The message for today- Faith and Fear !

Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God

The message for today- Faith and Fear !

First question for today, did you thank God for waking you up today? Have you prayed or spoken to Him (Our Father) and asked Him to continually to transform your mind daily into the man or woman, He has called you to be? Our faith comes from relying on God and His faithfulness. You know the story of Jesus calming a storm right? Now this message is for the followers of Christ, Us! But get this in the storm Jesus was sleeping, now get understanding children of God, fear overcame the disciples, they woke him (Jesus) up...He says to them You Of Little Faith. It's in Matthew 8:23-27,Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him! But the next question, where is your faith in God? Are you living with faith or fear ? I have four brothers and four grandchildren, they always ask me why you're not afraid? First I told them, It's because,I hold God to His Promises (Word) for me, He cannot lie, and I'm never alone. God promised to never leave you or (me) nor forsake you or (me). Amen !  No one can do anything to me unless God has allow it, don't be foolish in your way of thinking okay? This means my focus is on God's Word and trusting that He will take care of me always. I'm not saying that people cannot harm or hurt me okay? What I'm saying, it's not my concern about what people might say or do to me since God is for me. This is faith walking and living daily, not on what you see and feel, but on what you know for yourself. This walk with God is a personal relationship for me with Him. So, how can we know His will and Word without studying it? Now, get this children of God regardless of our feelings, regardless of our situations, regardless of the falling world around us, God is still in control. Look at Hebrews 11:1,  Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. If you are living your life according to the will of God, he promises throughout scripture to never leave you nor forsake you. Ask him what His will is for you and learn to follow it with boldness. For me if God doesn't answer my prayers, I stand still and wait on His answer and His timing. We may not always understand His ways, but we can rest in assurance that His ways are always good for us and always on time. Why do you worry? Instead of worrying, you should spend your time seeking God's plan. By praying and reading the Word of God (Bible) daily, you will be renewing your mind and thoughts. In Psalm 111:10 The only fear you should have is the fear of God. Who do you fear ? Come stay with me, we cannot walk around with faith and fear. Sometimes you have to pray and trust God's plan and His purpose. The word of God tells us that we walk by faith not by sight right ? Faith overcomes fear always. In Romans 10:17, Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Speak over yourself Psalm 23:4-5,Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Thank you Lord, because sometimes, God will allow us to be in the presences of our enemies and it's okay trust Him. God always have a plan and purpose for us spiritual. Heavenly Father we cry out to you help us to grow in our faith walk daily. Let's us speak, Psalm 27:1-3,Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. Let us have more of your spirit of self discipline and trust of your word. Abba, we cannot overcome the things of the world without the power and authority (position) by your Word. Amen !

Scriptures to Meditate on this week :

1 John 3:1-3,See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

1 John 5:1-5,Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
