Move From Fear To Faith
The most magnificent act of God is that Jesus Christ came and died on Passover to be the blood over the doorposts of our heart so that we can have a relationship with Christ and trust Him as our Savior. When we do this, God sends His Holy Spirit to live in us. He lives inside of us so that, everywhere we go, we can speak about the magnificent acts of God in our life. We can testify that we have been forgiven through the blood of Christ, and the Holy Spirit lives in us. We must ask the Lord to fill us up every day as we walk and declare His magnificent acts in the language of the heart of those who will listen.
What language does your heart need to hear right now? The world is going through some difficult times. Many people are losing their jobs, their health, and their families. Some people feel really lonely. We might be going through some challenging times. Do you need to hear that fear must become faith? Are your fears so big that you are turning to the wrong things to calm your fears, like waiting for scientists to find the cure for a certain disease, so that you can have some peace of mind? Or, waiting for the government to do something about all the jobs that are being lost so that you can feel safe that you are not going to lose yours? If we are depending on the wrong things, waiting for the next scientific discovery or for the next thing the government is going to do, we are missing the point. It is Jesus who relieves our fears. God has our life in His hands. We need to move from fear to faith.
We need to give God complete control over our fears, weariness, stress, and anxiety. Isaiah 41:10 says, “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand.” God is speaking to us in the language of our hearts when we are paralyzed by fear and weariness.
I want to encourage you today to take your fears and anxieties to the Lord in prayer, and trust in Him.

About this Plan
On Reunion Weekend, we celebrate Pentecost and the birth of the Church. As the disciples trusted and waited for the promise of the Father, we too need to trust in God’s timing and His plan. Lean in to Him, let Him speak directly to your heart, and then go out into the world to share his magnificent acts with others.
