False Evidence Appearing Real Vs Fearless Attitude In The Heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FEAR always sees the height of the Mountain. The emphasis is on
its ruggedness and the impossibility of going over it, around it or through
it.
FAITH always sees the Mountain
Mover. Nothing is impossible with
God. He instructed for us to simply
“speak” to the Mountain and then it would be removed. “If you say unto this mountain, Be removed,
and be cast into the sea; it shall be done.” (Mat. 17:20)

FEAR always sees the disease. Immediately the mind runs with scenarios of
“what if” leaving no room for faith.
FAITH always sees the Great
Physician. He suffered and pair for
our healing. There is no sickness and no
disease that He did not already provide healing for. “With His stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

FEAR always sees the Obstacle. It does not the size, just the fact that it
is in the way hinders the progress. When
it is the focus, then the runner stops running, the climber stops climbing, the
walked stops walking and the worker stops working.
FAITH always sees the Opportunity. A
military training course is filled with obstacles such as hurdles, fences, walls
and ditches, but they must be overcome.
They cannot be allowed to hinder the training. Instead you must see the obstacle as an
opportunity. The Word declares: “I can run through a troop and by My God I
can leap over a wall.” (Ps.
18:28)

FEAR always sees the crisis. In the time of crisis, we feel paralyzed and
unable. It may be in an acute disease,
fever, distress, or other happening. At
such times, fear brings hopelessness and despair to consume us.
FAITH always sees the challenge
in the moment of crisis. Since there is
no way of escape, now God can work His works.
When Moses stood looking at the Red Sea
with the multitude of people behind him plus Pharaoh and all of his soldiers
chasing after them, Moses was in a crisis.
They would either drown or be killed by Pharaoh’s army. BUT GOD showed up! Moses stood still and God opened the Red Sea. “The
Lord shall fight you and you shall hold your peace.” (Ex.
14:14)

The majority will always see and
obey an evil report. They will always
see the giant. Satan’s favorite entry
point into your life will always be through someone who is close to you.
When you make the choice to stand
and believe God, you do not only have God’s attention, but Jesus said that He
would never leave you nor forsake you.
His Word also states emphatically that His angels are encamped round
about you. You see, you are part of the
real majority.
Do not rely on your own
understanding. Choose to believe what
you see in the Spirit more than what you see in the natural. God seeks those who worship Him in Spirit and
in Truth. He tells us to “walk in the
Spirit.” Choose to BELIEVE and have
FAITH in Him. “NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO
YOU.” (Mat. 17:20)
