| When flooding rivers cover golf courses, block roadways and cause chaos... |
To put God in that place is putting His word there, is speaking it by faith, placing it before the unseen enemy and declare it daily.
We are told in Ephesians 6 and verse 16 this: "above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Now of course we know the wicked one to be satan himself! 1 John 5:4 for whatever is born of God overcomes the world---our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Romans 10:17 reminds us :"so then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
We must know the word of God! Psalm 119:113 I hate the double-minded, but I love Your law. Now that hate is referring to the one who has a divided heart or divided mind. And we know those "folks" to be unstable in all their ways. James 1:8....he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
A river out of its banks is unstable, and it will run its way or course that is when the bank is weakened by much rain and it overflows, it will wash away any surrounding ground around the weakened area. In the said region a tremendous rainfall will overwhelm any rivers or creeks with more water and they will in turn begin to move with a force as the volume is increased to move into areas like the golf course in picture above and into neighborhoods.
So too, when something occurs in a person's life and they do not have knowledge of the word of God, they will begin to be overwhelmed by the continuing false reports even though the x-ray or any other tests might prove that "something exists " in a certain part of body, knowing God's truth, we should be speaking to that "ugly " thing that we deny its right to exist in the body we call our own.
We must continue to read and have knowledge of the Holy One!
We should also learn as much as we can of what the report might be about, but we also must know Jesus took all that to the Cross. WE must speak truth about the said report given in the light of Jesus Christ.
You and I cannot live by our emotions. Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. 24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you.
We are to keep our heart and value what we put it from the word of God. We should protect our heart from hearing of false reports, those things that are counter to God's thoughts and ways. How we communicate, give attention to and yes even our behavior has it start in our hearts.
If we meditate long hours of "soap" opera lifestyles, then your life or mine could certainly look like a soap opera before us. We are to put away anything that is perverse from us and keep working toward seeing that transformed life Jesus came to give us in and through salvation.
Jesus told us this in Mark 7:20-21 "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man 21 for from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders...
No, our shield should be up! Each of us will experience trials, those times of anguish or even sorrow. And when we visit say the book of Psalms, we find those who have their fill of tribulations and sorrows. Still the walk of faith is adhering to God. We should come to Him about that which might bring about "the fear factor", or that which we have unbelief in, yet God proves His faithfulness time and again. Speak out to Him with cries of your heart, but also bring forth those promises He has given to us in His word the Bible. Cry out, but also understand HIM when you are troubled!
Emotions we carry are not based on His truths. Think about the good He has brought to you and yours. Meditate on Him and talk of His good deeds with other's. Choose life in Him and expect Him to bring you through the "trial, the ugly tribulation" and remember God has a plan for you and He planned a good plan. When the rain begins to fall, may you not be overwhelmed. May you rejoice and know your shield is in place when you have chosen to follow Him all the days of your life. Earnestly seek today to have an undivided heart, fear the Lord and carry a heart of praise.
Father,
I pray, in Jesus’ name for all who have read this and faith in YOU to redeem soul’s today from negative emotions. You have
said in YOUR Word that You redeem our souls when we put our trust in You
according to Psalm 34:22. May each person never be controlled by depression,
anger, anxiety, jealousy, hopelessness, fear, or suicide. Specifically, I pray about anger and
depression. Deliver them today from this and all other controlling emotions.
(Psalm 40:17).
It is
only You WHO can deliver and heal, but use me today as Your instrument of
restoration. Enable the hearers of this word to understand and embrace words to speak and
bring life. Liberate them to cry when the
need is there to do that thing! May they have the the gift of laughter and
ability to find humor in even serious situations. May they sincerely take their
eyes off of their circumstances and trust in You, regardless of how they may be
feeling at this moment of time!
Thank YOU Lord for patience to
possess their soul and the ability to take charge of it (Luke 21:19) . Anoint them with the “oil of
joy” (Isaiah 61:3), refresh them with Your Spirit, and set them free from negative emotions this day. Amen and Amen!
