In this world, every one of us will face things in life that we would prefer to have bypassed. Things that threatened to steal our hope, peace, and joy. However, when we learn how to keep our minds focused on what the Word of God says, our hope, peace, and joy will stay intact! In fact, these supernatural qualities will begin to flow strongly from the spirit-man within us and dominate every thought of doubt and fear that tries to get our attention. Isaiah 26:3 says, “You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.” When we are tempted to worry or fear, it’s critical for us to acknowledge the Greater One who lives within us! 1 John 4:4 says, “Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.” Just because you belong to God, and He dwells in you – you qualify to overcome! As you acknowledge this truth – your faith will become effective! (Philemon 1:6). Since our minds are focused on the right things, confusion and hopelessness will go, and clarity and hope will arrive in their place. We can trust the Holy Spirit to remind us of the exact Word to pray and declare over whatever we are facing. Since our faith is effectively flowing and abounding from our spirits – we can speak out God’s plan and expect to see every circumstance change to align with it!
