Do not fear, but have FAITH...!

II Chronicles 20:3, 15, 17 NKJV

And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord , and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord , who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord  is with you.”

Shalom! Day #140. Do you know that the first thing to do when fear strikes you is to run to God in prayer? Let's pray. Father, we know when we run to You, You are there always to carry us by Your arms and be soothe by Your protection and Your joy and Your peace. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

You know, fear always cripples us from embarking and embracing the plans and purposes of God. Because of fear we limit ourselves. But Jehoshaphat he knew what to do. When fear strikes him, he set his heart and himself to seek the Lord. This is the first thing he did. Fear is the opposite of FAITH. Fear shouldn't be a factor in our lives. Faith should be a factor! Jehoshaphat knows that if he run to God when fear strikes, God is able to delivers him. Fear is a weapon the enemy has, to strike and crippled many believers from stepping in the plans and purposes of God. Even when we encounter problems, difficult situations, fear is activated to motivate us to fear, but if we, in the midst of problem and difficult situation seek God first, then you will see the salvation plan of God to save and rescue you from that problem or bad situation. You have a destiny and a destination to reach. Step in now! Let not fear crippled you! Let faith arise. Let faith Grow!

You know when you seek the counsel of God when fear strikes in via problems, difficult situation, people are trying to harm you or whatever it may be, God will intervene and fight the battle for you and deliver you and that's why God says YOU ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR because you have the most powerful weapon which is the power of prayer and worship! Seek the Lord and He will speak to you. He will tell you what He is doing now and what He is going to do for you, in your life therefore prepare yourself and get ready to move when God speaks to you.

Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord , who is with you, O ______ (put your name in the blank)!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord  is with you. Amen! Again, let not fear crippled you from stepping into your destiny to reach your destination...!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
