Are You Settling Your Thoughts and Undergirding Your Faith By Counteracting Fear With Faith Filled Words?

Today is a new day.  Yesterday is gone.   God saw fit to bring you into this new day with you.   Yesterday didn’t take you out.   The things you went through and the pressures you were under, did not have the power to overtake you.   God was with you yesterday and He is with you today.   He is watching over you, shielding you, protecting you, and making a way for you.    So have faith.   Walk in the wisdom of God’s Word.   Know that God is keeping you.   Know that He goes before you and know that He has your back. 

So often in life we live in a place of worry.   A place where we are worrying about what’s going to happen next.   We worry so much about what we are going through that we fail to have faith and confidence in the fact that God is with us.   We know that He said that He will never leave us nor forsake us but yet we tend to not trust what He has said because our thoughts are filled with the fear of things possibly not working out.    Our emotions get overtaken by our fear of what could possibly happen instead of our faith in what God said would happen if we put our hope and trust in Him.    

We have to begin to cast down ALL fear.    We have to refuse to walk in worry.   In other words, when thoughts that lead us into worrying come up, we have to begin to cast those thoughts down and counteract them with the Word.   When a thought comes up about you not having enough to meet the need, you need to cast the thought down and speak the word over it and say, “my God said that He knoweth the things I have need of and HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO SUPPLY MY NEEDS”.    Counteracting fear with the Word works.   It settles your thoughts and undergirds your faith and that is what God wants.   He wants us to be settled and strengthened by Him and His Word.
