TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Fear always presents itself
much bigger than it really is. It’s always the worst-case scenario. It always
tries to get you worried, anxious, uptight and panicked. Fear’s goal is to
separate you from God by trying to get you to doubt His Word. But when the spirit
of fear comes, recognize that it has no power unless you give it power. Don’t
give it power by speaking what fear speaks. Don’t give it power by meditating
on it. Instead, let the power of the Word of God rise up within you. Declare
what God says; declare that God has given you all authority in heaven and
earth. Declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
Remember, no matter how big
fear presents itself, it’s no match for the power of Almighty God. When you
yield yourself to Him, you tap into His power. Greater is He that is in you
than he that is in the world. God is bigger than your problems and bigger
than fear. Let faith rise up in your heart because faith is the victory that
overcomes the world.

The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
