WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: NO FEAR

Do not allow the enemy to cause you to react with FEAR. In the 1980’s there used to be a commercial for a brand of deodorant. The slogan was never let them see you sweat.  It would show different scenarios that were stressful. Then they would say because the person was using their product, their stress didn’t show.

We do not make clear decisions when faced with stressful situations if we allow anxiety to factor into the equation.  When we are faced with stressful situations the enemy has created, we have nothing to fear. We can say, Never, let him see you sweat. Never let him see your fear or anxiety. It is satan’s job to create scenarios that put us into stress. The opposite would be peace. Jesus is the prince of peace. He removes all anxiety and replaces it with peace that passes all understanding.

Satan plants seeds of fear and doubt. Satan is afraid of our father. Actually, when a child of God gets a hold on their identity and realizes who they are in Christ, it is the devil that is sweating. He knows that we will no longer be pushed around. We have to fight the enemy with resistance to his fear seeds.

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

Instead of letting him sit on our shoulder and whisper what if this? What if that? What if, what if, what if? We have the power to resist those thoughts and tell the devil, I am not listening to you. Go away. By refusing to listen he has to leave.

God will never leave us alone. We can count on him to be our defense and our strength. The things that happen in this life we cannot always control. But we can control how we react to them. We have to walk by faith, allowing what we know about God to give us strength.  We know that he has promised to never leave us. He has promised to take care of us. By trusting him to do what he has promised, we are fighting fear.

Phil 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

His word says he will supply all we need. If that need is physically, spiritually, emotionally or financially it makes no difference, He will provide.  We cannot allow the enemy to cause fear.

Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? We have no reason to fear. The Lord is our strength, we have no reason to be afraid of the enemy. It doesn’t matter what the enemy does, we cannot allow satan to get to us.

Psalm 27:2-5 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

We have to be determined to fight back. We have to stand strong we will persevere as long as we keep our focus on God. Fear is not faith. As long as we walk in faith, we will not fall into fear.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

If God doesn’t give us fear it is safe to say it comes from satan. God gives us power over the powers of the enemy. He gives us love so we can share it with the world. He makes our minds strong so that we will not be deceived by the enemy.

Prov 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. It is easy to fall into the fear of man. We all have a basic instinct to be accepted. It is easy to fall into the fear of men. But it is a snare that keeps us bound. If we can break free and only put our trust in the Lord, we will be safe. He will work things out for our good.

I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Fear hath torment because it is a constant loop of anxiety. What if, What if, What if? Perfect love comes from God. He will help deliver us if we allow him to set us free.

If you haven’t already voted, today is the day. The rest of us need to pray for election integrity and that God’s will be done.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
