FAITH!

Good Afternoon, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

The other day, our same dear friend also sent us another tidbitz on FEAR - from the Kenneth Copeland ministries and I will include that message in today's post.

Interestingly enough,  the more I discover, the less I know. Alan and I have quite literally put our FAITH on the line. We live one day at a time and we are thankful for our daily Blessings. Eventhough we are in a very tough spot, we have to keep on trekking in FAITH and in TRUST, knowing that He has a Purpose for all of this.

As mentioned, we had prayerfully thought something was happening.
There still may be things brewing in the works; however, clarity and transparency are sorely needed.  The 'goal posts' / stories keep changing. The saying: "Oh the web we weave, when at first, we choose to deceive" appears to be an ever glaring truth!

Sadly, there is deception,  manipulation, iindignation, ridicule etc including false accusations;  as in decoys to confuse and deviate from the TRUTH.

The King James Version, this Commandment comes to mind -  "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour"  (9th Commandment)

Tidbit - 'He is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.'

Bittid - More than ever, put on the WHOLE Armor of God.

Free From Fear

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. - 2 Timothy 1:7

What would you think if I told you that you could live without fear? Would you believe me if I said that despite what you saw on the news tonight, you could be perfectly at peace? Impossible? Unrealistic? No! You see, fear isn't just a reaction to external circumstances. It's a spiritual force. It begins inside a person. And it is totally destructive. In fact, fear is Satan's primary weapon. He moves in response to fear, the way God moves in response to faith. He challenges the promises of God with it. An excellent example of this is found in Matthew 14 when Jesus invited Peter to come to Him on the water. "But when he [Peter] saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me" (verse 30). What enabled Peter to walk on the water? His faith in the Word of Jesus. What caused Peter to sink? He saw the wind boisterous and he was afraid. It wasn't the wind that defeated him, it was his fear of it! He looked at his circumstances, gave into the fear, and the result was defeat. If Peter had kept his focus on Jesus, his faith would never have wavered. All the blustering and blowing in the world couldn't have drawn him off course. Faith is developed by meditating on God's Word. Fear is developed by meditating on Satan's lies. Such fearful meditation is called worrying. Don't do it! The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit. Use it to fight Satan every time he comes against you. Hold up your shield of faith and quench all of his fiery darts. Speak words of faith and fear will depart. By Kenneth Copeland

In a bittidz, it has been both an enlightening and a dismaying revelation. However, I thank Him for the lessons Alan and I are learning through these experiences. We are leaving all the consequences to Him and, looking forward to His Solution.

As mentioned, I am not computer savvy; however, have managed to include the appropriate DONATE link. If you can help a bit, a heartfelt and appreciative thank you!

You can refer to my June 1st post  Timing  - which shares a bittid of background.  It is our tidbit hope that once we are stabilized, then any excess help from: donations, will also go to various ministries. As in PAY IT FORWARD.  Apart from Alan and I saying Prayers for others, we also are in need of a few tid Prayers ourselves.

I like this empowering photo image! As in putting on the whole Armor of God!

Ephesians 6:10-18

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
¹³ Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
¹⁴ Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
¹⁵ And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
¹⁶ Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
¹⁸ Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Peace and God Bless.
