Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."Joshua 1:9
One week into the New Year…What have you been praying? Seems that as I am prayed this week, there was such a feeling of fear and anxiousness…I prayed for peace. I said, “Lord take the feeling of fear away or relieve of my adversary and/or worry.
I heard that Spirit say, “Get into the Word. Meditate on it. Speak it out loud. Read it. Listen to it.” I read this in a devotional - Surround yourself with the purity of God's Word and soon the murky fear of the enemy will be washed away and only the truth will remain.
Joshua was afraid when, after Moses died, he was handed the leadership over the Israelites. But God told him to be strong and of good courage. Then the Lord instructed him on how to achieve these character traits: "Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." Joshua 1:7, 8
If I take God at His Word; If I am Strong; If I am Courageous; If I stant still; and If I do according to the Word…I will have a Prosperous Way and Good Success.
Immediately the feelings of fear, worry and anxiousness shall be removed. Amen
