Good Morning!

Let me encourage you with these words today...Fear is no respecter of persons.  It comes against all of us from time to time.  I know that you are probably saying, "That sure doesn't sound very encouraging!"  Well, hold on a sec, I'm not done yet!  Just because you "feel" fear, doesn't mean that you have done something wrong.  The important thing here is not to let
that "feeling of fear" control you or stay around long enough to get down in your heart.

Jesus said, "Let not your "heart" be troubled, neither let it be "afraid" (Chapter 1, verses 1 and 27)...do you see the connection with "worry" and "fear"?  So the reason that we need to resist worry and fear on the onset, is to keep it from getting into our heart (or spirit).  If we allow that to happen, then the enemy will steal the word of faith out of our heart (Read the fourth chapter of Mark).... remember you cannot operate in faith and fear at
the same time!

Whenever you start to worry about something, or whenever you begin to feel "fear" trying to come upon you, STOP, open your mouth and say..." I WILL NOT FEAR!".... come on, you can start putting this in to practice right now....right where you are…say it out loud so you can hear yourself say it...open you mouth and say this..." I WILL NOT FEAR! "   (Romans 10:17 says that Faith comes by "hearing").  So if you will listen to yourself saying
that over and over, I promise you that "faith" will arise in your heart, and "faith in God" will always overcome "fear"!

Have a Blessed and ("fear-free") Day!!     In His Love,  Luanne
