Why #3

NO FEAR

  Why should I be fearful or afraid? Now that's a very good question in this age where anxiety disorders are as rampant as any malady known to humanity. Even though this is true, we can do something about it using our faith.  I know I have done so,  and it works for me.  Consider what God promises to His Saints who are coping with anxiety, as well as fear.

God does not give to us the spirit of fear, but God gives us power, love and a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7

      You may ask the practical question: How do I get this to work for me? Here is how you can do so: Begin by seeking to build your faith: Speak out loud this promise, while  in a private place. "God does not give to me this spirit of fear. God gives me power.  God gives me love. God gives me a sound mind." Do this several times.  Sit still and slow  your breathing. Breathe deeply as you imagine God breathing into you the breath of life that makes you become a living soul. (Genesis 2:7) Then continue as you  do some more soul talk, and speak softly and kindly to yourself:  "Be still.  I don't have to be fearful.  God does not want me to be afraid.  He tells us to 'fear not.' God does not give me this fear. I renounce this fear because God gives me power.  God gives me love.  God gives me a sound mind!"

     How long should you do this?  I think it's good to be good to yourself and give you a mini-vacation of about ten minutes, and continue doing the exercise for the full time.  I also recommend you do this two or three times per day as a form of Christian meditation.  I sincerely believe, if you practice this spiritual practice you will indeed be ...

Blessed 2day .. Especially Today

You will have the tools to have "NO FEAR."

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
