Joel Osteen Devotional 12 November 2019 – Bigger Than Fear
TOPIC:Â Bigger Than Fear
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. – 1 John 5:4, NASB
TODAY’S WORD
Fear always presents itself as much bigger than it really is. It’s always the worst-case scenario. It always tries to get you worried, anxious, uptight and panicked. Fear’s goal is to separate you from God by trying to get you to doubt His Word. But when the spirit of fear comes, recognize that it has no power unless you give it power.
Don’t give it power by speaking what fear speaks. Don’t give it power by meditating on it. Instead, let the power of the Word of God rise up within you.
Joel Osteen Devotional 12 November 2019 – Bigger Than Fear
Declare what God says; declare that God has given you all authority in heaven and earth. Declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Remember that no matter how big fear presents itself, it’s no match for the power of Almighty God.
When you yield yourself to Him, you tap into His power. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. God is bigger than your problems and bigger than fear. Let faith rise up in your heart because faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for Your perfect love which drives out all fear. I choose to meditate on Your Word which feeds my faith and empowers me to overcome. I bless You and praise You today for Your goodness and grace in my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
