In Faith, Prophectic Point to Ponder

Fear is a spirit that we choose to allow into our minds, hearts and lives or not. (2 Timothy 1:7)

It is a fiery arrow from the enemy which can be quenched with the shield of faith and the power of God. (Ephesians 6:16,10)

We are called to stand firm in our faith and resist the devil and we have the promise that he will flee. (Ephesians 6:14-18, James 4:6-8)

We are called to walk by faith and not by sight and to rejoice always, to pray without ceasing and in everything the give thanks…for this is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19)

I would rather die praising God and be in His will, than live and let fear consume me and be out of His will. (Psalms 100)

Therefore, Praise Him people, PRAISE HIM!!

Sometimes this verse is misquoted as, “Faith comes from the word of God/Christ.” However, that is not what it says. It says, “…faith comes from hearing.”

This is a jump we should not make. What we need to understand is that to many people, the word of God, the Bible, is at best an historical document and nothing more. They read it. They find knowledge. But they do not hear God speaking to them through it. Consider the following verses:
