So many times in the Word, do we hear the Lord reminding us not to fear!
Fear seems to be gripping the hearts and minds of men ... even those who have claimed to be Believers.
We cannot allow the enemy to take control of our thoughts or our tongues, to the extent that we are fearful, speaking his messages of fear to others, through us!
The internet is a powerful tool!
I can see the enemy using it, to coerce people into fear.
With one click of a mouse, we are all able to send forth messages to multitudes of people.
We have to be Christian responsible, to weigh each message we send ... to see who the message is coming from, and the reason for it ... and the results it may bring.
We, as Christians, are to enourage, and lift up and exalt!
In today's society, as in all the past, God instructs His people to pray ... to pray in one accord!
Each and every one of us, should be doing this daily!
Prayers not only bring us closer to God, but they reveal where our hearts truly lie.
I spend a lot of time in prayer, during the course of a day.
I pray everywhere!
"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
James 5:16
As we speak, as we correspond, we are either sending message of faith, or those of fear!
If fear, we have become the ally of the enemy!
We live by faith, and not by sight!
We trust in God's Word ... and not by appearances!
Today, I lift up Your people, and I pray that You will bless their minds, their hearts.
Lord ... Lead them back to faith in You, and may they know that You are the Creator, the Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
As men look upon things, which are sent to produce fear, may Your Holy Spirit begin to witness unto them, that You are there, and near.
Father ... May Your people remember Your Word, that You have come to grant us peace ... Your perfect peace, and that in You, our peace is sustained.
Thank You today, Father, for ruling over the minds and thoughts of Your people, and for leading them to You, where they may receive peace, the peace everlasting.
In the name of Jesus, we all pray and agree, thanking You, Amen
