Fear Not!

6a00d8341bfadb53ef00e54f5ccd028834-640wiby Hazel Straub

How many times you have focused on the problem confronting you and let fear rule? This happened to the Prophet Elisha’s servant. The king of Syria had sent a huge army with the latest weaponry and many chariots. The servant went outside and saw the city he was in, surrounded by hostile troops, horses and chariots. He went to his master frightened of the enemy. Elisha told him not to fear and prayed for the servant’s spiritual eyes to open. The servant then saw horses and chariots of fire all over the mountain. Long story short, with God on their side, victory against the Syrians was won without any fighting by the men. (Read 2 Kings 6:8-23 for the story)

Today, do not trust in what you have in the natural or in your own understanding, to win your battle. Trust and rely on the Lord. You are not alone in your trial or struggles. Rest in his presence and see with spiritual vision how God and his angels fight and wins the battle for you. He protects, provides and delivers you from every trial. Fear not for I AM with you, says the Lord.

“Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For our army is bigger than theirs!” (2 Kings 6:16 TLB)

Worshipping God

by Hazel Straub

imagesGod—you’re my God!
I can’t get enough of you!
I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God,
traveling across dry and weary deserts.

So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open,
drinking in your strength and glory.
In your generous love I am really living at last!
My lips brim praises like fountains.
I bless you every time I take a breath;
My arms wave like banners of praise to you.  (Psalm 63:1-4 MSG)

Access To Daddy God Granted!

psdby Hazel Straub

God gives me identification for top security clearance. When you go through an airport, you have to go through security before being able to board the airplane. However, everyone is not subject to the same security standards. Some undergo close scrutiny and body searches, while others with the proper credentials and badge go through without a search.

As believers, washed in the blood of Jesus, God opens doors to us to walk through based on the precious blood of Jesus that speaks for us. It gives us top security clearance. No waiting in long lines for search and clearance. Access granted.!

We are children of God and get to call him Daddy God. What a privilege to spend time enjoying his presence, securely wrapped in his arms. What a joy, accepted because of Jesus and his sacrifice for me. Top security clearance, as a child of God!

And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. (Romans 8:17a NLT)

Don’t Quit

iuby Hazel Straub

If you don’t quit you win. Some resign prematurely, thinking that God won’t use them. Then they fail to press into God. Persistance and getting up and continuing despite falling, is key.

Lord, teach me what I need to know during this season of testing. Help me have new vision, as you transform me into the image of Christ. God, you are all I need.

Rest!

imagesby Hazel Straub

The Lord gives you rest. No need to work, strive and lose sleep because he takes care of all your needs. When you are at rest, healing, rejuvenation, and new strength come effortlessly. Resting results in peace with the ability to take the unexpected without stress.

Rest! Life is easier with rest, as you depend on God not yourself. It brings peace.

Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!
He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most. (Psalm 23:1-3 TLB)

Problems Bring Promise And Provision

iurby Hazel Straub

Faith is believing for something that you can’t see. Learn to see things from the perspective of heaven not earth because we are citizens of heaven, living on earth. Christ lives inside of believers and with him all things are possible. There is no negativity or frustration in heaven. With faith you can see with the eyes of Jesus.

The size of the problem is the size of the promise and provision. Your circumstances give you an opportunity to think like Jesus. We are called to become more like him. He has conquered everything and sits with you, high above all the powers of darkness. Every challenge and obstacle are merely there to elevate and upgrade you. The problem is not our circumstances but how we think and look at it. Don’t ask the question, why me? This is a victim question.

If you don’t think like Jesus, you will think with fear, doubt and unbelief. Instead, ask Jesus what he wants for you. Know he never leaves you and is good. He wants you to depend on him, not your circumstances. He grants you favor, goodness, power and turns everything for your good. Believe it!

Daddy God, you are in charge and you reign. There are somethings in front of me that I haven’t broken through. Let me see with your eyes and have a higher walk with Holy Spirit, with an elevation upgrade, in my thinking. Captivate my heart  with your love, so I can live fulfilled in you.  Thank you for making me more like your son, Jesus.

Fear Not

iuby Hazel Straub

Fear is false evidence appearing real. The antidote for fear is the love of God. He is with you and will not leave you. He goes with you through the challenges and trials of life. When you go through the water he is with you and you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not burn for he is with you.

Trust God and not the false evidence that would paralyze you, keeping you bound. Fear flees when you rest in God. Spend time enjoying his love and know you are secure.

Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. See, all your angry enemies lie confused and shattered. Anyone opposing you will die. You will look for them in vain—they will all be gone.  I am holding you by your right hand—I, the Lord your God—and I say to you, Don’t be afraid; I am here to help you. (Isaiah 41:10-13 TLB)

My Prayer For You

iuby Hazel Straub

Today I am praying for you:

Be assured that from the first day we heard of you, we haven’t stopped praying for you, asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to his will, and so acquire a thorough understanding of the ways in which God works. We pray that you’ll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work. We pray that you’ll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul—not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us. (Colossians 1:9-12 MSG)

Prayer: God Investigate My Life

iuby Hazel Straub

Investigate my life, O God,
find out everything about me;
Cross-examine and test me,
get a clear picture of what I’m about;
See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong—
then guide me on the road to eternal life. (Psalm 139:23-24 MSG)
