Written Article – Fear or Faith – By Rebecca Jancey
Hi, My name is Rebecca Jancey and I was inspired to do a written Article.
Last night I watched a film called Left Behind this opened my eyes to what is to come. God wants every man saved and to come to a knowledge of truth 1 Timothy 2;4-6 but only a few are going to learn and be humble to his voice. Many are called by few are chosen; Matthew 22;14 I understand that with the way the world is it may be hard for someone to believe because of so much hurt and pain. God doesn’t cause this he is a God of love and Faithfulness; His ways are much higher than our ways Isaiah 55;8. There is every potential for evil there’s every potential for good right? So why do people make a choice to not believe? Satan the god of this world blinds the minds of those don’t believe 2 Corinthians 4;4 He deceives people into thinking wrong thoughts that God isn’t true and if they do have a slight belief, they don’t believe that God is willing able or Good.
God doesn’t want anyone left behind, he doesn’t want the people who don’t understand to go to hell. But everyone has a choice to make. During the 7 years of tribulation, people have a choice to make but beware the anti-Christ will try to deceive the world into thinking he is God. Do not be fooled like you have been in your life again, make the right choice now. If you believe Romans 10;9-10 and say it with your mouth you are saved and God’s spirit is inside of you and you can do the same works as Jesus has done and greater John14;12.
Learning to trust God is a journey, us as believers can also be deceived sometimes but the more you lock in the more you get to understand the ways and tricks the devil uses. So, a major tactic satan uses is fear. Â Fear is the direct opposite of faith.
Gods say in 2 Timothy 1:7 for God has not given you a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Fear may try to afflict us, but we can use our words we can speak from our mouths and say what god says. We can use the tools God has given us; speaking in tongues is one of the greatest manifestation of the spirit, it strengthens our spirit, and magnifies God, also it sharpens our awareness of the spiritual realm, and makes it easier to operate in being directly connected to God. It builds us up.
Daily Confessions which is speaking God’s words from our mouths really build us up. And you come into enlightenment and harmony with God. You are agreeing with and speaking His words rather than the world’s words of fears, worries and doubts.
Step by step you will learn your authority that you have in Christ and fear will vanishes it is no longer part of you.
We want to be light in people’s dark situations as there is always light in every situation even if it does not look like it now. God can make a way when there seems way. Even in death, you can be raised from the dead. Jesus was and many believers in India and Nepal are doing the same works as Jesus did. They cast spirits out and move in the spirit of God. You can do the same also, everything is about faith and words.
Where your faith is, that is where your life is, where your words are, and your mind, and your thoughts are, negative or positive, Â you choose.
Proverbs 18:21 God says Death or life you choose. And what he means by this you can live with a dying spirit. You can choose to live with dead words, words that consistently bring you and others down, you can choose to have a dark or light vision of life and circumstances. Nothing is ever good enough. Your words match your thoughts, and your life, and God has given us all free will choice, but he lovingly encourages us to choose Life and our words have consequences. God has made it easy for us as stated above all you need to do is believe in Romans 10;9 and 10 and SAY with your mouth and believe in your heart and you are saved. What you say is so important.
It’s just like the rice experiment if you label it with positive or negative words it will respond to those words. The rice with positive words will ferment nicely and the one with negative words
will turn black and the rice ignored will turn moldy or rot. Words are more powerful than we can imagine, don’t block your blessing by agreeing with the circumstances, by agreeing with what you can physically see. Have faith in God that he can and will do the impossible. So simple yet so missed. See God doesn’t make things complicated, your own thoughts of the lack of faith in the power of words and the simplicity of what God says to do, will cause you to because in a state of confusion and doubt. Why not try an experiment for yourself and try not to speak negatively for 12 hours then try 24 hours . This will change your life. See God gives us things to build us up and lift us up and encourage our days. He wants you to live in freedom and Joy. Are your words and thoughts matching what God says? Are you really thinking about what you’re thinking about and putting God first in your thoughts, decisions, and responses or are you letting the world and the people who lack faith have more dominance in your thinking and in the way you’re responding?
Don’t back down, be steadfast in faithfulness to speak of faith rather than reality in someone else’s mind. Your faith may not be where they are does that make God less or unable no it shows that their mind or thoughts aren’t on the path of God they may lack faith because they feel they have been let down by God which is not the right thoughts process God never lets us down, give people grace when you have spiritual awareness you will understand the ways that satan deceives the world into thinking WE are wrong, we are delusional, that can’t be true it’s impossible, impossible with us yes we are nothing without God without the holy spirit within. We can’t do anything but the power of God within us can do Everything! If you’re in need then call on God. Seek knock and the door will be opened to you Matthew 7;7-8.
When we pray to the father, when we put our lives into his hands, when we have faith, he will move every mountain. There may be obstacles in our way, there may be people in our way there may be a feeling of fear or lack in our way, but God is a God who can ensure you overcome all these obstacles. He teaches you through everything, He shows you things that we wouldn’t ever see or know in our Carnel mind. He shows you things and opens doors for you that you would have never known. Whether that’s how to manage your emotions, your finances, your health, how to ensure you don’t live in fear, or how to respond to a situation is endless.
A Fear-based mindset results in;
Anxiety and fear that narrows our focus, restrict our learning, it make us respond negatively, and makes us worry and doubt, and become in flight or fight mode. It can paralyze you into taking opportunities, and negative self-talk which can result in poor decision-making, sleep problems, neglecting yourself and others.
What does God say about this? Here we see in
Proverbs 12.25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
Philippians 4;6-7 Don’t not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, present your requests to god.
These are just two of the scriptures that God says, God wants us to take all our cares and worries to him, trust that he is in control helping us in our every need.
When it appears that your mind is in a state of fear you can’t focus on the task that is set before you. Your mind can go foggy, and your thoughts are disoriented. Fear is false evidence appearing real in your mind it may feel real. Your body can even have physical symptoms as it really does feel real at that moment. Take a step back and pray about whatever is making you feel this way. Manage your thoughts and also remember your paradigms, the way you were brought up can have a huge effect on the way you think and manage your mind. You can retrain your mind how to think – how can you do this?
First of all you need to recognize what may of brought this negative fearful thought, why am I feeling this way? when you are able to navigate the whys then you are half way there. You can see if you were brought up in a worrisome house that can then become part of you until you find gods way until you see that this can all be changed by repetition of what god says live time today and in his scriptures. We have been taught how to use Gods words so powerfully, we say what we want and not what you see. But that untrue it’s not become yet ? No we speak faith, faith filled words that God then go to work on. Which brings me to my next part Faith.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen; Hebrews 11;1 so words can either bring light or darkness into your life. When we say what we want and not what we see we are speaking faith it may not be in reality, now but its Gods reality, we are Believers, and we should believe in what Gods. Gods said Let there be light and there was light Genesis 1;3 he spoke words of faith into existence. He spoke and it became.
Now we have the spirit of God which is called Christ in us the hope of glory living within us. God says we can do the same works as Jesus done and greater. John 14;12 we can speak things into existence. We can powerfully use our imagination and the Mind of Christ to Move any situation. We can see through his eyes and speak his words through our mouths, and it will move mountains. What may look impossible in the world’s reality will become possible with you through your faith and confession. What are you saying about your life, your children, your finances, your health. What are you speaking about yourself? how do you think? God wants us fully persuaded that he is able and willing.
What stops you? Do the old ways of thinking the normal ways of the worlds have a dominate effect over you? Or are you letting God and his ways his light enter into your heart and make you become new.
God says in Roman 12:2 And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is good, and acceptable and perfect will of God. This shows us that we can truly transform our thinking, into the goodness of God. Change your thinking, change your life. One step day by day with a full heart commitment to God that we can change the way we think speak and act.
God has all the answers, you do not need to look for any other solution rather than God himself. He will teach you and guide you through every step. He will give you paths to take where no man can take you and open doors no man can shut.
Revelation 3-8 what are you trusting in? as a born-again believer there has been many challenges along the way. But God has proved himself at every given moment, he shows himself faithful even when we ourselves may not be faithful. He takes you step by step, he will teach you exactly what you need, are you willing to put down your old ways of thinking and start to really live by faith? Not letting any man or woman to stop you in your tracks? Are you willing to really put yourself into all that God shows you to do. It may not be easy at times but when you come out of the season you are in, God gives you light and clarification. And He shows himself again faithful.
All he requires of you is Faith! To hear and to do. God has the perfect life mapped out for you. Don’t block your blessings by doing it your way. Summit to God and the devil will flee from you James 4;7
