2013 part 2

Things have changed on this earth and this is now the “NEW NORMAL”.   Homeland security, employment, housing, the financial market, weather, illnesses, general public safety, crime, social security, and other areas of human life are included in this new normal.   I’ve had many changes in my personal life over the years and I understand about applying the new normal to it. We must adjust ourselves to any new normal for our peace of mind.   Whenever I’ve made this adjustment… I felt a calmness in my mind as my brain readjusted itself to find that balance in my life.   Paul address’ it this way…I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. Philippians 4:11

This is a new season.  It’s a season that can produce much fear in people.  Satan has and always will try to scare us silly and he is surely trying to do this now…but things have shifted to a new level.

When my kids were young…I taught them that there is always a way out of a situation….and to look for it.  I taught them to keep a cool head, think and look for the open door.  I told them how to keep away from trouble.  I prayed that they would be safe.  They are adults now and I thank God for that…but what I want to say to you today is that God is a much better parent than me and He taught us things that will help us too.

I feel that 2013 will have many challenges….but….doors will open….windows will open….paths will be illuminated…croaked places will be made straight.  Look for these.  The righteous will receive help….grace will be amazing.  Guardian angels will be busy keeping us safe.  God’s mercy will shine on His children. 

What will happen in your personal life?  What does the future hold?  Will you suffer… your family?  Will you lose your job?  Will you lose your house?  You know the answer to this….That only God knows the details…and we know that out of 365 days this year that there is bound to be a few complications.  God will be right there so don’t worry!

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Mathew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

 

Today the big thing I feel the Lord wants me to share is……FEAR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!!!!!!  REAL POWER!!!!!!!  We just celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ…He came not just to give us eternal life… but in doing so He enabled the Holy Spirit to indwell in us for comfort, guidance, instruction and correction.   We can also pray in His name and receive answers to our prayers when we need help.  How awesome is that!

Why should we be scared about what the future (2013) holds?  Why should we live in constant fear of stuff happening?  Fear will make you mentally sick!!  Fear will cause damage to you physical body!  Fear will cause you to doubt in God’s great abilities to take care of you!  Fear will decrease your faith!

Will you do something for me that I feel to tell you right now?…..Take your Holy Bible and put it close to you heart and hug it really tight….now close your eyes….and pray this prayer with me…….

Lord…please give me the strength, willpower and discipline to commit to read and study my bible…your word more this year. Help me understand your word by the power of the Holy Spirit. Help me to remember your word as I meditate on it.  I know I need to do this if I’m to survive this new normal and find help in the midst of any troubles that might come my way.  I thank you in advance for the victories and I thank you for your grace.  You’ve done so much for me in the past and I know you will be there in 2013.  I ask this in Jesus name amen.

Message for today:  FEAR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Psalms 27: The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?
