Courage

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13. Let the word of the Lord dwell richly in your heart that you may go forward in his plans. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid neither be dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9. The Lord did not ask us, but commanded us to be strong and of a good courage. We can only do this by standing on the word of the Lord. It is our shield of faith that we have the courage to overcome any obstacles and to move in his might and power. He favors us because of the blood of Jesus. This gives us the courage we need in a world heading to destruction. He did not leave us alone. We have a comforter and a helper, which we need desperately. Please let us all hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. How can we not walk in courage when God is with us and live within us? If God be for us, who can be against us? (See full verse Romans 8:31.) There is no lack in God, there is no one that can defeat God, and there is no end to God and his goodness. We have victory in the Lord in every battle. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. Psalm 31:24. Be encouraged and put down fear in Jesus name amen!
