Colossians 3:2 (AMP) “And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.”

A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
(Psalm 121)
This morning I woke up battling fear again. I started meditating on Col. 1:13, He has translated us from the kingdom of darkness into His kingdom of light. I started meditating on being in the kingdom – how we are citizens of God’s kingdom of light. As long as I meditated on living in God’s Kingdom, the fear couldn’t stay.
Later on, the above scripture came to mind. Where are our eyes? Are they on our bank account? That brings fear. Are they on the sickness? That brings fear. Are they on the gas gauge? That brings fear.
God said that in the last days mens’ hearts will fail them from fear, looking after those things which are coming on the earth for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:26)
But we have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken. (Heb. 12:28) It is a Kingdom of Love.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. (I Jn 4:18)
We must lift our eyes up to the Lord. That is where our help comes from. I had an incurable artery disease. The doctors gave up on me after I had brain surgery for aneurysms. God pulled all the doctors away from me. He took all fear of death away from me and filled me with His peace that surpasses understanding. I spent two years sitting at Jesus’ feet with one scripture – that if God takes care of the birds in the air and the flowers in the field how much more would He take care of me. After two years, I was healed. But the greatest miracle was the peace I had as I lived in God’s Word and it became more real to me than the disease that threatened to kill not only me but my children and grandchildren.
I believe that God is saying that we need to fix our eyes upon His Kingdom and His Word. We need to look to Him for our help in the coming days.
God told Joshua to meditate on His Word day and night so that He would have success in the land He was giving Him.
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen us with power through His Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith. And I pray that we, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” (Eph. 3:14-19)
Father, I ask you in the name of Jesus to let us know Your love which will cast out all fear. Help us to keep our eyes fixed upon You and Your Word and not on this world. And as we are strengthened by the power of Your Word and Love, I ask You to help us take You to others who are living in such fear and despair to let them know that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and that there is hope in Him.

Thank you so much for your prayer for overcoming fear. I had mentioned the scripture of perfect love casting out all fear. This morning, I woke up thinking about my ‘vision’ again. I have to trust God to give me perfect vision to take my drivers’ test. All I have is His Word. I had a box of New Testaments in the living room. I decided that I would read it to see if I could hear God speak to me. It was a translation I normally don’t read. In Matt. 2, it said in three places, “So the Lord’s promise came true, just as the prophet…said it would.” It was like God was telling me that His promise would come true. This relates to my natural vision and spiritual vision also. After that, a song came to mind. It is a Christian remake of Bruce Springsteen’s song, “My Love Will Not Let You Down.” One part says, “I’ve made you a promise that I’m not about to break. ” Another part says, “As you take this walk of faith, there’s one thing you need to know. My love, love, love, love, love, love will not let you down.”
All of the circumstances make things look impossible, but today I believe God told me that what He said will happen no matter what the circumstances look like. They said that they couldn’t go into the Promised Land because of the giants. But they needed to hear what God said and believe that, not look at the giants in the land.
Please continue to pray that I will have no fear and that God will do what He has said He will do.
Thanks so much.

Today was a day of movement I believe on the front of believing for many years that the Lord would both heal me and others, and restore all that the enemy has stolen. A year ago Pastor Chavda prayed for me at a meeting, and not knowing me said “All that the enemy stole restored…next year (2011) is a year of restoration!” My brother is also trusting for healing now. And lately there has been a word of the Lord that there will be Suddenlies in Septemeber!
Sickness also affects your finances. And today I had to go and as gracefully as possible answer two hours of difficult questions from a lawyer since an Insurance Company does not want to pay for house repairs. I felt we were right…that they just hoped people would go away…and since I had initiated the claim…my husband sat quietly and supported me as they chose me to try to intimidate. There is no other word for what they try to do. By the time it is over you feel like you’ve been pistol whipped…and your emotions feel as if somehow you are the accused. But I felt the Lord was saying…’go…I am with you’. And I prayed on the way there as sickness tried to attack me…that Jesus would not only be my defence and protection and healing…but that the Lord would overturn unrigheousnesses in the land that are robbing the people of what is rightly theirs. That He would break the cords of unrighteousness in our land.
Last night when rereading the paperwork to be sure I understood everything…there was one spec of gold dust on the paper I was holding. I knew it was an encouragement from the Lord and I felt His presence.
He knew that it would be harder than I even thought it would be.
When I got home I checked for the word of the Lord…and both Pastor Ras’s and Sister Bev’s words from the Lord seemed to be to strengthen me. “Courage to stand is attractive in you.” …as well as words about being intimidated and trusting and keeping moving forward with and close to Jesus.
Thank you all for your prayers…I shared this so that you could pray for me and with me…as the effect of the day left me feeling week and I could still sense the intimidation saying…’who do you think you are?…you are wrong etc.’ I need the infection in my chest to go soon…as long term medicine has not yet completed the job. I also wanted to say how encouraging the Lord’s words daily have been…have been meant to be…to encourage what God is doing in our lives. I have no church currently…so do covet all your prayers…we are the church. It is difficult for me to be so honest about all the Lord has been doing in my life…as I have had few who understand…but am greatful for the brethren and prayer partners the Lord has given me online.
