The Battle Belongs to the LORD

I'm gona start posting with a little spiritual somethin, coz I want to give all Glory 'n' Honour to God.

This excerpt is from the book titled: The Battle belongs to the LORD by Joyce Meyer, from which I'll be posting many of my spiritual topics.

God wants us to be totally free from fear. He doesn't want us to live in torment, and He doesn't want fear to stop us from confidently doing what He tells us to do. When we have a deep understanding concerning God's perfect unconditional love for us, we realize He will always take care of everything that concerns us - that knowledge eventually delivers us from fear. As we have experience with God and see that He always takes care of us and provides what we need, we begin to relax.

God moves on our behalf when we focus on Him instead of on our fears. The feeling of fear or fearful thoughts is simply our enemy satan trying to distract us from God and His will for our lives. We may feel fear at various times in our lives but we can choose to trust God and if we need to, ''do it afraid.''

This ''do it afraid'' theory is something God revealed to me many years ago. I saw that when He told Joshua as recorded in the book of Joshua chapter 1 to ''fear not,'' He was actually warning him that fear would try to stop him, but instead of letting the fear control him, he was encouraged to be strong and full of courage and keep going forward.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7

There, a beautiful explanation on ''fear,'' the christian way! Joyce Meyer is certainly led by the Spirit in my opinion. That's it for today please check back tomorrow for some classy quotes!
