With God all things are possible

| Fear is the opposite of faith. We receive from the enemy fear, we receive feom God faith. Fear is the enemy's brand of faith, his counterfeit of it. We can know and do God's will through placing our faith in Him, but we can cooperate with the devil's plan through fear. When we are afraid, we may fail to do what God's wants us to do and, instead, end up doing what the devil wants us to do. The Old Testament man Job said what he feared came upon him. Job 3:25, which is exactly what the enemy wanted for him and what he wants for us. The enemy is the author of fear, not God. 2 Timothy 1:7 says God has not given us a spirit of fear, but the power, and we need to apply this truth to our lives and refuse to live any way other than powerfully.
In 1 Timothy 6:12, Paul encouraged Timothy to " fight the good fight of faith". We all need to fight this good fight and I believe meditating g on and confessing God's Word is the way to do it. Remember , we are in a war on this earth.
In John 1:5 the light shines in the darkness , but the darkness has not understood it. 3 Through him all things were made; without him NOTHING was made that had been made. In Him WAS LIFE, and THAT LIFE was the LIGHT of men.
When Satan comes to attack you with fear, make sure you are filled with faith so there will be no place of entrance for him. Fear and faith cannot coexist : whee you have one, you will not have the other. God's Word build faith in your heart, so use it and you will keep fear out of your life.
Jesus, said, I am the way, the truth and the life.
No matter how dark life becomes, with a mustard seed of faith, that flicker of light is hope, IS GOD!
Have a BLESSED Monday
Father God, guide me today to do all things that will bring glory and honor to You Amen  | |
