When The Devil Through Fear, Threatens To Destroy Us! By Nanyamka Boyer
My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and fellow reader. It is my prayer that on this brand new day, all is well with you and your loved ones, both spiritually and physically. On this day let us remember that when the enemy comes in like a flood, as the scripture says in Isaiah 59:19 "So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him." That the Lord is with us and for us, as He promises us in Romans 8:31 and when He is for us in this world, then who and what circumstance can be against us and succeed at destroying us?
As the above scripture says through our beloved King David in the picture, that the Lord is the strength of our lives, and as we know that apart from Him we can do nothing, as He tells us in John 15:5 "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." So if we are truly His saints, then we know that there's no one and no circumstance in this world, whom we should be afraid of, as He is our strength, our protector, our deliverer, our provider, our salvation and all we will ever need and apart from Him, we can do nothing to help us succeed. He also promises us in Isaiah 54:17 that "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." As we face trials and tribulations in this world in our walk with God, for as He says in His Word that it rains upon the just and upon the unjust or also that bad things come upon the just and on the unjust or the righteous and the wicked.
As Christians, when we enter into our spiritual battle with the enemy, the outcome has already been determined by the Lord, as our victory in Christ was already won for us 2,000 years ago on the Cross by our Loving Savior. And because He did that back then, He accomplished the victory for us to have, because He is the author and the finisher of our faith.
And if He began His good work in us and also through a trial, whether it is through persecution or sickness, loss of a job, or loss of a relationship with a loved one or beloved friend in Him and even through poverty or through going through the death of a loved one, He will see you through it and will give you His grace for you to make it through.
For He is a God of restoration and of reconciliation and in Him there's always hope, for He alone is the hope in this world. And if we abide in Him daily, through His Word and through prayer, for it is a relationship with Him that we must have with Him daily, then He as our Beloved Savior and Lord, will come through for us and deliver us from whatsoever it is threatening to destroy us.
So let us be strong and courageous in the Lord and know that fear has torment, as it says in His Word and when we are experiencing fear or are being fearful, we must rebuke that spirit of fear and continue to walk by faith and not by sight and to have hope in the Lord that He is with us and for us and is not against us. And that if He delivered us in the past from all of our troubles, and tribulations, saints and sinners alike, He will continue to do so in our lives, because He is a faithful, a merciful and a gracious God!
I want to remind you that sometimes the answer will be no in our lives, because the Lord knows what is best for us and these are the times, when we must seek Him to give us His amazing grace to trust in Him, to heal us spiritually, see us through life and see us through that pain in our hearts that we are going through, so we can go on.
Remember that the Lord wants us to live, to enjoy life, and not fret. I know that this is easier said than done, when we go through hell and back, as I myself go through trials and tribulations as well, but we must use those times after we have prayed and given that problem to the Lord, by recreating ourselves in a godly way, as we wait on Him to see us through. We must not stop living or it will destroy us if we continue to live in bitterness of soul.
The Lord promises us in Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." So continue to wait on Him to bring you out and He will see you through it, and He will continue, as He just said, to renew your strength, so you don't faint along the way, as you wait upon Him.
For we will always be waiting or have to wait upon the Lord to see us through something that we are going through in our lives. So let us daily remember His promises and what He also promises us in Psalm 27:14 "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."
So let us remain strong and not give up upon our God, who is our only hope, especially when we need Him the most in our lives. For He alone loves us more than anyone else ever could in this world, and as His beloved people, His saints, He promises to carry us to our hoar or gray hairs in our lives in Isaiah 46:4 "And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
This is His promise and He will see it fulfilled in your life by always providing all of your needs according to His riches in glory, whether it is a spiritual, emotional, mental, physical or financial need in your life, through His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, so be strong!
Remember He is a strong God, and will always be strong for you!! God bless you and go in peace knowing that you can do all things through Christ, who strengthens you, as it says in Philippians 4:13.
