Sozo And Shalom
Many things in life, like sickness, financial struggles or trials, appear to be curses but may be the result of living in a fallen world and our life-styles. Unrepentant attitudes of sin, unbelief and disobedience or involvement in witchcraft or other such activities open the door for the demonic forces to take hold.
We, with our earthly wisdom, want to please God with our works and offerings while David asked us to be still and to stop our own efforts and let God’s love overflow and overwhelm you.
When success is due to God, there is no reason to feel personal pride. Feelings of satisfaction in our efforts bring joy and lead to reverence and worship of the Source of it all.
We must love God and in the same manner love others, for we are loved and filled with His love.
Despite all that God has given us, we are formed from, return to, live on and are provided for by this earth.
The All-knowing God has created us with that internal strength to cope with any situation by overcoming its ill-effects through forgetting them over time.
At every step of our walk of faith, doubts will keep on coming into our minds but we turn to the Word to find an answer and counter doubts.
God is Omnipresent, present everywhere but once we recognise His presence, we submit to His authority and give Him glory.
We need to follow the practice of reviewing our daily activities before going to sleep and in that try and remember the details of the Word that we heard or read.
Psalm 31:24 “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.”
