New Levels-Joel Osteen
|
| TODAY’S SCRIPTURE |
| “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” |
| (2 Timothy 1:7, NLT) |
|
| TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria |
|
God’s desire is that we continually
progress, that we reach higher heights and go to new levels.
Oftentimes, as soon as we make the decision to step out in faith and
obey God, the enemy brings in fear to try to stop us. He’ll bring
thoughts like, “What if you fail? What are other people going to think?
You don’t have what it takes.” He’ll do his best to use fear to try to
convince us to shrink back and stay where we are.
The Bible says that fear is a spirit. It plays on our
emotions and holds us back. But the good news is that we have power over
fear! The Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear. When we
receive God’s perfect love, we will have confidence about the future
because we know His plans are for our good. I’ve heard it said that fear
is an acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real. Understand that fear
is a lie. Today, choose to believe God’s Word and receive His love so
that you can overcome fear and move forward into the good life He has
prepared for you!
