What's in a title? Well you've probably heard this before, but with the situation economically and medically in this country and around the world, we better be "sober, vigilant...for our adversary (the devil) is roaming about...seeking whom he may devour". Statistics show us that although 64% of Americans are afraid of loosing their jobs, only 8.2% of them have done so. That with about 135 cases of "swine flu" reported in the United States (as of 5/1/09), it represents 1/1000% of our population, yet people are afraid. F.E.A.R.! False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear is a powerful force...just ask the Old Testement charecter, Job. Fear opens the door to the enemy just as faith opens the door to God.
But wait a minute...aren't we the "church", the eklesia, the called out...the separated ones? We are God's people whom He has always provided for! He is El Shaddai, more than enough! He has always met our need because He is Jehovah Jireh. He provides healing for our bodies, for He IS Jehovah Rapha, etc. etc. etc. My Bible says, "If God is for you, who (or what!) can be against you." Is says that although, "in this world you will have tribulation...you can BE OF GOOD CHEER because He has overcome the world"!!! "No weapon formed against you will prosper". "I will say of the Lord that He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I will put my trust...NO PLAGUE shall come near my dwelling place!"
You get the picture! Look into the Word of God...build you faith. Listen to the world, feed your fear! Which one do you want producing in your life?
Swine Flu, Recession, Unemployment.....see God in every situation. He WILL provide, He WILL see you through!
