Feeling Scared

In this new era of conflict, seeing war of wars not just whispers of wars, disease, from politics to government to the work force and our homes. There is one question: what is truly scaring you?

How to ascertain what is a conflict within yourself, what is of devil, and what is of God?

Do you recall the saying you reap what you so? If so then it holds merit and true. If you continue down the same course over and over again knowing without a doubt it is a path you are not meant to be on. Then, what occurs is from within and the choices you make that create what is going on now.

Galatians 6:7-8 King James Version

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

This is not to say you are not battling Satan who reigns on earth.

2 Corinthians 4:4 King James Version

4 In whom the god (Satan) of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

At the same time you are freely given the free will to choose and the choices you make do place a empact on your life and relationships with others and your job, work, and school.

Or that you are in conflict with God as you are going against His will for you and the plans He has for you. Sometimes you may think God is doing to you when in fact God is bringing you through it.

Having a free will does not mean that we can do whatever we want without suffering the consequences, because even though we have a free will, we are still responsible for the choices that we make. We can choose to sow whatever we want, but we cannot choose what we will reap.

We can realign ourselves back into the Will of God by simply getting on our knees and praying for forgiveness and help with whatever is preventing you from being in alignment with God.

Below I am sharing Priscilla Shirer’s YouTube video God Is Aligning Your Footsteps.

Perhaps you have fallen away from church or simply found church is no longer meeting your needs. Maybe you need to find a church that will help you to grow and surround you with those that can pray for you and help guide you. While on your knees ask God to show you a church to go to so you have fellowship with others. Fellowship not only with a God but with like minded people is so important.

Studying His Word Daily is essential part of our lives. How can we make it through without Him? We are so desperate for Him, needing guidance, reassurance, strength, and love and so much more.

I recommend journaling when studying God’s Word. Journaling helps us reflect on what we’re reading – not simply to understand what we’ve read but to engage with the text. Biblical journaling is basically an open, honest conversation with God. We can wrestle with our doubts and fears, seek God’s counsel, and uncover attitudes and action that need to change. There’s no right or wrong way to journal as it’s personal to you.

It’s on the songs we sing about in church. Oh, I need thee every hour I need thee. Have thine own way Lord. Amazing grace how sweet the sound. Oh victory in Jesus. Be still my soul. Standing on the promises of God. These songs and so many more speak our praise and worship to God. Our hearts sing with rejoice and Thanksgiving. There are times our hearts are crying and breaking because we know it is our sin that put Him on the cross. It is in the air we breathe that we are to worship, sing praises, give thanks for all He has done for us. We are not worth nor could we ever be worthy of such Amazing Love and He offers it freely to us.

Below I want to share this song with you called Isn’t It Amazing by Mark Lowry

I simply love that song and it’s truth embedded into every lyric.

Be aware of what is happening around you and around the world and God’s Word telling of the times and what is to come. How to deal with situations in your life and how to overcome them.

Don’t forget the author of confusion, chaos and causing that fear and being scared is of Satan. He loves to see suffering in any form. Loves to see you doubt God and His Word. Take your fear and what scares you and bring them to the Father for He alone can help you overcome them. The voice that says your worthless, or you don’t matter and so forth is Satan’s using those words against you causing that doubt and fear. Satan uses your weakness against you to cloud your judgment to think rationally. Remember you are God’s child and to turn to Him. He can use that weakness and make it become your biggest strength. What once made you weak can now make you strong with God’s help.

Don’t let being scared or afraid become a road block and paralyze you in life and moving forward. Don’t let it shelter and lock you within the confines of your home and within yourself.

Remember the Bible verse about the mustard seed. Take that which is holding you back and move it and take control using your Faith in God to remove it from becoming a strong hold in your life.

Matthew 17:20 King James Version

20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Ask and ye shall receive without asking you won’t receive. So, come kneel before God ask Him for what you need and it shall be done. Now don’t think it will be removed as I said before God may take it and use it to give you strength so it may not be removed but become that which makes you stronger. You may be telling your story to someone else and because of what you have been through they learn to do as you have done to overcome for themselves as well.

God bless you and your loved ones.
