Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”).
Galatians 3:13 (NKJV)
Do you often feel anxious?
If you wake up in the morning with your stomach already in a knot before the day has even begun, you need to know that every day and in every moment, you have the power to submit to God and resist that fear.
Never give in to fear. We as believers have not been given a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Even if your income goes down, don’t submit to the fear of lack. God is empowering you to find a way. You may have to change your spending habits. You may need to talk to an adviser about your finances.
Maybe you’ll even need to find a second job for a period of time to get yourself out of debt, but don’t submit to fear.
If you receive a bad diagnosis from the doctor, don’t submit to fear.
You may need to change your diet or your lifestyle. Maybe you’ll need to go on medication or go through surgery to recover. That’s fine; God can work through doctors too! Whatever you do, don’t submit to the sickness. The Spirit of God within you resists sickness, and He is at work in you while you are working with the doctors and/or natural health experts. Keep standing on the promise that you will live a long life and see good days (1 Peter 3:10)!
As a believer, you are empowered to live in peace, no matter what you’re facing!
