T.O.D.A.Y.'S ENCOURAGEMENT for Oct. 05, 2010
T.O.D.A.Y. Ministries Good Morning! I apologize for being so late sending
this out, but sometimes I have my own personal "mountains" that have to be dealt
with. That is when I get to "practice what I preach"!
In the meantime, I want to encourage
all of you to spend time in God's Word. You have the same Holy Spirit inside of
you that I have, and He will teach you how to "speak" to those mountains that
get in your way. If FEAR one of them...then start talking "covenant-talk" to
that spirit of FEAR. I am going to give you a scripture that you can start
building on....2 Timothy 1:7 says very simple and plain that God has not given
you a "spirit of fear"! Which means that "fear" is not IN you....it has to come
from the outside and try to get ON you! So, when that happens...open your mouth
and say this~~~~~ "I WILL NOT FEAR! GOD DID NOT GIVE ME A
SPIRIT OF FEAR"! Whenever, you feel "fear" trying to come upon you....say that
again! Keep saying it until it becomes real to you! Remember this~~~~ you will
need to QUIT saying things like....."I am so afraid"! Many times people say that
without even realizing that they are "feeding" that spirit of fear. They say...I
am afraid that I may get laid off from my job...or, I am afraid my kids are
going to get in with the wrong crowd...or, I am afraid we aren't going to have
enough money to pay our bills....or all of the other things people say they are
"afraid" of. When they say those kind of things, they are just making that
"mountain" bigger and bigger! Why? Because they are "speaking" contrary to the
Word of God! God has told us to FEAR NOT! You cannot keep the spirit of fear
from trying to come on you....but you CAN keep it from STAYING on you! Ask the
Holy Spirit to show you other scriptures that will help you in that area! This
same "principle" will apply to any other mountains you may be confronted with!
So, find out what God's Word has to say about them, and then start talking
Covenant-talk! I am looking forward to sharing more
with all of you when I come back! But right now, I 'gotta' do what I 'gotta' do,
and that is.....be obedient! Have a Blessed Day!! (Keep talking
"Covenant-talk"!) In His Love, Luanne

Anyway, The Lord is dealing with me
once again to take some time off. He always has a reason for this, and He knows
what is best for me and this ministry (which involves many other things besides
the daily Encouragements). Maybe I will be back next week.
Remember, you can go to our web site, click on the Archives link, and find all
of my previous Encouragements.
