I have good news everybody! Are you ready? Are you sure? Ok..Ok...I'll stop stalling. :O)
The good news that I have to share is that God rewards those who have FAITH!
I just read Hebrews Chapter 11, the whole chapter. I got so encouraged, that I wanted to shout it from the mountain tops. We MUST have faith for the things that we want changed in our life. We set our path in life ya'll. Just believe that we do, and then have faith that God will bring what we are believing for to pass. I am not trying to sound too churchy, but it is what it is. I GET IT.
Fear has been attacking us HEAVILY these past few days. By US , I mean the blog family. We must equip ourselves to be ready to fight these thoughts. Whenever we feel fear trying to talk to us, remember this nugget: We cannot fight thoughts with thoughts. We must fight thoughts with WORDS! (Pastor Creflo Dollar). In other words, find a scripture, any scripture that speaks against that situation or that which you fear. And when you feel yourself getting scared, just recite that scripture over and over until that fear goes away. after a while, you'll see how automatic it becomes. Then find a second scripture. And so on and so on.
Do not give in to fear (I am talking to myself right now).
Romans 10:17 (King James Version)
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Read your Bible to get strength to fight your fears (Corey B interpretation).
Here is a resource that I've been using, biblegateway.com.
You can type in a subject and get all of the scriptures pertaining to that subject. The Amplified versions are the easiest to read, the language is translated into modern terms.
TODAY'S MEDITATION
Today I actually meditated on my fears. It paralyzed me. Literally. I was acting like I didn't know what to do, how to fight my thoughts, it made me angry. I had a frown on my face almost the entire day. Then I got an email from someone expressing their biggest fear, and how it was paralyzing them, How they couldn't eat, or sleep. How they worried and toiled over what they were afraid of. Then IT kicked in. Read HEBREWS 11. So for the rest of my night and tomorrow, I will be meditating on overcoming certain fears and how God repeatedly shows and proves. THANK YOU FOR MY EMAIL!
CHALLENGES/DISTRACTIONS
Fear was a huge challenge for me as I stated. I am equipping my spirit and mind with the proper weapons to fight my fear - Reading/ Listening to the WORD!

Oh my goodness....Were you in my mind yesterday? It wasn't a good day. Fear was rearing its ugly face at me all day. Some days like Thursday, I felt I was holding on to the last inche of faith I had, but I did't let go... So I give thanks to God for sending you this message for me. I have come to far to give up this time. If we have faith the size of mustard seed, we shall press on. Well I will press on.
ReplyDeleteThe pieces are coming together Corey, you were on the journey of Faith weeks ago and now we know why. God works in his time not ours.
Love ya'll

It is easy to get discouraged when everybody around you seems to be getting their prayers answered and you’re still waiting. However, you must remember the saying, “good things come to those who wait”! You won’t always understand why God does things the way He does. He states in Isaiah 55:8, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts”. So, you should stop trying to figure God out and just learn to trust Him and His timing. “Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay”. Be Blessed!!!
Isaiah 55:8, Habakkuk 2:3
