Tony Evans - Message: Don't Let Fear Control You During the Coronavirus. As we face the COVID-19 crisis together, we should trade our fears for trust as we are going through this trial. Now is the time to draw near to God and to draw near to one another, even as we remain physically distant. We hope this message from Tony's Table will encourage you today.
Joyce Meyer (April-03-2022) Daily Devotion: Overcome Fear with Faith.
Fear can take many forms—worry, anxiety, panic or even dread. But it’s so important for us to get the upper hand on fear because it does not come from God.
Even when we face uncertainty or difficulties in life, God wants us to have faith that He is with us in the struggle and that He can do great things. He wants us to remain positive and full of hope!
Faith is the opposite of fear. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith allows us to believe that God is going to do something great even before it comes to pass. Faith enables us to believe things that may not make sense to our natural minds.
One of the main ways we release our faith is through what we say. So, even when it doesn’t look like good things are happening, it’s important to say what God’s Word says about our situation.
When you are going through a difficult time or find yourself expecting the worst, I encourage you to say things like:
“God has a great plan for my future, and I believe something good is going to happen today!” (See Jeremiah 29:11.)
“My future is bright, and I have nothing to worry about—God is taking care of me. The Lord’s goodness and mercy follow me every single day of my life!” (See Philippians 4:6; Psalm 23:6.)
“I don’t have to fear, because God is always with me.” (See Joshua 1:9.)
Living by faith doesn’t mean that we ignore our circumstances, but it means that we choose to focus on God and believe that He is greater than anything we are going through (see Ephesians 3:20).
Pray: “God, thank You for watching over every detail of my life. When things are uncertain, help me to believe Your Word more than my doubts and fears. Help me to speak words of faith and say what You say about my situation. I know that You are greater than my fears and You have good things planned for my future. In Jesus’ Name, amen.”
Joyce Meyer (April-01-2022) Daily Devotion: I Will Not Fear!
There was a time in my life when I had more fears than I could count. I was always afraid the absolute worst would happen. I worried about our finances, our kids, the state of the world and what tomorrow would bring. As a result, I couldn’t enjoy my life or have the peace God wanted to give me.
Fear is one of the primary weapons Satan uses to keep us from moving forward and enjoying the good life God has for us. Especially when something negative happens, the enemy wants us to focus on all of the “what ifs” and fill our lives with worry and anxiety. He desires to pull our focus away from God’s love and faithfulness.
The Bible says, There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear… (1 John 4:18 NIV). Understanding God’s love is the antidote for fear! God wants us to know just how much He loves us and desires to help us.
When I think of my own children, especially when they were younger, there’s almost nothing I wouldn’t do to help them if they were in trouble. Or if someone tried to harm them, they’d better watch out...because no one gets between a mom and her kids!
If we feel this way about our children, then how do you think God feels about us? And unlike us, He has no limitations. Nothing is impossible with Him—He can help us in every situation, on every occasion.
Hebrews 13:5-6 (AMP) is one my favorite passages of Scripture. Just look at what God says about you: “…I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless, nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!
Remember, whatever you’re facing today, God is bigger than your worries, your problems and your fears. He knows every one of your needs before you ever have them, and He delights in taking care of you.
Pray: “God, when I am fearful, help me to focus on Your love and faithfulness. Especially during times of difficulty or uncertainty, fill my heart with Your peace and help me to place my trust in You. In Jesus’ Name, amen.”
Jentezen Franklin Sermon: Choosing Faith Over Fear. This is "Choosing Faith Over Fear." I delivered this message to an empty sanctuary, yet thousands of people, including President Trump, joined us online. This is, undoubtedly, unprecedented times we are facing, but God is unchanging. The commandment given most often in the Bible is “Fear not,” and it’s coupled with the promise, “For I am with you.” I’m praying for an infusion of faith across our nation. Join me in continued prayer for those who are suffering, and for a swift end to this novel coronavirus sweeping our world.

There are seeds of revival hidden in this virus. The time has come for Christians everywhere to unite and walk in the supernatural favor of God. The world is under supernatural attack, but what the enemy meant for evil, God can use for good (Genesis 50:20)!
So please, join us at 2:30 p.m. Mountain time, as well as each night this week for words of encouragement and hope from some of the best teachers. Let's walk through this fire together and emerge without even the smell of smoke on our hair (Daniel 3:27)! The Lord has given Andrew a word for such a time as this . . . you won't want to miss it!
