Sunday Reflection

Believers, 

​

People of God, has it ever dawned on you that your safest place isn’t where there are

no problems but in fact where you know no matter what comes up against you God is

covering you? In Psalms 91:1-4 believers receive representation of what happens when

you dwell in God’s presence and shelter. Too often many lose count of the times God

kept his hand over your lives and pulled you out of the lion's den untouched. You must

understand although it may form, it won’t work. 

 

The enemy must ask for permission in order to attempt to test us. So, no matter what circumstances you find yourself facing, continue placing your faith and confidence in God. When you surrender to a Christ and live with determination to obey his laws daily, you will be guaranteed immunity from the enemy’s attacks. Despite what you may be going through, never lose faith in the fact that you are covered by God’s grace. 

 

Fellow brothers and sisters, never forget Satan can’t stop what God has ordained for you. Allow this to be your gentle reminder to stay in intimacy with God as you walk with him. We have a duty as children of God to be fully sold out to him rather than ourselves, our desires and mostly man. Our safety and security comes from Christ and nothing else. When you feel yourself operating with a spirit of fear rather than faith, remember the enemy may roar but he cannot and will not devour you. 

 

Humbly Submitted,

Will you take the time to reset your life to Christ?

 

We’ve seen people walk around with the "faith over fear" shirts but do they really know what faith over fear means? Faith was designed so that we could understand and see souls be saved.  It encourages us to remember that we need to put our trust and full faith in the Lord and forget about our fears, for we will not have fears if we have trust in God. The slogan "faith over fear" and shirt is typically worn when challenges or obstacles are coming or that are in the way and we want other people to see what we’re going through. When we feed our fears, our faith deteriorates because without trust there’s no relationship.  However, if you don’t have a relationship, it doesn’t mean that God does not want a relationship with you, but he will not force one upon you. 

 

No matter what you do, God loves you.  Love is fundamental for our faith and scriptures tell us that God loves us. We learned from scripture that God is love and anything that isn’t love isn’t God. Fear isn’t of God, because fear wasn’t put in you by God. When you trust in God, there will be peace by embracing faith.  Through the word of God, we can allow our faith to drive out our fears. God will supply each and every one of our needs as we keep our faith in Him. We must have a relationship with God and that doesn’t mean we rely on our mother's or grandmother’s prayers.  We pray for ourselves and build a strong relationship with God each and every day. 

 

No matter what you look like or however strong your relationship may be or however weak, you may still not be in the place that God wants you in. That means that there will be a divine shifting to move you.  Anything that is in the way will be pushed out to make God the number one priority. Ask God and pray for him to help you with your fears. Focus on the strength that God will give you when you overcome the thorn that is stuck in your side. That means that the devil is playing tricks on your mind or playing tricks in your body and God wants you to ask for help. He wants you to pray to him and he will provide you strength to overcome that challenge. You need to recharge your relationship with God and keep your relationship plugged in. Just as if you would charge your phone every night or every day, you need to charge your relationship with God through prayer, fasting, and meditating on God’s word. You won’t need to recharge your relationship if it stays plugged in because the power is maintained. 

 

Be confident that you are able to do whatever God has called you to do; which means that you are willing and know that you capable and able to do what God has called you to do and to walk in the way that God has called you to walk. Connect to people who will encourage you.  If they don’t encourage you, don’t connect with them. Sometimes you have to be all alone connecting with yourself because you’re the only one who will encourage yourself. Live a life full of gratitude and be thankful in everything you do even if it’s just another step.  Each and every day be thankful and show gratitude. No matter what the circumstance may be, God will stay with us.  We have been promised that God won’t leave us nor forsake us. Ultimately, will you embrace your relationship and put your faith in God?
