The anticipation that

something MIGHT happen in our lives can cause us to experience stress and

discomfort as though it IS happening. The other side of that is that sometimes

we suffer for days about a negative thing never happens. That is called “living

in fear” and many people do that. They wake up in the morning in dread of the

day, rather than in anticipation of the blessings and victories that God has in

store. The scripture makes it quite clear that God doesn’t want us to live in

paranoia and fear, but the reality is that many of us do that anyway.

This message will speak logic

and hope to those of you who live in fear of failure, finances, rejection,

health, death, relationship breakups, and all of those other things that Satan

likes to bring to us. We can march into this new year as a child of God whose

Father has our future in His hands.
