Moving Beyond Fear ( Morning Glory- Praise Him Friday)

01/08/2016

Today on Morning Glory it was Praise Him Friday. Our message today was " Moving Beyond Fear". Our scripture today was Psalm 34:4.

I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears.

Today on Morning Glory the challenge that was presented to us was, can we move beyond fear? The decision to face fear instead of running from it is always an exercise in character building.

You and I live in a world that can be, at times, a frightening place, simply because of what see going on in it. We see a place that can be disappointing. We see and live also in a place where life's losses and pain and agony  will cause us to live and operate in fear. But, with the help of Lord Jehovah we can recover from it all.

Christ has not given you the spirit of fear  but of love and of power and of a sound mind. The presence of fear goes against  God's  original plan for our lives. During the dark days of your life you must remember that Jesus will give you peace in the midst  of every challenging moment, where fear presents itself. Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 14:27, " Take courage! It is I. Don't  be afraid ."

Face your fears right now and with the help of the Father you can move past them. This  is not the season to be timid  or procrastinate because you are uncertain about what will happen. Leave the results up to God. Scripture teaches us to cast our cares on Him because He cares for us. Charles Stanley said, " When we meditate on God and remember the promises He has given us in His Word, our faith grows, and our fears are dissolved.

This is a beginning of a new year (2016), you have plans, goals and ideas that you want to accomplish. Don't  let anything stop you from doing it, especially not fear. Move beyond fear. Our lives are better when we operate in faith instead of fear. Fear is an enemy to God. It is faith that pleases Him. Trust God to handle those problems that are simply too big for you you to solve.

Take steps to confront and conquer fear. The first step is always the acknowledgement of God. In all of your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. God wants you and I to live fearlessly. It is through the meditation and the reading of His Word that it happens.

Morning Glory ( Praise Him Friday )

12/18/2015

Today on Morning Glory it was Praise Him Friday. Our message today was " God Is Our Protector". Our scripture today was Psalms 125.

1. They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,  so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3. For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4. Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5. As for such that turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity : but peace shall be upon Israel.

This has  been awesome  week  of inspiration. This week we fasted and prayed for God's  perfect will to be done in our lives. 1 John 5 : 14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will , he heareth us. God wants  you and I to operate  in his perfect will. As a believer you and I should no longer  want to operate  solely in the permissive will of God but we should in fact want to operate the perfect will of God. Praying the will of God for your life is what God wants. Praying the will of God for your life tells  God that I am yielded to him to do whatever he wants with my life.

In our final inspiration for the week, on this Praise Him Friday, we need appreciate that God is our Protector. We need to know that because we are the righteousness of God he will protect us. If you have been on the line this week you have heard me talk about God is our Help on Monday, In His Presence on Tuesday , The Mercy of God on Wednesday. Yesterday  on Morning Glory you heard me talk about God is Removing Your Haters and Your Enemies but today once again God is our Protector.

God is our protector. Reading through  the Psalms  you will  find so many scriptures that lets us know that God is a protector. Christ has not given you I the spirit to fear but he has given you and I the spirit of love, power and a sound mind. Fear is an enemy to God. For without faith it is impossible to please him, if you and I are going to go to God we must first believe that he is God and that he is a rewarded of them that diligently seek him according to Hebrews 11:6.

Once again we read about Jerusalem, God's  country if you please. The mountains  according  to our text today symbolizes God's protection for his people. God gives us confidence  as being righteous people that the rod of the wicked will not harm us. This rod could be anything that goes against God's  perfect will and plan for your life.

In this time of your life operate  in the protection  of God.  God makes it clear to us that he will never leave us nor forsake us. God's  hand is on your life.  God's  arms are wrapped  around your life. God wants to lead you.  God wants to guide you.  In God's  leading and guiding  he protects. Ask for the protection  of God in every area of your life and watch God change and manage those things that align itself  according to his will.

The Faithfulness God

No Matter What Comes Your Way, Remember That "He Is Faithful"

Greetings! I trust that this week's devotional finds you in great spirit, health and prosperity! As our society goes through social, political and economic uncertainties, it's comforting to know that our God is faithful! 

HE IS FAITHFUL

Lamentations 3: 21-23
21. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22. It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23. They are new every morning great is his faithfulness.


"Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!" That is the familiar refrain to the hymn that you and I have sung for so many years in worship services. This anthem has been the morning hymn for the Christian Church for decades. The question we need to ask ourselves, do we understand that Christ is the only one who is truly faithful?

I grew up in a Christian home and we were taught never to forget Christ. My parents made sure, just like I'm sure yours did, to instill in us that Christ was the center of everything and that there was nothing that we could do or shouldn't do without Him. I am amazed at the fact that as I have grown to be a man, my parents and others that played a part in molding me were so right-you can't do anything without Him!

In the Book of Lamentations, the prophet Jeremiah penned a thought that should remind us all,  how faithful Christ is. While remembering all the places he had been and the things he had gone through. Jeremiah realized that his faith had gone to another level. As Christians, we need to have the same voice, the same faith and the same blessed assurance that if God did it once, He can do it again.

Jeremiah also lets us know that if it had not been for the mercy of the Lord, we would have all been consumed, destroyed and washed up. He reminds us that God's compassions or His never- ending love for us is what has sustained us. But the good news is that His mercies are new every day! Glory!

Take the time to today to think about the "what ifs" in your life. What if "that" happened in that situation or if this happened in this situation? I promise-you will have to stop and give God praise for His faithfulness.

Be sure of this: people will fail you, but God never fails, for He is faithful.

Fire Fear

II Timothy 1:7

7. For Christ has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.

As one writer puts it, you either have "faith or fear." If I operate in faith, should I fear? If I fear, am I operating in faith? I believe that sometimes we move in faith with fear. But, does that discredit our faith? The answer to that is "no." There will be times in your life where you have to move by faith but the element of fear is there. The Bible declares that "Faith without works is dead." The question I want to raise is "Can my works be without fear?" The answer to that is "yes." Now, as a believer, are you willing to fire fear?

Our scripture lesson gives the real answer to fear. Paul is writing to Brother Timothy to let him know that he appreciates seeing his acts of faith in ministry. Paul reminds Timothy of how he first saw the unfeigned faith in his grandmother Lois and secondly in his mother Eunice. He acknowledged that this was that same faith he possessed. Paul then begins to speak to Brother Timothy about stirring up the gift that is in him.

This scripture lesson is about the assignment God has given Timothy. However, there lies in it the truth, by which you and I must live. As a believer, you and I should live life with the absence of fear. Fear is the element that questions God's ability to do what it is you are asking Him to do. The writer of Hebrews states that, "We walk by faith and not by sight". If we are going to trust God for anything, we must take the element of fear out it. Put fear on a starvation diet.

There are three things that God has given us instead of fear. One, He has given us power, which replaces weakness. The second thing is love which gives us the sense of peace. The third thing is a sound mind which reassures us of what God's word says.

I understand there are things you and I face every day, things that might cause us to operate in fear. Firing fear can only happen when there is a constant diet of the Word of God being applied in our lives. If we stay in His presence and in His word, fear gets a pink slip.
