Overcoming Fear: ​​A 5-Day Journey to Freedom, Faith, and the Father’s Embraceનમૂનો

Day 5
Thought for the Day: "Faith over fear. Put your trust in God. He is bigger than anything you could ever face."

Faith over fear - this is the key to overcoming fear. It is important to get to a point where you are knowledgeable of how powerful and transformative your faith is. You must know without a doubt that God is bigger than any and every obstacle that the enemy could ever try to send your way.

Your faith does not reside in your personal ability to combat the enemy by yourself because our victory is only guaranteed when we stay under God’s protection. Your faith is not rooted in a fairytale notion that trials and tribulations will simply pass us by because the truth is that your character is built through the experience of tests and trials (Romans 5:3-5). Remember, God never promised us that the weapons would not form - His eternal promise was that the weapons formed against us would not prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

Your faith rests in God. In His promise to uphold His children. In His promise to complete the good work that He has begun in you. In His promise to never leave nor forsake you. In His promise to protect you from the traps of the enemy. In His promise to be your faithful Shepherd providing all that you could ever need. In His promise that the power of sin was conquered by the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These are the promises of God, the one true and living God, in which your faith resides.

Friend, may your faith in God overpower your fear in this world. May your daily life be a living, walking, talking, and working testimony that you have come this far by faith leaning on the Lord and trusting in His Holy Word.

Living in fear, walking in fear, talking in fear, and working in fear will only guarantee that you will produce in fear a limited harvest—far from the true fullness that God has called for you to attain. God works through our faith, not our fears. God works through our trust, not our doubts. God's work is evident when we work. Continue this faith-walk with a renewed confidence that your fears are no match for your God!

So, now you may ask, how do I start living by faith? Right now in this moment pray and ask God for the strength to trust completely in His will for your life. Ask the Lord to focus your mind and your heart on His love for you and promises to prosper you and never to harm you (Jeremiah 29:11). Lastly, pray and ask the Lord for the power to push past your fears and to actively begin living a life of faith - ask for His help to do all that He has called for you to do even when you are intimidated, in Jesus' name.

Fear no longer has a home in your heart, Friend—your intentional walk in faith begins today.♥️
