How do I not panic or give in to my fears? Let’s face it, times are rough. Jesus tells us in John 16:33, (NKJV), “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” How do I calm my mind and emotions during tribulations, difficult times?
We read Jesus’ response to the disciples concerning the latter days from the Book of Matthew 24:6-8, (TPT), “You will hear of wars and revolutions on every side, with more rumors of wars to come. Don’t panic or give in to your fears, for the breaking apart of the world’s systems is destined to happen. But it won’t yet be the end; it will still be unfolding. “Nations will go to war against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. And there will be terrible earthquakes, horrible epidemics, and famines in place after place. This is how the birth pains of the new age will begin!”
Jesus was prophetically revealing that these horrific events would take place, but at the same time He says, “Don’t panic or give in to your fears.” His words about how we should or should not respond to such terrifying events are bold, and full of faith. And a question many are asking themselves concerning all of this is, “How do I not panic or give in to my fears?” And it is a real-life response to critical times. And God’s answers to how we can stay calm and bold are found in His Word.
God has a spiritual tranquilizer, it’s His peace. And He instructs us how to ingest His peace in the midst of all this chaos in Philippians 4:8 (NKJV), “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
He is not telling us to be ignorant about what’s going on around us, but to choose what we dwell on. And this portion of Scripture helps us to make healthy thought choices. We are also taught to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, (see Hebrews 12:2). While in the middle of the trail, make a quality choice that no matter what Jesus is our focus. And pray in faith (see Heb. 11:6), believing (trusting) that God knows what you have need of (Matt. 6:8), and trust that the Lord is and will be faithful to you, (1Thess. 5:23).
So, how do I not panic, and give in to my fears?
Let’s pray.
Father God,
I have read in your Word how things would be concerning these latter days, but reading about them, and living through them have my mind in a tizzy. I ask for Your help Holy Spirit that in the midst of such chaos to make healthy thought choices, to fix my eyes on Jesus, a gentle reminder to pray in faith, believe Your promises to care for my needs and the needs of my family, and to trust in Your faithfulness to me. In Your precious name, I pray, amen.
“Build a Wall of Protection Over Yourself with Your Words”. Wow, what a title! The world is on fire, filled with the negative powers of satan being released by the ungodly use of words against one another. But as followers of Jesus, we do not need to settle for this.
According to the Scriptures, your tongue is full and overflowing with supernatural power. And this power is unleashed every time you open your mouth to speak. Spend a few moments and contemplate the following.
Spoken words are very important; in essence, they dictate the direction of your life. So, choose them wisely. They can be a positive or negative influence, cause others to feel good or bad, happy or sad, they encourage or discourage, promote peace or hostility, they build up or tear down, heal or hurt, they create or destroy, they can also build a wall of protection around yourself, family, and situation you face.
So, let’s build a wall of protection over yourself with your words and begin to speak these declarations of faith from God’s Word. “No weapon formed against me, my family, and the situations I face shall prosper, no evil will come near my dwelling, and every lying tongue set on fire against me shall be silenced, exposed, and brought to shame in Jesus’ name, amen.
The Word of the Lord to you this day, July 23, 2024.
I, the Lord Jesus would say to you this day, “Be strong and courageous, be not afraid, or dismayed for I the Lord God am with you. But I say to you to be on the alert for your enemy, that serpent of old will try to steal from the people of this nation once again. He is deceptive and conniving, but I gave to you the mind of Christ, and you have the written Word. Take it, hide it deep within your heart, ponder upon it, speak it out, and act upon My Word. For My Word gives life to the hearer. And you will need to be life-givers, for the people of this nation, including My people who are called by My name are wearing down. But I say to you, “Arise with the power of My might. For I will lead you and guide you through this time of turmoil. And if you will fight the good fight of faith, not give in to the deception of the devil, but stand for truth, justice will prevail.”
I have not called My people to fail, but to rule and to reign over the darkness of this earth. Within each of you, My people is My light. Take and shine My light to the darkest corners of this earth, and throughout this nation. For truly there is a great force of darkness flooding this earth, but even still, take heart, do not be discouraged or dismayed, for I the Lord, your God am with you wherever you go. And hold steadfast to My promise, “Greater, am I in you, that he, satan who is in this world.” For I have not called you to fight this battle within your own strength, but with the power of My might. Thus, sayeth the Lord, your God to you this day.
On July 13th, 2024, in Butler, PA the world witnessed the prayer of faith in action before our eyes. Many of us watched on our TVs how a bullet was launched at President, Donald J. Trump’s head but instead of entering his skull, hit his ear. Immediately, my son and I broke out into prayer I, along with many others that have been declaring over him, “No weapon formed against President Donald J. Trump will prosper, no evil will come near his temple, and every lying tongue set on fire against him will be silenced, exposed and brought to shame in Jesus’ name.” And like so many others we clung tightly with our faith in Jesus for a miracle. And as you know, this prayer of faith rose that man back to his feet, with his clinched fist in the air, and full of determination to, “Fight, fight, fight!” This was indeed the prayer of faith in action before our eyes.
The iconic photos of the bullet whizzing in the air directed at his head, and the photo of him on the ground on his knees with blood running down his face, and then the victorious picture with his fist in the air, declaring war on evil is a breath-taking miracle.
Simply put, our words have extreme power. Proverbs 18:21 (AMP) teaches us, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.” Isaiah 55:11, (AMP) says, “So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire. And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.” And according to James 5:15 (AMP), “The prayer of faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” The prayer of faith is so very powerful, and all the prayers of faith that were spoken over Donald J. Trump saved his life that day.
According to these three verses, our words have the power of life and death, God’s words will not return void, in other words, they will produce the desired results, and they will save, raise up, and even forgive the sins of the sick, or the one in need. So, continue to pray the prayer of faith, not only for Donald J. Trump, but also over yourself and your family in Jesus’ name. For indeed, we witnessed the prayer of faith in action before our eyes, and it produced for the glory of God.
You feel frustrated because you believe in the healing power of the Lord, but your healing has not manifested yet. What’s going on? Where are you missing it? According to the Scriptures, your tongue is full and overflowing with supernatural power. And this power is unleashed every time you open your mouth to speak. In essence, your words dictate the direction of your life. They heal or hurt, create or destroy, but they always produce life or death. Learn to choose and use your words wisely and speak miracles over yourself.

The Word of the Lord would say to you.
Do you sense the transition of the Spirit?
Do you hear Him wooing you without the fear of it?
Great change is on the horizon.
It’s time for the Church to step up to the occasion.
Increase in boldness,
Release with love,
The power of the Spirit from up above.
Upon bended knees,
Lift up holy hands,
Pray in the Spirit.
Can you hear it?
Can you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit?
Will you take a moment to listen in?
Do you hear the praise of the Heavenlies?
Do you feel the roar of the Lion?
He declares, “It is time.”
My brethren, “Are you ready?”
One last call is going forth.
What is your reply to the Father?
Are you going out about His business?
Or have you faltered in His will in this?
The time is ever so short,
The reports are coming in,
The records are being written and tallied.
Where do you fit in?
The end is near,
You do not need to fear.
The choice is yours,
What will you hear?
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
Or will you hear, “Depart from Me, I do not know you.”?
He gives you the choice.
What is your decision?
Will you side with division against Him?
Or will you align yourself with “The Great I Am”?
Part of this transition taking place,
Is the departure from God’s grace.
And the refusal to look upon His face.
To negate the place,
Where the plan first took place,
To redeem the human race.
This is the case that will be held against you,
If you erase the trace of His grace.
A major step in preparing yourself in these latter days is to identify where you are spiritually. Read through this message and carefully examine your heart and locate where you are spiritually.
In Genesis 3 Adam and Eve sin against God and run and hide behind the bush. The Lord comes down to the garden to fellowship with them, but they are not where they should be. God asks Adam a very important question. He calls out, “Adam, where are you?”
The Lord knows all things. He is not asking Adam for his physical location, but for him to identify where he is spiritually. As the time of Christ’s return draws near, the Spirit of God is asking the same question, “Where are you spiritually?”
It’s time to look to His Word and take spiritual inventory. This self-examination can be found in Revelation 2-4, in the letters to the 7 churches.
1. The first question addresses the church in Ephesus and the condition of their spiritual hearts. God recognizes their deeds, their labor, their perseverance, their intolerance for evil people, and their discernment to judge false apostles.
It appears with these qualities they will pass, but they don’t. In fact, they fail and receive a warning to repent, or they will lose their position to shine their light. Why do they fail? Because they lose their love for Christ.
Ask yourself, “Do I still love Jesus like I once did before?
2. The second part of this examination applies to the church in Smyrna. They do not hear a rebuke but only words of encouragement. Who are they? They are the persecuted Church. He encourages them to not fear their imminent sufferings, but to be faithful to the end.
Therefore, the question to ask is, “Do I have the level of faithfulness it takes to endure persecution?”
3. The third part of this self-examination exposes twice in Revelation 2:13 the spiritual location of the church in Pergamum. Their dwelling is with satan. They are a cult. Their sins are idol worship, false gods, false teachings and acts of immorality. They are spiritually lost and receive the warning to repent, or He will make war against them.
Ask yourself, “Does my place of worship lift up Jesus as the one true God?”
4. The fourth section of this spiritual test is written to the church in Thyatira. She is the portion of God’s people who refuse to repent of their worldly ways. And they are so deceived that they even allow a spirit of Jezebel to lead them. And because they tolerate Jezebel they suffer with sickness, great tribulations (difficulties), and even their children are affected with pestilence.
As a healing minister, I have never seen God’s people as sick as I do now. I believe this is a direct consequence of allowing the evils of Jezebel to reign within the body of Christ.
Ask yourself, “Am I struggling to repent from ungodliness?”
5. The fifth part of this all-important test is written to the church in Sardis. She is religious, but spiritually dead. She receives the warning to wake up, repent, and get right with God. If she does not, He will come to her like a thief in the night.
Ask yourself, “Have I asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins and to be my Savior and Lord, or am I just going through the religious motions?
6. The sixth part of this examination addresses the church in Philadelphia. She is the second of the 7 churches that does not receive a rebuke, only an admonishment with a promise. Because of her faithfulness to God and His Word she will be kept from the hour of testing that will come upon the whole world.
Ask yourself, “Am I faithful to God and His Word?”
7. The seventh and final part of this exam is written to the church in Laodicea. She is the lukewarm church. She has no passion for the things of God. She has succumbed to the riches of this world and does not see how poor and wretched she really is. God sends His message to be zealous and repent, and to obtain the true riches that money cannot buy, redemption in Jesus Christ.
Ask yourself, “Am I passionate or passive for Jesus?”
Are you able to identify where you are spiritually? If you don’t like your spiritual location, then ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to make the necessary changes to move forward.
The word of the Lord would say to you, “Those who have ears to hear, listen.
I know the plans I have for you. They are not filled with destruction but are ordained to bless and prosper you.
Yes, we are living in the end, but I have not left you high and dry on the wayside.
No, I have set you on the path of righteousness, and the righteous hear of the end and they are glad.
They are not filled with fear because they are fully aware of My faithfulness to them.
Now, they are not naive like the foolish virgins, but are ready and prepared like the wise ones.
What did the wise possess? They had lamps filled with oil to shine their light. And their light shined for all to see, and their light was not hidden from the foolish. All could see that they carried the light.
They possessed the oil necessary to light their lamps. They even were prepared to shine when other lamps would grow dim for they possessed extra oil. They were wise and therefore tapped into the abundance of the oil before the return of their groom.
This portion of the bride was already dressed and ready to meet their groom whenever He would call them up hither. The crier asks you, “Are you ready to meet your Groom?”
Are your garments spotless? Have you rid yourself of all sin issues? Or do you have some more cleanup to do?
Are your garments free from wrinkles? Have you pressed them out? Or do you need to put the pressure on the old man’s ways and demand them out of your life for good?
The wise ready themselves to meet the Groom, the foolish do not. Are you ready?”
How do we prepare ourselves?
If we will put these 7 steps of faith into action, we will be ready for Jesus’ return.
