Luke 1:47
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. – (Luke 1:47 ESV)
Fear Is Your Enemy
“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. I will not fear what can flesh do to me?” – (Psalm 56:3, 4b NKJV)
Fear is a terrible thing, for it is the opposite of faith. Fear caused Adam and Eve to sin. I believe that fear is not only a sin, but it is THE SOURCE of all sin.
The devil loves to confuse people and ensnare them in all sorts of traps. When satan discovers what our greatest fears are, he immediately uses those fears to trap our minds and prevent us from overcoming frightening situations.
When we fall into satan’s trap, we are tricked into playing his game. And whenever we play games with the devil, we are committing a sin that can lead to even more sin. Therefore, we must repent of it and ask to be delivered from it.
Today let faith be your friend and fear be your enemy. After all, the only part of you that the devil should see is the sole of your shoe.
Tread down fear in Jesus’s Name.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Today we put our trust in You. We will not be afraid of men. We will have supernatural confidence that You will put us over.
In Jesus’s Name,
Amen.

Wednesday in the Word – Marilyn shares encouragement from 2 Corinthians 7:1
On Wednesdays in the Word today, Marilyn shares encouragement from 2 Corinthians 7:1
Numbers 6:24-26
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. – (Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)
Our Wonderful Inheritance
Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! – (Psalm 16:5-6 NLT)
The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD you God and walk in His ways. Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you. –(Deuteronomy 28:9 NKJV)
God desires that your “land” be a delight, a representation of your inheritance in Him, and the pleasant territory described by David.
Your “land” includes the time and space allotted to you by God. When we are faithful to God’s commands and manage our territory well, we become a beacon to others, a testimony of God’s goodness and favor. Moses said the nations would stand in awe of God’s people because of their unique relationship with the Almighty.
God has given each of us a territory to occupy. The upkeep of our “delightful land” falls to us; it is not accidental, but a matter of assuming our rightful authority. In God’s eyes, what goes on in your territory is your responsibility.

Jehovah Rophe wants to be personal to you. He wants to heal you and make you whole! ~Marilyn Hickey
Psalm 103:2-3
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, Who forgives all your iniquity, Who heals all your diseases. – (Psalm 103:2-3 ESV)
Stand Fast on The Word
“Having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” Revelations 5:8b (NKJV)
Our prayers are very important to God. But if we really want our prayers to count, we must pray the Word. Why? Because the Word cannot return void.
Prayers of self-pity will never bring supernatural results. It’s only when we pray God’s Word that we begin to fill up the golden vials (bowls) of heaven. God keeps those prayers because He keeps His Word. Answers will come. Pity-parties are not the answer. God’s Word will bring the supernatural.
When we send out prayers to God, we must also check out hearts to see if there is spiritual “static” that will prevent our prayers from traveling up to heaven. Our messages to God can get lost or waylaid if we have some unconfessed sin. If your prayers are going unanswered, check your heart to see if you are harboring sin. If so, repent, and watch your prayer wing its way to heaven.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Today help us to see that self-pity never does anything. It is unbelief, and it is simply an occasion for the flesh to exalt itself. We trust in Your promises. We put our flesh down and stand fast on Your Word.
In Jesus’s Name,
Amen.

The power to heal is released when two or more agree in faith. ~Marilyn Hickey

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7 ESV)
His Love Endures Forever
The Hebrews call Psalm 136 the “Great Psalm of Praise.” This psalm was probably a responsive singing.
The worship leader sang the first half of each verse, and the congregation always sang response: His love endures forever.
One thing we know will last for all time — God’s love. How great is our God!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
(Psalm 136:1-3 NIV)
How do you see God’s love at work in your life?
Let’s praise Him always!

The more specifically you use your faith, the more specific the results will be. ~Marilyn Hickey
