TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
God’s desire is that we continually progress, that we reach higher
heights and go to new levels in Him. Oftentimes, as soon as we make the
decision to step out in faith and obey God, the enemy brings in fear to
try to stop us. He’ll bring thoughts like, “What if you fail? What are
other people going to think? You don’t have what it takes.” He’ll do his
best to use fear to try to convince us to shrink back and stay where we are.
The Bible says that fear is a spirit. It plays on our emotions and
holds us back. But the good news is that we have power over the spirit
of fear! The Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear. When we
receive God’s perfect love, we will have confidence about the future
because we know His plans are for our good. I’ve heard it said that fear
is an acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real. Understand that fear
is a lie. Don’t buy the lie. Instead, choose to believe God’s Word and
receive His love so that you can overcome fear and move forward into the
blessings He has prepared for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for giving me power, love and a sound mind. I open my
heart to You and receive Your perfect love. Fill me with Your
confidence and assurance to embrace everything You have for me in Jesus’
name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
