I LOVE Jerry Savelle's devotional for today!
ACT FEARLESSLY
Fear is a spiritual force. It is
one of Satan’s greatest tools to get an open door into your life. It could
manifest through the fear of not being good enough, the fear of lack, the fear
of rejection, the fear of failure.
Satan will try to intimidate you
through words, actions or external signs. But none of those things can become a
reality or come into manifestation until you act upon them.
Negative or fearful thoughts may
come into your mind, but you can refuse to meditate on them and chose to
immediately reject them. Circumstances may appear discouraging, but you can
refuse to let go of your confidence and faith in what you know about God and
His Word.
If you respond in fear and act on
intimidation, those fears can become a reality in your life. Fear will bring
things to pass just as faith will. Job said, “The thing which I greatly feared
has come upon me” (Job 3:25).
The devil can not do anything
that he wants to do anytime that he gets ready to do it. If he could, why would
he have to deceive you first? Satan is limited when he can’t get you to act on
his threats through fear.
1 John 4:18 (NIV)
tells us, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear…” And we
know from 1 John 4:8 that
God is love. Run to God, spend time with Him, act on His Word and fear will
have no place in you.
Take courageous steps of faith
and you will see God move in your life in amazing ways!
Confession: I refuse to
fear! Regardless of how I feel or what my circumstances look like, I will stand
in faith on God’s Word.
Remember, the enemy can ONLY do, in our lives, what WE allow him to do! He has NO AUTHORITY in or over the life of a born again believer who KNOWS the Covenant that he has with Almighty God! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Desert Song":
Shalom in Him!
