Combat Fear, Anxiety and Discouragement

Hello Ladies!!!!....

This week, the Lord had me talk about Fear, Anxiety and Discouragement. (Phil 4:6, 2 Tim 1:7, Deut. 1:21)

All these things are not from the Lord. You may be saying, “that’s a no brainer Lori”. But my question then is why are there so many walking with one, two or even all three? And what combats it?

In scripture, our Daddy is very clear that He did not give us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love and sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7). Praise God. Well Daddy said it…do you believe Him? Do your actions line up with THAT TRUTH?

It’s almost as though I can hear some saying, “Yeah, but you don’t know my life”. That’s right, I don’t…but Daddy does and Daddy didn’t have His Word just for me…but for you as well.

One of the revelations that God had given me was paying attention to when the disciples walked in power. It was when they remembered. They remembered what Jesus did and they remembered what Jesus said.

Remembering what He did and what He said, brings the TRUTH into our circumstances instead of our circumstances becoming our truth.

What can we do when these things come upon us.

(Phil 4:4) Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS, and again I say rejoice
(Phil 4:6,7) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, WITH THANKSGIVING, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

David did not say bless me oh Lord…David said, “Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, [bless] His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, AND FORGET NOT all His benefits”.

Do you see where David said and FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS?

Remembering is a key to walking in POWER…therefore taking us back to 2 Tim 1:7 that He did not give us a spirit of fear but one of POWER helps us to FORGET NOT…BUT REMEMBER!

Until next time ladies…take the opportunity to get to know your Daddy more. He adores you and He wants to walk with you.
