How To Get Rid of Fear

A New Habit

The Lord takes care of his people like a shepherd. He gathers the people like lambs in his arms. He carries them close to him. He gently leads the mothers of the lambs.
—Isaiah 40:11 (ICB)

Everyone has habits—some are good and some are not so good. Starting today, I want you to learn a new habit. Try saying, “I trust You, Jesus,” no matter what is happening around you. Choose to remember that I am in control of the universe, and that I love you with a love that is higher than any mountain and deeper than any ocean.

By saying, “I trust You, Jesus,” you are saying that you know I am in control of all things and that nothing can defeat Me. It is then that fear loses its grip on you. So when you are facing tough times, trust Me to guide you through them and use them to grow your faith. Trusting Me is a habit you won’t ever want to break.

Love,
Jesus

My Daily Read #003

Get to know more of Jesus.
Stay close to Him.
Because You are His beloved.




“Today’s Scripture
… to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
EPHESIANS 1:6
Nancy, who lives in Texas, discovered my ministry via television and began to have a personal revelation of God’s goodness and how righteous she was through Christ’s finished work. Writing to me about how God’s grace has not just impacted her life but the lives of her entire family, she shared:
When I first saw you on television five years ago, I was rather skeptical. However, something about you was different. I knew in”
“my spirit that you were teaching the true gospel. So I began watching your sermons every day, sometimes twice a day. The more I watched, the more I saw the wisdom of God on you, and the more I wanted to have a relationship with God and Jesus.
At that time, I was at a low point in my life and I was about to give up on my marriage. I was even questioning my faith and God. I didn’t realize how much I’d kept God in a box and only involved Him in certain areas of my life because I thought He was judging me.
When I finally heard the truth about the gospel, I ran with it! Never will I look back because you have taught me the true freedom that Jesus died to give me. Praise God! Once the veil was removed, I realized how righteous I really am,”

“and God just started blessing my socks off!
My marriage has turned around and is now growing stronger. We’re going on the twelfth year in our marriage, and I thank God for the four beautiful and healthy daughters He has blessed me with. God has also promoted my husband in his career and given him a salary increase. In addition, God has recently upgraded us to an amazing neighborhood and even opened the doors to a charter school for two of my girls. He has given us so much favor because at least five hundred people are on the waiting list for this school!
And that’s not all. About a year ago, when I was watching you teach in Israel, I told the Lord quietly in my heart, “Lord, I want to go to Israel. I don’t know how I ever will, but I want it.” I never”

“thought about the trip again until early April this year when God dropped a free trip to Israel into my lap and opened every door for me to go!
My heavenly Father has shown me that I am His daughter and that He is willing to take care of every need for the rest of my life! I did nothing to deserve it! My light is shining, and everybody wants to know what it’s all about.
Today, when you look into the mirror, what do you see? Do you see yourself trapped in all your failings, mistakes, and sins? Or do you see what God sees?
My dear friend, when God sees you today, He sees Jesus. Use your eyes of faith and believe that as Jesus is, so are you. In God’s eyes, you are accepted, you are righteous, you are favored, you are blessed, and you are healed. You are freed from all sin, all pangs of guilt, all forms of condemnation, and from every”

“bondage of addiction! See yourself as God sees you and begin to experience His freedom and victory in every area of life.”

“Today’s Thought
In God’s eyes, I am righteous, I am favored, I am blessed, and I am healed.”

Let Go and Let God

This is so for me.
You see, I have exhausted my bank account just to push my dream business.

A financially literate friend keep advicing me that before I invest on anything,
I must have 3 months backup cash plan in case of emergency and all.

Yes. He could be right.

That applies to people who doesn't want to risk. And maybe for people who really don't know who God is.

I am not saying, you should follow me or invest in anyway you like because you know God. There is a deeper relationship here involve.

For me, this was a tough decision to make.
Tough in the sense that I was partly listening to my friend's advice.

And partly, I'm hearing a small voice that I should do it.

I got scared at times and so many "what ifs" popped out of my head.

It's normal yeah. I am just human.

But I prayed. I sit down with Abba and talked to Him about it.

He knows my plan.

So, one day, with so much peace in my heart because He gave or sent me a confirmation message that I should not be afraid through awesome devotionals here and there.
I felt He was really talking to me and confirming my plans.

So the next day, I just found myself in an ATM machine and withdrawed the needed amount and boom !

My dream business is about to happen soon!

(Will share more of it once it kicks off)

My revelation on this?

Are you always living in fear or afraid of doing something because you might fail?

I did. I was. For many years!

And at that fear has not gotten me anywhere at all!

Now, that I have established a stronger relationship with God, effortless I became fearless!

Is that what other inspirational gurus tell you.
Do not be scared. Be fearless! But they never tell who is with you.

Yes. If you know and believe in your heart that God is on your side....then BE FEARLESS!

Because God will never ever leave you !
If you make Him as your partner,
man you are so secured!

God is an abundant God. And when He tells you to not be afraid and that He will take care of ....just believe it.






Let Go And See God’s Supply Flow

There is a story of a young man who struggled to make ends meet. One day, he got six pieces of white cardboard paper and wrote down these six letters: “L-E-T G-O-D.” This was to remind him to stop worrying and striving to provide for himself and his family, and to let God take over. He placed the cards upright on his dressing table so that he would be reminded each day to let God provide for him.

Well, days passed and nothing changed. He was still in lack and became even more worried, anxious and frustrated. One day, out of desperation, he prayed, “God, please, I really want to know how to ‘let You.’ I want You to take over and supply all my needs, but I don’t know how to! God, please answer me.” The window in his room was open. A wind blew in—whoosh!—and one of the cards fell off the table. It was the last card with the letter “D.” The man looked up and saw the remaining cards spell the words, “LET GO.”

My friend, the way you LET GOD provide for you is to LET GO! Let go and stop worrying about the problem. Cast it into the hands of Almighty God who cares for you and leave it there, and you will begin to see His grace and provision flow freely in your life!

Eternal Glory (Jesus Calling)

What I learned in this world is that,
problems big or small will come to hunt you down.
It's a never-ending opponent.
It is just waiting for you to give up.

Well, those stuff are the works of the devil. So, better do not fall from it.

I, too am facing problems everyday of my life.

But I decided, everytime it comes near me, to use it as a "bread" as a weapon to come BOLDLY to our Abba, Father who is always willing to lift us up and protect us.

Don't get shaken by whatever you are facing now. Personal, family, financial, marital, health or relationship issues. If you just give it all to God , and trust Him for what He is in your life... You will arise above it all as a VICTOR!

Blessed Sunday everyone!
Enjoy today's awesome devotional from Jesus Calling (Sarah Young)





We have small troubles for a while now, but they are helping us gain an eternal glory. That glory is much greater than the troubles.
—2 Corinthians 4:17 (ICB)

When you have a problem that goes on and on, with no end in sight, see it as a wonderful opportunity. An ongoing problem is like having a tutor who is always by your side. If you are willing, you can learn so much from your trouble.

Ask Me to open your eyes and your heart to all that I am doing through this problem. I may be teaching you patience or persistence. Perhaps I am strengthening your faith or your courage.

Then thank Me for the lessons you are learning. When you can be thankful for a problem, it loses its power to drag you down. In fact, your thankful attitude lifts you up into heavenly places with Me, where you see the situation from My point of view. This lets you see your problem as a small, temporary trouble that is helping you gain an eternal Glory—blessings that will never end!

Love,
Jesus
