My Devotion for Today!

By: Blumhart.... 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

You must become a simple child who, believing in Jesus, puts his hope in the kingdom of God--one who never gives up believing that God will direct you to the good. Be a witness to the unseen God who sends his powers so that your inner person--your own disturbed, confused personality--is restored to order.

Bear witness to the great God and you will see how people will gather around you. And then, when you experience this and hear how the people lament, and when you yourself feel incalculable pain, then witness to God all the more. Do not let your faith, love, patience, and humility depend on what is going on around you! Become dependent on the mighty, vast powers which stream forth from the living God. And if even more time is needed for all this to develop, stand firm and go forward in the strength of God. For then you will overcome the world.

Hello,

It's been a while since I was able to really blog.  My title is Faith instead of Fear.

We all have some sort of Fear, but what we don't know is that it is the opposite of Faith.  Sometimes its not even real Fear.  Its unrealistic!   We are to believe that God comes to break the Lie of the enemy of our soul.  The enemy would love to keep us in a state of FEAR.  That way we never make progress or go forward.  We will stay just where we are at.   When you are not opposing the realms of darkness the enemy will not bother you.  So if any of you have been sailing along and had no adversity or bothersome events ....Guess What?   The enemy has you just where he wants you.  Comfortable!!!!! 

We have to step out of that comfort zone and go forward!  We have to move out of the place we have been.   We have to start having faith in God and believeing that he will protect us.   I don't care how hard the pressure is.  Or what the enemy comes to tell you.  He is a LIAR.... He lied from the beginning of time and has kept on lying and Jesus even said it in the gospel... that Satan was the Father of Lies. 

The Good News is that we have the word of God.  In Psalm 91.....

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler  And from the perilous pestilence.  He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.  You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,   Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.   A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.   Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.  

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,   No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;  For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.  In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.  You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.  "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.   He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.   With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."

Have a God Blessed Day!
