WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode is: WALK IN PEACE

Many opinions have been aired in the past days since the attempt on President Trumps life. I want to share mine. We are in unstable times. But make no mistake God is in control.

As children of God, we cannot allow ourselves to be overtaken with anger. I have been through the emotions of shock, anger and overwhelming sadness for the victims that were minding their own business and their families. My heart goes out to the family of the shooter. Any life lost is a potential soul that the church allowed to slip through our fingers.

I want to encourage you today, that we need to be united more than ever as the body of Christ. There is not a devil in hell that can stand against us, if we walk in love and unity. Because there is a strength in that unity, it concentrates God’s power on earth. In the middle of the worst chaos, we can walk in peace. Because our peace doesn’t come from our circumstance. Our peace comes from the Lord.

Phil 4:7 – And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

It doesn’t matter how much chaos is going on around us, we can have peace. This is a peace that only God can give because it passes all understanding. It is impossible for our human mind to comprehend how we feel peace, when logically we know that we should be feeling anything but peace.

Psalm 91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.  3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

God’s truth is our shield. He will give us peace and strength to face each new day. There is safety and when we put ourselves in God’s care, he will protect us and give us strength.

Part of having peace is to not allow fear to overtake us when we see horrible things happening. The opposite of faith is fear. The enemy will insert fear at every turn. As we see bad things unfold before our eyes, we cannot give in to the enemy and allow ourselves to fall into fear.

When we see these things happening, we need to hit our knees. Prayer will overcome the emotions of fear, anxiety and all that the enemy tries to put on us.

I know I say this a lot,

2 Cor. 5:7  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

We cannot look at how scary things appear. It is a scary thought that someone tried to kill our president. It is scary when we get personal news that looks like there is no way out of the situation. Many things will come our way in life. It is how we deal with them that affects the outcome. Do we cower and get into our emotions of fear and anxiety? If we do, things will take a bad turn. But if we stand strong in our faith and face the enemy, he will cower.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

If we submit ourselves to God and resist the devil he will flee. Because when we submit to God, we come under his covering. We have power over the enemy.  When we resist and not allow him to fill our minds with negativity and fear, we gain the strength to keep going.

Do not be discouraged, keep praying, keep looking up. God is with us if we are with him. That is the key, America is going to have to turn to God and resist the devil.

I am remined of the story of Jehosophat. It seemed like the enemy was all around and there was no hope. But they changed their focus from the enemy to God. They began to worship.

2 CHR 20:15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

I say to the enemies of all mighty God. You will not prevail. The more you do to put God’s people in fear. The more we are going to worship our God and look to him.

To my brothers and sisters I say, Pray for our country, Pray for the victims of this assassination attempt and their families. Now is the time to make sure we are walking in God’s peace and love. Keep the faith and stay strong. The battle is not ours, but God’s.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
