"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow." James 1:17 WEB

God did not give us fear because He only gives us good gifts. So, if He didn't give it who did? God gives us power over fear, love to know He has our back and self-control to know when to put forth that power. YEEEAAAHHH!!!

"Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 WEB

There is something in the bible for every situation. Another scripture says people perish from lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).

Things people go through are a direct result of what they have been saying or doing, or not. In Mark 4, Jesus talks about how seeds planted, spring up and grow but one doesn't know how. Hmmm!!! This can be good or bad.

People say I don't have a problem with celebrating halloween or watching Witches of South Jablitz. Ya think? Well, not immediately. The problems come afterward. A seed is planted in the spirit. It is then continuously watered, takes root and grows. Like a weed it eventually chokes out the pretty flowers (problems with your children, in your body, in your relationship, on your job, etc.).

Yes, I just got all up in your business. :P Hey, not me, I'm just a carrier bringing mail. :)

It is no fun receiving reproof (disapproval) or correction from God, or worse, an attack from the devil. It is better to learn the teaching and obey the instruction.

Be thoroughly equipped to handle whatever comes. If you have planted bad seeds, pull them up by asking God's forgiveness. Then make a change, plant good seeds and water them.

In other words, come correct and be complete. That's what the above scripture says. lol

I hate to hear people say "You are so lucky". Luck means by chance. It isn't as though God drops things on people simply because of their existence. If so, what need is there for dedication, loyalty, prayer, faith?

People work for what they have. They work at marriage. They work tasks set before them. They work the Word of God in order to receive His promise. They work their faith.

It isn't luck at all. It's blessed.

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 WEB

This is why I don't believe God will send something bad in order to get our attention. For instance, sickness, disease or accident. He can get our attention any way He wishes. I mean like just saying, "Hey, pay attention". After all, He's God right?

Now, I believe God will step back and remove the hedge of protection and allow Satan to bring bad things. Usually that happens with a person's permission. That's why I can't stress enough to watch what you say.

Just think before you speak. What if what you've said happened right now? For instance, your head or back kills you. This is extreme but so is the devil. Think about that person you love to death or to pieces? Hmmm!!! The mouth can either open or shut doors(good and bad).

God's thoughts for us are of peace, hope and a good future. Think on those things.

The word fear in this instance means respect and reverence. For this reason we are not to reverence anyone else or refer to them as Reverend.  "He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name." Psalm 111:9 #word

"[ A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. ] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water." Psalm 63:1 WEB

* The human body is more than 60 percent water. Blood is 92 percent water, the brain and muscles are 75 percent water, and bones are about 22 percent water. * A human can survive for a month or more without eating food, but only a week or so without drinking water. ( waterinfo.org)

Just as the body requires water to survive, our spirit requires God to survive. If you are having a hard time surviving, you could be God-thirsty. You need God and God needs you.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead," 1 Peter 1:3 WEB

Allow me to let you in on a secret. People often say some illness runs in the family. Well, if God is your Father you have been born again and He has no sickness or disease. Satan is shrewd. As long as he can get you to say a thing out of your mouth, he can make it happen. The power he has is the power you give him.

Speak what God says by calling things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17). If you are sick, no you don't say "I'm not sick". That's a lie because you are calling something that is as though it isn't. You are to call what is not as though it were. What is not? The manifestation of your healing. So say, "Thank you God your word says I am healed so by faith I believe I am healed".

By the way, pray for crop failure on all of those negative seeds you've been planting over the years. Although you can't see it, those seeds are growing in the spirit. Each time you water them (by saying it again and again) they grow until it actually happens. You have to pull them up in the spirit. #cropfailure

"The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe."  Proverbs 29:25 WEB

The butterfly has no fear of falling even while hanging upside down. Trusting in God, it doesn't hesitate to move freely within its natural environment.

If you are a Christian your natural environment is God's word. You must have the same assurance as the butterfly that God will keep you from falling if you trust in Him and not be afraid.

Also...

Please please please watch what you say. Your mouth is more of a snare than fearing man. Really think of the meaning of what you say. Fearing man is only a "snare" but the power of the tongue can bring death and life (see below).

Trusting in God can't work for you if your mouth works against you. It takes work but try changing your conversation. Let the power of your tongue bring blessings so God can keep you safe.
