Peace Is A Power

Fear is usually underLYING before anything, there is NO truth in it.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

 - 2 Timothy 1:7

When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
Have no fear of sudden disaster
or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
for the Lord will be at your side
and will keep your foot from being snared. -Proverbs 3:24-26

Remember Christ overcame death fear and the grave.

Break the spirit of fear and random fear in the name of Jesus!
Scripture says do not fear. That means BE confident in GOD. Confront fear and fight for your peace. Your peace is worthy. Be a fighter, Be a prayer warrior. Pray everywhere you go! Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. - James 4:7

We cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; - 2 Corinthians 10: 5

That means bind and break the spirit of fear. "Bring every thought into captivity so you can crush the ones that are invalid.

Count It All Joy

By: Dr. April J. Lisbon

Have you ever been in a place and space where everything around you was chaotic? Have you ever found yourself in a place where it was hard to concentrate on relationships or work? How many times have you felt like your life was spiraling out of control to depths unknown?

When your mind is consumed with things that are out of your control, it does feel like you are losing your grip on this journey we call life. In those moments, you may find it hard to find the sweet spots when faced with adversity. Understand that our trials and tribulations are meant to build us up and not tear us down.  In James 1:2-3 NKJV it clearly tells us “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” 

God uses our faith to position us for our higher purpose. Don’t allow the fears and worries of the world to live in your mind rent free. Why? The world has no idea what it’s cost you to be where you are today.  

I want to encourage you today that God hears your heart and sees your tears. He never promised that life would be easy BUT He did state He would always be near. Recondition your mindset to find joy in all you do even when it’s hard---even when you don’t feel like it. Push through the pain. Push through the tears. Whatever you do keep on pushing until the results of your prayers become your reality. Take one day at a time and celebrate every step of your journey. 

Remind yourself daily that you have everything you need to fulfill your purpose.  Count it all joy!
