Be Strong And Courageous, You Got This!

“Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” The Lord wouldn’t command us to be strong and courageous if we weren’t able or didn’t have the wherewithal to do so. His command is based on us understanding the power we have within us. Being strong in the Lord and in the power of His might is our portion as christians (Ephesians 6:10). We can overcome fear by walking in a greater dimension of the love of God planted in us at the new birth. Perfect love or mature love drives out fear (1John 4:18). We are in the army of the Lord which is indicative of being soldiers, battles are always coming. Learning how to fight is vital for not only our survival, but to advance the Kingdom of God on planet earth. Our enemy the devil searches throughout all the earth to seek who he can devour. He knows those who are prepared for battle and those who are not. But we have a champion to follow who already gave the devil a Holy beat down in hell. Learn how our Champion Jesus fought the devil and follow His lead (Matthew 4:1-11). Knowing for yourself He lives in you gives confidence we can be strong and very courageous.
