Set Your Focus on Jesus

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

"An be renewed in the Spirit of your mind;" (Ephesians 4:23).

So many people are professing fear of losing their minds to Alzheimer's disease, or to the overwhelming economic circumstances that they find themselves in today. However, God's word promises that IF you remain Focused on Him and His word those fears will not overtake you. Only believe, and have Faith that you will overcome.

We are so prone to think that true happiness consists in our positive circumstances, but it does not. Circumstances are the finger of God pointing us in the direction He wants us to follow. Even the storms will bring Glory to Him and eventually peace and happiness to us if only we believe.

I must remain focused on Jesus Christ and His promises; not on worldly distractions that will try to confuse and defeat me. I purpose in my heart and mind to be an overcomer. To rule and reign with Jesus Christ, seated in the heavenly places, is all that matters to me now. I surrender ALL!

"Set you affection on things above, not on things on the earth,"
(Colossians 3:2).
