Overcoming dread

There is a lot to dread out there.

Rising gas prices.

Falling home prices.

Unsteadiness in the middle east.

Crime.  Sickness.  Debt.  Loss of job.

The list goes on and on, doesn't it.

While it is natural to have a sense of uneasiness and anxiety about these things, the Enemy, the Devil, will pile on to what is bringing us down and cause dread in our lives.

He will come at us aggressively and violently. 

Because dread is aggressive, we must use the power available to us as Christian, aggressive Christianity against an aggressive devil.

The word tells us in 1 John 4:4, "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."

I absolutely love that verse.

It is so true - but - we must put that verse into action.  We must draw on that verse.

We must not depend upon our feelings our our flesh, our carnal nature, and we must aggressively come against those evil thoughts and fill our mind with godly thoughts!

So.....today...don't run away from those anxious thoughts (dread), don't deny them or pretend they don't exist, but accept the reality of their presence and turn around and confront them in the name of Jesus and with your God-given anointing!

Hallelujah!
