Morning Devotional March 22, 2016

Deuteronomy 31:6

“ Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

When we are under great attack from the enemy. When the great deceiver uses those around us to trouble us and persicute us. When life looks bleek and dreary and we see no humanly way out. Our Lord tells us to “be strong and of a good courage”. To “fear not”. To not be afraid of whoever or whatever that comes against us.
Why or how can we go through this life without fear of that great deciever satan? Our Heavenly Father tells us, “For the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake.” Remember He told us He woupd neve leave us nor forsake us. We have a Comforter. The very Holy Spirit of God living within us. We have no need to fear. He did not give us the spirit of fear. No, that spirit of fear comes when we doubt our Lord it comes when we open ourselves up with spiritual weekness and lack of faith in God.
As children of God we are instructed to fight! We are to be on the attack and not always on the defense. We have the whole armor of God. We have the Sword of the Word of God to fight these battles. He has equiped His people with everything they need to fight off the attacks of the enemy and to take the fight to the enemy. We must learn to use the armour and the weapons He has given.
Study His Word. Stay in His Word and stay in constant contact(pray) with our Great Captain!!! Never leave His side. Fight the good fight! Preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season. Carry the battle to the enemy!!! In the name of Jesus Christ the battles of this life are won. Not of us. But in Him. Never surrender to the wiles of satan!!!

Praise ye the Lord!!!
