Faith Over Fear

Today so many people are so much concerned about themselves, not interested at all in others living in this world.
Many are also more interested in the outer looks and in the wealth others can see. We live in a world where material wealth has become more important than spiritual wealth. the richness of the spiritual things is not seen by many. Many are blinded by materialism. But they also do not like others who might have other aspirations and aim for other things this world seems not to provide.
It is true that we might be living in a world where we can find many survivors of narcissistic abuse spread across the wasteland of the dysfunctional family landscape. The picture may look devastating with many people playing the victim and making you their scapegoat.

Lots of people shall look down on those who dare to dream and who dare to put their hopes in things unseen.
We may be the fools of the world who are passed by like we are not there. Maybe nobody would like to talk to you or the opposite would not stop trying you to get other ideas. They’ll spend their energy trying to convince the rest of your family that you are on the wrong path, even would say you might have evil in you. They would love to warn the others to be careful not to become infected by the evil you bear.
Those who have their dreams, have their believes, have their hopes and aspirations, on the things which outshine this earth, should not worry.
Those who look at nature and see the Master Hand in it, and are willing to look for the Creator of it all, may be sure they shall receive an answer of that Divine Maker.
He shall not leave them alone. They shall be able to trust Him.
So why should we wait before trusting the Most High Elohim,Creator of heaven and earth?

• A Seed from the Resurrected Christ!!! (audacityandsupposition.com)
  A seed from the resurrected Christ encapsulates all the genetics of Jesus’ spiritual maturity and victory. Had Jesus not been crucified and raised again, these seeds would not exist. But with this spiritual seed, you can become all that he is. As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.

  When your spirit acquires this life, spiritual conception occurs. Of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. The new life that is formed inside you is a spiritually begotten Son of God. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Without this life, you will remain spiritually dead. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
• Fear Not (prophecynewsandviews.wordpress.com)
  Fear is a demonic curse from the pits of hell and if you are not careful and keep your eyes on Jesus the deceptive practices of this fallen world can catch you off guard, and paralyze you with fear. In the Word of God, God says he will keep you in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon him. We must not let the news headlines disturb us so much that it instills fear. This is what some things are designed to do, to control you. Media is very guilty of rumors and some rumors are flat out lies that most of the time turn out to be untruths. Jesus called the enemy the father of lies, satan is also known as the prince of the power of the air. All kinds of things are over the TV and radio airwaves and they are lies, from the pit of hell. There are many things over the airwaves that are not good.
• Makes No Sense At All (hosea808.wordpress.com)
  Everyone fears something. I don’t believe anyone is without any fear. I also don’t believe that we should live in fear. I’ve learned and encourage others to face their fear, decreasing it or eradicating it in that particular area. I’ve also learned that a little fear is healthy as it makes you keenly aware in apprehensive situations.

  its really not about being fearless, which isn’t possible. Its about being faithful, which is totally possible. One of the definitions of faithful is “reliable, trusted, believed.” The key with fear or faith, being fearless or faithful is what will you choose to trust/believe in that crucial moment. Will you trust/believe what your fear screams at you or will you trust/believe what your faith whispers to you?

  I don’t get close enough because I’m afraid.  Closer means I’m in an even more compromised and vulnerable position if I falter.  And I don’t have enough skill to not falter.

  God chooses us.  So often though, we chose gods.  Gods that don’t save.  Idols.  People, material things, pleasure, status – just to name a few.  We chose gods in place of the one true God.  We fight outside, mad as hell when they fail to save us from the devastating blows of the Enemy.  But God chooses us despite all that.  He chooses us because he loves us.   He wants us to get inside.  He is the ark.  He is the shelter.  He is the protection, the provision, and the place where we will land our greatest punch at the prince of this world.
• Fetching Faith (hackingagag.com)
  Faith is not believing hard enough until God gives us what we want. Faith is trusting God that He is in control of all things and has our best interests in mind. Without faith, we are without hope. We have no access to the faithful promises of God, unless our faith in Christ is that of genuine stock. He alone knows all things, including the unseen circumstances that surround our situation. He will not hand us a snake when we ask for bread, but He will allow the serpents to come when they are needed. When that happens, let’s fall to our faces like Job and stand with the Apostles who begged, “Increase our faith!”
• So It Continues (anointedplace.wordpress.com)
  In the previous post, “So It Begins Here“, we looked at how our mindset can blind us from all that Jesus completes and gives us by grace through faith in His finished work.  It also looked at how we can easily look at all that God promises and doubt that just having faith can bring such love into our lives.  We all battle with the flesh in the war of faith and doubt.  And our doubt actually works itself out in many different ways.  The point of reintroducing the rich young ruler is to pull the covers off of some of these ways.  And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
• Week 16: Thursday (bolmdevotional.wordpress.com)
  Like Paul, we too have been given a great trust. What stewardship has the Lord entrusted to you?  What have you surrendered to God in order that you may give your all to Him today?
  We must change our perspective in such a way as to acknowledge Him as the Source and Keeper of all things on a daily basis and not just occasionally when we feel like it. In the same way, we don’t just surrender our lives every now and then – it takes a daily commitment!
