TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Christ is not weak in his dealings with you; he is a mighty power among you." (2 Corinthians 13:3 NLT).
TODAY'S WORD , God´s desire is that we continually progress, that we reach higher heights and go to new levels. Oftentimes, as soon as we make the decision to step out in faith and obey God, the enemy brings in fear to try to stop us. He´ll bring thoughts like, "What if you fail? What are other people going to think? You don´t have what it takes." He´ll do his best to use fear to try to convince us to shrink back and stay where we are. I have been feeling this in my own heart these last number of months as I see a new destiny for the church I pastor and the people God has called us to reach. The Bible says that fear is a spirit. It plays on our emotions and holds us back. But the good news is that we have power over fear! The Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear. When we receive God´s perfect love, we will have confidence about the future because we know His plans are for our good. I´ve heard it said that fear is an acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real. Understand that fear is a lie. Today, choose to believe God´s Word and receive His love so that you can overcome fear and move forward into the good life He has prepared for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father in heaven, thank You for giving me power, love, and a sound mind. I open my heart to You and receive Your perfect love. Fill me with Your confidence and assurance to embrace everything You have for me. In Jesus´ Name. Amen. |
| We sure love you!
