WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  FIGHTING FEAR

In Job we find a verse that sums up why we should not walk in fear.

Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

 The fear was bigger to us than our faith in God. When people focus on their fears, they will find a way to manifest. It’s like if you ever read your horoscope of the morning and it says something’s going to happen, if you truly believe that horoscopes are real then you’ll find a way to make that happen. Then they will say, my horoscope said that this thing was gonna happen. If you wait until the end of the day and read it, none of that happened, because it wasn’t what you focused on, the suggestion was not there to manipulate your thoughts.

The same goes for fear, if worry and anxiety is at the forefront of your thoughts, then the things you worry about will manifest in your life. Fear is from the enemy. He wants nothing more than to distract our focus from God. He loves to cause us to be caught up in fear. When we walk in fear we cannot hear God clearly. We spend a lot of energy being tormented by the enemy.

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.

We will not fear if we can fully accept that Jesus has got us. Fear is the enemy trying to get us to lean on our own understanding and ideas. Fear causes us to read things into our situations that do not belong. And through the manipulation of the enemy we start to believe the fears. Anyone who has ever been bound by the spirit of fear or by anxiety will verify that it is torment. Which puts us where the enemy wants us. But we don’t have to live in torment. Jesus is our peace. We fight the battle in our minds. We fight the fiery darts of fear and anxiety with the word of God. Keeping our focus on our faith will go a long way in alleviating the lies that create fear.

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

This says that fear doesn’t come from God. If it’s not from God then there is only one other place it could come from; our enemy. God gives us power to overcome the enemy. He gives us power to endure our trials. He gives us love and peace in our minds. We have a choice in the matter, whose report are we going to believe? God’s report says we have a sound mind. God’s report that says we have peace that passes all understanding.  Will we allow fear to overtake us and believe all the lies of the enemy. The battle is truly in our minds. We can be overcomers by quoting the word to the enemy. If you don’t know it well enough to quote it, open the word and read it to the enemy. When we resist the devil, he has to flee and take his fear and anxiety with him.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
