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!

God Keeps His Saints

As long as we walk in love and forgiveness toward others, Father God will keep us from all the storms that come against us. This is one of His precious promises.

However, we must trust in the Lord and Not be afraid or doubt His ability to keep us. We must keep our minds filled with God's word in order to have the victory.

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our Faith...." (Hebrews 12:2).

This is where Faith plays a vital role in walking in love. We need Faith to believe what God has promised will manifest in our lives. Try to be thankful for where you life is now and surrender all of yourself to God, then His agape love will enable you to walk in love towards others.

He sent His Word and healed me.

I stand in awe, at the healing power of God. That I can cry out to Jesus for healing, and He hears me, and heals me is an amazing wonder to behold. His Word is true! His promises are true!

His healing power is not just a one-time event, but it is, in fact, continuous whenever I need it. Sometimes I don't have to ask and I never have to beg. God is a good God.

Sickness and disease never glorifies God, the healing does. I pray to be in God's perfect will for His will is not for me to be sick but to walk in health all of my days.

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper an be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3John 1:2).

To me prosperity is good health. No amount of money can buy good health, and no amount of riches can make my soul to prosper, only God can. As my faith and my devotion to God grows so does my soul prosper.

Prayer Is The Key

To be spiritualy independent of God by making decisions apart from praying for His guidance and His will on the subject is a very risky venture. This type of independence invokes a spirit of self-sufficiency and grieves the Holy Spirit.



When we pray to God in the name of Jesus, He puts a hedge around us which is like a spiritual immunological system to prevent demonic oppression and interference toward our prayers. We show reverence and honor, as well as obedience when we consult God in prayer.



Next, we must wait for an answer before acting if we do not want to act amiss. It doesn't matter how long it takes to get a right answer, patience will bring blessings and the right decisions.

SPIRITUAL GEMS

Jesus wouldn't have said, "follow me," if it wasn't possible. For this purpose He became a man and lived on earth to show us the way.

Anytime you try to be anything other than a Christian, you are out of place.

Jesus is the Master at making champions out of failures.

Stay always in an attitude of expecting a blessing.

God deals with no two individuals alike.

In Jesus we loose nothing worth keeping and we gain everything worth having.

Selfishness keeps you from totally yielding to the Lord and walking in His Word(ways).

The world offers you a peace based on circustances and a love based on conditions.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

THIS NEW YEAR LET THE FIRM RESOLVE OF YOUR HEART BE TOWARD MORE PRAYER. OUR LOVE OF GOD IS EXPRESSED THROUGH PRAYER.



Our nation is in a spiritual civil war;

• Pray for darkness to be removed by the glorious light of Jesus Christ penetrating through the souls of men in charge of making life changing decisions for our country.

Pray for the change in government leadership to be God's will and not man's.

Pray for the boundaries of our nation to be safe and secure from the raging anger of terrorist.

Pray for our country to be spared from the shadow of famine and economic collapse hovering over our monetary system.

And finally, pray for the deceived minds of lost souls to be set free in Christ Jesus.

CAN YOU HEAR THE CRIES OF A DYING WORLD? If so, PRAY!!
