EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

In Psalms 46:1-3 (niv), “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.”

Fear is not of God, for if you fear, you are not fully trusting in the Lord and what He can do through you. If He tells us not to fear the most catastrophic events and assures you that He will be in the midst of those occurrences, imagine what He can do for you.

God is with you as you endure the struggles of daily living.

God expects us to get from one point to the next by believing that He can release His power through us. He gives help through the Holy Spirit you so that you can overcome the murmurings from the evil one.

The evil one is like a fly that keeps annoying and pestering you. He won’t stop. How much power does that fly have? None! None whatsoever… With one swat of your hand, that fly can be gone forever.

It is the same with the adversary. He has no power against the spirit of the Lord that lives in you.

Please embrace and harness the almighty power and authority from God to dismiss the annoyance of the devil and to find the peace of God. Stand on God’s holy ground and choose to live a life that is fearless and pleasing to Him.

God’s love and grace are available to you daily in order for you to live a holy life. Cling to what He offers and you will be blessed for your obedience. It becomes a fragrance that is a lingering sweetness that illuminates His presence and keeps Him close.
