31 Days: Produce Change

He is BIGGER and stronger than anything you fear.   

Jesus said, "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Please do not just skip over the familiar scriptures. Allow their truth to wash over you anew word by word.  In Matt. 10:24-31, Jesus tells us that we will be maligned, as He was. "Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.  Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows." 

Go and act and speak and do not fear (an instruction to be obeyed). You have a courage that you do not even know is inside of you, placed there by the power of the Holy Spirit within you. 

Rise up and be unafraid to be different and to speak in the light. Don't hide away and keep to yourself what He teaches you.  Don't hide it away. (Luke 8:16)

Looking to 'that day' and eternal rewards, along with the PEACE that comes to your soul today as you walk in obedience, be filled with courage to be different from this culture. Do not fear 'them'. 

"The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever leans on, trusts in, and puts his confidence in the Lord is safe and set on high." Prov. 29:25

Know and believe Him (Isaiah 43:10-13) and stand with Him, and 'produce change' in your sphere of influence and beyond.
