Overcome

Jesus didn’t die on the cross to save our souls from hell so we would live here on earth riddled with anxiety, worries, and fears.

There comes a time when we have to decide to believe all the things he tells us about himself, to believe what he tells us about ourselves, to stand up strong and tall and pronounce, I am a child of God. Because of these truths, because of this freedom, we will fight, and we will win the battle in the war he has already won.

We don’t have to live in fear. God is in control; he has only goodness and hope for our future, and we can trust him as a good Father.

When fear rises up in you, I want you to get on your face, talk to Jesus, pour out everything in your heart, and ask the Holy Spirit (who is given to us by Jesus as our helper and comforter) to empower you to do everything that you’re called to do in this season. Amen

Worship God when the storm clouds appear on the horizon, and when the cold wind whips across your face, fight back.

Proverbs 31:25, “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”

Stay strong; stay close to Jesus. Stand tall, great woman of God; you are clothed with strength and dignity and you can laugh bravely at the days to come. That’s the secret; that’s how we live brave and unafraid.

AMEN
