Mark 5:35-36
“While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the
synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou
the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he
saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.”
Faith or fear, which is reigning in your heart right now as
you inch closer towards the new year. It is easy to know, the same way faith
comes so also fear and they work by the same principles. These are
diametrically opposite forces, that is why where
one is present the other is
not.
Faith works this way: It comes by hearing the word of God
and it is developed through meditating and acting on the word. It is released
through the mouth – speaking. It actually begins where the will of God is
known.
The beginning point of fear is uncertainty about God’s will.
Fear will come to also by hearing, but hearing the word of satan or the world.
It grows in the heart as the lies of the devil are meditated upon and it is
released to work when you speak out your fears.
Lets us go back to our question: Faith or fear, which is
reigning in your heart? What or who have you been listening to in preparing
your heart towards the new year? If you have been listening to the news
bulletin on the television or papers you will not have faith reigning in your
heart but fear. I want to encourage you
to take God’s word and meditate on it, pray to God if you have not been doing
so and watch your confidence level shoot up.
As I have been pointing out to you
for the past three days, God’s plan is to do you good and to give you a future
and a hope. But you have a part to play in drawing it in. YOU MUST BELIEVE.
