One of the most beautiful things about God is that He is God despite what you do or don’t do. He will

finish what He started in your life. If you’re breathing

today, then He is not done with you yet. Don’t

ever feel limited by your circumstances because our

God isn’t limited by them. Throw away your timeline.

Throw away your controlling ways because incredible

things come when you let God unravel it. God alone is your refuge, your safety, and He always wants to push

you further.

This week Pastor Jeremy Johnson shares, that as Christians, sometimes we think that we only get tested during our struggles that there will be no more tests after the miracle happens. We fail to realize that the mountaintop is where we have the most to lose, and will likely have to face the greatest tests. However, you can be certain that if God is testing you, it means that you already have the answers inside of you. Our God will never set you up for failure. He has prepared you and is trying to graduate you to the next level.

 

When we are faced with fear, we have two choices we can make. We can either face the fear head on, not giving it the authority to steal our joy and peace, or we can become a victim of fear, letting it settle into our lives where it breeds doubt, anxiety, and depression. By choosing not to waste our energy on fear and by walking the path of victory, we give God room to make us His warriors. If faith is the currency of heaven, then fear is the currency of hell. Let’s not carry around the currency of hell! Don’t be discouraged during the pressing or the sifting in your life, because God is preparing something amazing! It’s in the pressing that pride is crushed out; it’s in the sifting that God filters out all that is holding us back. He will send you to places of brokenness, but only so that He can bring you to places of freedom and healing. God is not afraid to come our broken and hiding places and when He does, He wants to bring us out. Be encouraged and remember that we do not have to rely on our strength alone. He will lend us His and promises that we will strike down fear TOGETHER!
