfect health, sustaining health is more precious than all of the money in the world. Never, never, take it for granted. If you have it, guard it with prayer and thanksgiving along with proper eating habits and a moderate lifestyle.

Be Blessed!
