Good
Morning!
I
promised that I would get back to "simplifying" our lives.
In order for me to take up where I left off, I went back to the encouragement
that I sent out for Sept. 01 where I was talking about our
"thoughts" and how to stop the negative thoughts from coming
out of our mouth. The example that I used was what to
do, and what not to do when you have thoughts that cause you to be
"confused". Do not say, "I am confused"!
Say what God's Word says...."God is not the author of confusion"
(1Corinthians 14:33).
Today, I
want to show you how you can stop the thoughts that cause
"fear" from coming out of your mouth. When those thoughts come to
your mind...do not say, "I am afraid"! Do not even
let those words come out of your mouth! I know for a fact that we can do
this sometimes without even thinking about what we are "saying".
We say things like "I am afraid that we are not going to be able to pay
the rent, or I am afraid that I am going to be late, or I am afraid that I am
going to get a bad report from the doctor, or I am afraid that my kids
are going to do this or that, or I am afraid that my washing machine is not
going to last much longer". These are just some of the
"fears" that we speak out of our mouth. The point is...we can stop
those "fears" from coming to pass by simply saying what God's Word
says!
Instead
of saying, "I am afraid"...say this~~~"I will not fear!
God has not given me a spirit of fear" (2Timothy 1:7). Those three
words, "I am afraid", are no longer a part of my vocabulary!
God tells us over and over again in His Word.."FEAR NOT"! Why
did He tell us this? Because "fear" is the direct opposite of
"faith"...we cannot operate in fear and faith at the same time!
It takes "faith" for us to receive anything from God (James 1:6
& 7). Without "faith", it is impossible to please God
(Hebrews 11:6). So, it will be so much more "simple" for us if
we just say what God's Word says, instead of saying what our
"thoughts" tell us to say!
More
tomorrow~~~~~~~Do your "homework"!
Have
a Blessed Day!!
(FEAR NOT!)
In His Love, Luanne
