We have come to the time in our lives when we will have to live by faith if we are going to make it through these times we are living in. Please understand, that there are two types of people on the earth; those living by fear and those living by faith. We must always be mindful that fear is a spirit and faith is also a spirit. In 2 Timothy 1:7 we see that God has not given us the spirit of fear. In 2nd Corinthians, we see that "we have the same spirit of faith." What spirit are you operating under?. Fear can be described as a distressing emotion, aroused by impending danger. That word impending means that something is about to happen. Now that we have established that fear is from Satan, we understand that the fear being presented is a lie. John 8:44 says Satan is the father of lies. Satan's plan is to kill. The bible says that in the last days, men's hearts will fail because of fear. DO NOT LET FEAR INTO YOUR HEART, IT IS A SPIRIT OF DEATH FROM THE DEVIL. We hear Jesus saying in John 14:1, "Let not your heart be troubled." Philippians 4:7 says, "The peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:14 says, "He Jesus Christ is our peace." and John 1:1 says, "He is the word, so we must use the word to guard our hearts." In these times we are living in, we must guard our hearts from fear and live by faith. Pastor Clyde |
