Greetings Family,
There is a tool that the devil loves to use on Christians and that tool is fear. Have you ever tried to imagine the devil having a tool box and what it would look like? Now, I’m not saying that he actually has one, but if he did I can imagine he has an assortment of tools and fear is certainly one of them. It’s a tool he uses to install disobedience.
The devil uses fear to hinder Christian growth and block blessings by causing us to doubt the voice of God. Ask God to help you discern his voice. Don’t let the devil make you afraid. You must choose to obey God. If you don’t you’ll end up in disobedience.
Sometimes God puts a good thought, plan or deed in your spirit, and before you can follow through on it, thoughts of fear attack your mind. What will people think? What if it doesn’t work? What if someone gets angry? Will they talk about me? And so it goes on and on. You can’t allow the devil’s tool of fear to cause you to disobey God. Remember, the devil activates fear, but God activates faith! "God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" 2 Timothy 1:7
When God inspires you to do something good and you feel fear, ask for strength to override that fear. OBEY GOD! If God has given you a testimony, TELL IT! It may be the key to someone’s deliverance. If God puts a good deed in your spirit, DO IT! You may be the supplier of someone’s need. If God has placed ministry in your heart, PERFORM IT! It will be a blessing to people. If God has given you talent, USE IT! God gave it to you as part of your assignment here on earth.
If you feel that God is leading you to do something, consult him first. "In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:6 He will guide you. After obeying God, you’ll feel peace within. When you feel that peace, don’t let anybody make you feel bad about your decision.
When it comes to obeying God, don’t be overtaken by fear. Be determined to stomp on the devil’s toolbox. Demolish that tool called fear and obey God. The devil and his tools, belong under your feet. By the power of God and the blood of Jesus YOU CAN OVERCOME FEAR AND OBEY GOD!
