We wanted to take a moment to address fear…
As believers, we want to encourage you today with the truth found in the Word of God.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
—Psalm 91:5-6 (NLT)
This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.—Psalm 91:2-3 (NLT)
Each one of us has a choice. We can listen to the media and fall prey to panic, or we can declare that the Lord is our refuge. He is our place of safety.
We want to encourage you to use the Word of God as a weapon over your health and the health of your family. Use the authority that God has given you as a son or daughter of God.
We want to encourage you that God’s healing power is still alive and present today, and the same God who raised Jesus from the dead is watching over you during this national crisis.
God is bigger than the coronavirus, any illness, anything you think of. We have the victory!
Times of hardness are inevitable. You need to know that. It's true that we've been redeemed from the curse, and there's nothing Satan can do to reverse that, but he is going to challenge you on it.
So don't be surprised when things get tough. Times will come when you have to stand strictly by faith, when you'll have to speak and act as though what God says is true even when you can't feel it or see it happening around you. There will be times when everything looks terrible. That's when you must endure hardness as a good soldier.
So many people hear the word of faith, Hey! I'm going to try that. Then when the hard times come, they give up and cave in.
Let me warn you, living by faith is not something you try. It's a lifestyle. You do it when it's hard. You do it when it's easy. You do it all the time because you're not doing it just to get in on the benefits. You're doing it because you know that faith pleases God (Hebrews 11:6).
Things may get a little rough at times, but let me assure you, you'll always come out on top if you endure hardness as a good soldier. If you refuse to faint and fall away, you will have the victory. The only defeated Christian is the one who quits!
