What are we preaching fear or faith? Many times we Christians are all about preaching fear when we ought to preach faith. As it is written faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. the bottom line is you believe before you see, why because you know that you surely know that he who has promised or who you believe can not let you down.
When God promises anything he puts an appointed time for the manifestation of it. Mind you it says appointed time not turn. You see when it is your time it is your time compared to when it is your turn. you see Turn can be taken away from you it is like being first on the line someone might jump the queue and overtake and be served before you. But when god says it is your time then rest assured that it is yours no one can take it away from you.
I have heard pastors preach that your dream will be taken away from you. Some say you are in battles with demons. Now Jesus said in this life you will have tribulations but take heart for I have overcome the world. Now it is also written that we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.
Joseph when he had a dream he told his parents and brothers who did not like his dream. Eventually they tried to bury the dream by trying to kill him, then sold him. While in Egypt bosses wife tried to sleep with him but he refused. Eventually he was thrown in prison for a crime he did not do. But notice that in all trials and tribulations he was actually saved by God. It is clear that God was in charge from the beginning. God allowed him to go through all that so that he may be positioned exactly where God wanted him to be.
If you look in the bible God is emphasizing that Do not be afraid of the enemy. Yet you will find a man of God telling his flock the devil is stopping things from happening. And then he says now I will pray for you it will not happen again. He first creates fear in you and tells you he is the only one who can stop the devil from harassing you. Yet the world of God clearly says all things work together for the good of those who love God and who are called for his purposes.
What Im I am saying should you not bind demons? No that's not what I am saying at all there is time and season for all that If the holy Spirit is leading you that way then go down that route. The whole Idea is let us give hope to the body of Christ. Stop banging so much about the devil and demos. As much as we want to teach people that demons sometimes frustrate peoples progress let us empasise on the power of God. I mean God is so faithful As Jesus said in this life we will have tribulations but take heart for I have overcome the world. Notice he stressed his victory not the oppositions power. Come on people of God give people hope and faith.
Let us stop preaching fear and preach hope and faith. As it is written faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The more you hear the word of faith the more your faith becomes strong. Like wise the more you hear about the devil and his demons, your faith becomes fear you stop believing that God can bring you out. Brothers and sisters God is working out all things for our good believe that. After all he is our father can a father allow his children to be harassed all the time no way. If anything believe that God is in control and he will get you exactly where he wants you to be.
