Primary Text

“Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.” Isaiah 41v10 (AMP)

The Bible lets us know that there are many voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. We have the voice of God, the voice of the world, our own voices, the voice of the enemy e.t.c. Whose voice are you heeding and listening to? God’s voice will usually speak peace and calm to every situation. People came from Jarius’ home and said “Your daughter has died. Why bother and distress the Teacher any further?” (Mark 5v35, AMP). But Jesus’ response to him was different - “Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, only keep on believing” (Mark 5v36, AMP). We need to become experts at ignoring certain voices like Jesus did. Another thing we do to voices is to condemn them. Isaiah 54v17 (AMPC) says “But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.” Why don’t you begin to put to wrong and condemn any word that has been spoken in judgment against you? As children of God, we need to be full of the Word of God. When the enemy came and tempted Jesus, He would always respond with “It is written….” We need to know what is written to stand against the enemy, for we know that the Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.

Prayer
