DO NOT FEAR!



S.E.E.D. For Today_Fear

 Scripture "For the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I am the one who helps you." Isaiah 41:13 English Standard Version

 In spite of Israel's past rebellion God was working on their behalf. The fear they experienced by the other nations around them was great, but the prophet reminds the people of God's love for them and how they ought to trust Him for their future. We are important to God and when we face opposition He will uphold us. Do you gravitate toward the path of least resistance? Do not fear God is there to help you, He will prop you up and you can face anything. Be audacious in your faith God is holding your hand, He will walk you through every dark moment in life and get you there even when you can't see. "In the movie Inside Out, Fear is an emotion who's main job is to protect the young girl Riley and keep her safe. He is constantly on the lookout for potential disasters, and spends all his time evaluating the possible, dangers, pitfalls and risk involved in Riley's everyday activities." I say to you God has not given us the spirit of fear, we all have this emotion but can subdue it's rule by faith.

Example Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat. Terror, fright,, panic agitation, dread, dismay.

Exercise Read Isaiah 41:10-13 Journal or talk to God about your fears. Remember fear is opposite of faith but they both have their purpose. Fear in the natural does keep us from crossing boundaries that we may want to cross, but in Christ that spirit has no place we are to trust God and not fear, He is our protector and the Holy Spirit's job is to direct our path. Don't let fear hinder what God is doing in your life He has you by the hand guiding you into your purpose.

Devotion Lord my prayer for today is to admit my fears. I thank You for Your love, it drives out  all fear. I pray that I walk in confidence and I will not get deflated because of fear. You hold my right hand, You are the one who helps me. I will not get discouraged, or be dismayed, You are my Hope, do Your work from the inside out in Jesus Name Amen.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you ...

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co...

"Your Time Is Coming!"

"My Destiny and it's timing is in the hand of God." Psalms 16:5 Your way of life, your fortune, your fate, your portion comes from God. Knowing God is to know that He operates in rhythm, seasons, or times. Ecclesiastes 3 breaks down very intricately the seasons, or timing of a man's life or destiny. It tells us in vs.1 that, "Everything on earth has its own time and its own season" ( CEV ) or " Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses." ( GNT ) Being in sync rhythmically with God is so vital to the believer, operating in boundaries of our destiny or fortune, is the ability to flow in purpose. God has a purpose for each of us, you will find it to be your greatest joy as you discover the privilege of understanding the intention of God for your life. There are times as believers we find it difficult to accept what God has given us. There will be times when your ideas of what you want may get in the way of you and God...
