Why are you so afraid? Where is your Faith? Even the Storms obey HIM. Oh Child of God if your Trust is in the Lord than you have nothing to Fear. Know you not He will never forsake you?
Fear comes against us all , yea even the spirit of fear and doubt. But they are not of God! When your overcome with fear oh Child of God remember to use your Shield and Sword , lest you doubt and speak foolishly like the apostles when they were in the ship while Jesus was sleeping. The boat was tossed to and fro , they spoke in there fear and in there doubt of what was upon them, Instead of speaking in the Faith of who was with them.
What will you do when satan comes to test your faith? Will you give into his fear? Will you take heed to the doubt?
Be not decieved oh Child of God, For Faith is not what you feel! Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. What is the Sheild of Faith? What is the Sword of the Spirit? What are they for , save that we be able to STAND?
The Shield of Faith is used when you Trust in the Words of the Lord rather than what you feel , or what you see. For satans darts then will be of none effect against you.
To build that Faith you will need to use the Sword of the Spirit. Many have confused this Sword as being a something to attack satan with. Though it may do its damage to satan , the main purpose for it is to build your Faith! So that you can stand . How is it used? David shows us by example.
The psalms of david are full of examples in which david spoke the Word of the Lord to build his strength up in perilous times. The same we who Trust in the Word of the Lord must do! For the Lord is our Salvation.
Does not God have ALL power? How is it you dispair when satan comes against you? As if God had not allowed it? Bless the Lord at all Times for His intentions are always Good towards those who Trust in Him. Yea He allows satan to come against us for our GOOD! For satan is made a blessing to us who Trust in the Lord! Praise God , when i first learned this of the Lord i laughed and laughed full of Joy for the Greatness of God.
So Child of God be not sorrowfull and doubtfull when fear comes upon you , or when trials and tribulations come! Nay but count it all joy , for God has allowed it that you might Grow in His Likeness.
So be patient when suffering comes. When you are tempted by fear , tested by doubt , and tried by suffering . For in your endurence you shall obtain Wisdom and blessings from on High! For even Christ grew from what He suffered.
So when it comes and if its already there for you , then take up the Shield of Faith and Trust not what you FEEL , but Speak the Word of the Lord over your Life as David did in his trials. Remember to be Thankfull to the Lord for His goodnes towards you , and Praise Him always even when you are in suffering , as Paul and Silous. For He is Worthy!
To those who needed to hear this , God bless and be of good courage, that feeling of fear doesnt meen that the Lord left you ! " All who come to Me i will in no wise cast out"
Your brother in Christ
