Conquering the Enemy Worry and Fear

Fear. Is so alive in our world today it's like you can't wake up live and breathe without fear being some where around. The news does not help with fear what happens in life and in our world does not help us with fear because it seems to be all around us. This is why a SAVIOR is needed this is why we NEED JESUS more than we realize. GOD can be our safe haven a place of safety and refuge although he consistently tell us in his word not to fear cause HE is with us we still fear. I know I do I have my fears that still grip me to this day sometimes I can't say I am free from fear wish I could but I can't it's still a continuous process. We are also told to trust GOD but do we really trust GOD. I know I don't because honestly and truly if I trusted GOD as I should I would not be as fearful as I am anxiety would be the least of my worries and I would be more at peace than I am at this given day and age. One thing I am learning is where my focus is. When we take our eyes off GOD that's when things go all wrong. We get distracted and we start looking at our circumstance's instead of GOD. We then try to fix things instead of allowing GOD to help us with it or take care of it for us. It's hard for us to just let go and let GOD we seem to struggle with that a lot. When really GOD is the one to trust he knows it all he knows when,how, who if, and when, HE knows ALL things because he is GOD yet we do not trust Him as we should strange but true.

I think some of us feel helpless unless we worry almost like it's wrong to not worry when really it is okay to not worry. Worry solves nothing it makes matters worse it can even make you sick cause you to loose weight even gain weight its just very unhealthy for us to worry. Relaxing for some of us is such a Huge task it's almost like we feel we can not accomplish relaxation because we may not be use to it or we might even be afraid to relax. Afraid we might miss something or something might not get done we so NEED JESUS in our lives to help us maintain a sense of peace and contentment in such a fearful worry some world. In my journey with GOD I am learning that where there is no fear the devil can not dwell he stems off fear panic worry and anxiety he dwells in those things because he knows he can use to to distract us off the promises of GOD. If we change our focus off GOD and what he has called up to do the KINGDOM of GOD can not grow as it should souls won't be saved as it should and the devil knows this so he tries to use tactics such as fear, worry, anxiety, and things as such to get us off track with GOD. Although children of GOD can NOT be possessed by the devil and his demons we can be OPPRESSED NOT Possessed but Oppressed and the oppression we can RESIST we do not have to accept that crap not for one second we can REBUKE the devil in the name of JESUS and he will FLEE. But we have to be willing to do that be willing to fight the devil and RESIST him put him in his place. Life is hard but with GOD we can get through it. I don't think I know a soul that don't have issues with worrying at some point and time in their life it happens often too much. Conquering worry can't be done without JESUS we can not do this on our own we can't fight this fight on our own we need back up and that back up is JESUS off course.

I also find that for worry fear is crippling it can cause you to not want to do anything which the devil knows this is why he dwells in fear. It can have you not doing anything but being fearful of all these WHAT IF'S I hate those what if's I can go on and on but I must say I am thankful for Jesus and his mercy grace refuge and the bible. The Word of GOD is very powerful this happen, things change when we apply the word of GOD. I know for me I find that sometimes I just wanna lay cuddled up with my bible call me crazy but there is POWER in the Word of GOD. Having my bible by my bed side is comforting to me so if I ever need a word or promise from GOD all I have to do is reach for it. When we think about it the devil is really a coward he has to always come with something he has to use something in order or affect us in anyway he can't come empty handed he hides behind things, people, worry, fear, anxiety, panic all those things we dread he uses even hides behind. Worry can be defeated but it's a constant renewal of our mind and thought process we do have to be mindful of what we let in our ear gates and eye gates it's crucial and it really is that deep. Some do not want to believe it's that deep but it really is. Fear can creep through the things we let in what we invite or entertain. GOD knows why he tells us to have BOUNDARIES. It really is for our own benefit he cares that much about us. As someone that struggles with worry myself sometimes I want to encourage you to keep seeking after God stay close to JESUS like never before seek his face, seek to learn his ways stay build up and GUARDED in the word of GOD so when battle comes you are ready and prepared. Feed your mind GODS word DAILY be reading his word a devotion prayer something. Don't neglect your mind or leave it open to any and everything. Your mind is Precious and is to be taken very seriously bind your mind to the mind of CHRIST daily. Dwell in praise and worship drown the enemy in his own misery by feeding you mind soul GODS word. In due time I trust that we will overcome worry it won't be as big as an issue if an issue at all. Cut back on News if you have to replace reading your bible or watch the church channel if you have it or listen to an audio book or sermon vs the news it will make a huge difference. Nourish your mind GUARD your mind. Be Blessed and Encouraged living loving and seeking GOD always.
