| Over the last few months of Wednesday night services we have had amazing teachings on defeating the enemies attacks in our lives, city and in the Nations. I would like to encourage you with an essential truth from scripture along this same topic, it has to do with Trust. Nahum1:7 "The Lord is good, a Strength and Stronghold in the day of Trouble; He knows, (recognizes, has knowledge of and understands) those who take refuge and trust in Him." Trust is essential to God, for without it we put our hope in a false foundation. If we don't trust God, then we are placing our trust in something besides Him. In doing so we allow demonic strongholds in our minds to take root, which ultimately lead us in the wrong direction. Therefore 2 Cor 10:3-5 encourages and commands us to "Take every thought captive into the obedience of Christ." In doing this we break down the roots of distrust that can give place to pride. We can't handle any situation without Him. Not one!! Trust requires Humility to say so! Trusting fully in God sets us up for freedom, and the hope that no situation is outside of His redemptive power. Our lives are fueled by our thought life, thinking in a redemptive trust of God we realize nothing is impossible! Change in any situation becomes possible!!! Yay, we always win with Jesus. Now that's encouraging !!!!!!! Prayer, Lord God You are my trust, You are my Stronghold. Reveal to me the pride in my life that says I can handle things on my own. Show me where I have allowed the enemy's lies into my thoughts about other people or situations. Help me to have a tender and obedient heart towards You. You and You alone are the Lord of my life! In Jesus Name, Amen Blessings to all, Sallie and David Steinacher |
