Posted in DIVINE PROTECTION, DO NOT WORRY

Don’t be Afraid

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

On September 19th, 2013 we heard and watched how innocent people were killed both in Kenya and in Pakistan. It happened in Nigeria, US, UK, and other places in the past.  If we are not careful, we will end up living in fear instead of Faith. Let us not forget that it is a sign that the Lord’s coming is closer now than ever.

What does God promise?

He will cover you with his feather. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armour and protection. Don’t be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. (Psalm 91:4-7, NLT)

God has ordered his angels to protect you wherever you go. He is watching over you. The scripture says he never sleeps nor slumbers. In other words, his eyes are on you 24/7. Don’t let your heart be troubled when you hear or see these things happening because you are different. You are not alone. God is on your side. God has built a hedge of protection around you, your family, and everything you have.

Be encouraged that God is watching over you. Know that though people are dying around you, these evil will not touch you. His angels are protecting you everywhere you go. And 1 John 5:18 says Jesus holds you securely and evil one cannot touch you.

For the angel of the LORD is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him. (Psalms 34:7, NLT)

SET FREE

You are truly free
You are truly free

So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. John 8:36 NLT

Some of us are trapped in situations or habits they can’t control. They have been doing all they could to stop but their efforts seem not to be enough. Some have come to accept the lie that that is how God created them to be. The truth is everything about God is perfect. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. However, let us not forget that Satan’s number one Job is to steal. He is a liar and wants us to believe his lies. For this reason, some of us are held captives, or are slaves, in their own world. They justify the wrongs they do with the scriptures. Some steal, fornicate, gossip, lie, covet, masturbate, backbite, watch pornography, etc.

My question for the day is;

ARE YOU TRULY FREE?

Are you free from sin? Are you free from guilt? Are you truly free from all forms of addictions?

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up”.

We must get rid of every weight, and the sin that so easily beset us.

A person isn’t trapped because of Satan’s power, but he/she is trapped for his/her lack of knowledge in the Word of God. The Word of God says you can do all things through Christ, who gives you strength. In other words, you can stop or strip off every weight that slows you down, especially sin that so easily trips you up.

Friend, don’t be chained, handcuffed, imprisoned, and trapped in any sin or negative behavior because Jesus has set you free.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4 KJV)
