i am reading a book by Joyce Meyer, to me personally she is one of the best Bible teachers that i have heard. she speaks biblical truths and speaks them with conviction and great passion. the book that i am reading is a short book that is 73 pages long but it is filled with so much wonderful information about combating dread and fear. the book is entitled, "Don't Dread" i would like to copy from her book powerful words from pages 64 and 65.
when you get up in the morning, begin the day with an attitude of faith. set your mind for victory. an attitude of dread says, "i cannot enjoy my life while doing some of the things i need to do today. i really wish i didn't have to do them." an attitude of faith says:
when Christ died on the cross, I died with Him. i am legally and positionally dead to evil desires including fear and dread. fear does not come from God. i don't have to live under fear, so i consider myself dead to those things. i am dead to living in fear. fear and dread will not come and have a relationship with me today because i have the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead living inside me to fight them. i am not going to accept what the devil is trying to put on me. i will not regret the past and dread the future, i will not fear. i put my trust and confidence in God and joyfully expect good to happen today, because Jesus came that i might have and enjoy life in abundance. in Jesus' name.
God worked and worked with me to keep me living in the now. i made a decision not to lose today any more. i'm going to live and enjoy today and enjoy my entire life. what about you?
