The word for the weekend - Fear !

The word for the weekend - Fear !

 

We need to be aware of things at all times, we have to resist fear! Everyday we are in a battle field.The Bible is very clear on the existence of spiritual warfare. Peter warns us that we are to be “self-controlled and alert at all times", read 1 Peter 5:8,Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. So, the word says, do not be afraid, I AM with you, read Deuteronomy 20:1,When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than you, be not afraid of them: for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.Who and what we surround ourselves with affects us, through life, we need to be encourage by the word of God. God's word is truth and life, read  John 14:6, Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. Understand this, truth is a representation of things as they are, Jesus is the fountain of all truth. Knowing that the Lord will restore all things and people ( the believers) back to Himself  is a real encouragement for the depressed soul. Read James 4:7-8, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.We need to seek the Kingdom of God first. When God is first and foremost in our lives, Satan lacks power over us, despite his attempts to weaken our efforts to pursue Christ. Read Deuteronomy 20:4,For the LORD your God is he that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. Thank you Father for saving us, read John 10:9,I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. All things work together for your  good when your in Christ Jesus.We are His sheep, we can go in and out when we go in the right door. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
