F.E.A.R. to F.A.I.T.H.

I am appreciative that God chose to go deeper into His meaning of what He shared with me last night with my last post about F.E.A.R. ~

False Evidence Appearing Real = Lies of the devil... alas, full circle... F.E.A.R

What does this mean to me, you, people in general... are you ready??!! .... FULL JOY!!!!!!! :o) Why??!! Because... when our CONFIDENCE comes from God... NOT MAN... there REALLY IS a difference.... BE JOYFUL IN THIS TRUTH!!!!!!! :o)

I've said that before... that I believed there was a difference in the confidence that God gives versus the confidence that man gives, and that I KNEW THAT I KNEW THAT I KNEW IT because it was a work that God did in me... thankfully!!!!!!! :o) I just wasnt' sure how to share or express it to or with others. Now He has shown me that, too!! :o)

See, I took that F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real), when I had seen it before, as something more spiritual... with a deeper meaning... but I didn't understand what that deeper meaning was (and doesn't that just bother you to no end sometimes when you can't figure something out! ...TIP... lol... give whatever THE SOMETHING is over to God and He WILL REVEAL it's meaning to you in His time if He wants you to know it! That way that relieves you of STRESSING!!!!!!! (TALKING FROM EXPERIENCE HERE!! :o) ) ... sorry for the ramble, but back to the deeper meaning of F.E.A.R. or False Evidence Appearing Real... it's LIES... let's say it again... False Evidence Appearing Real... so applied to our daily lives...

F.E.A.R = LIES (of the devil, enemy, people, however we choose to say it.... it's still lies)

F.E.A.R. = False Evidence Appearing Real = LIES

I also believe if we try to delve too much where and when we're not supposed to... the devil, enemy, whatever you want to call him or refer to him as... will possibly take us down a road we really don't want to go... full of STRESS, TROUBLE, DECEIT, MANIPULATION, HOWEVER MANY MORE YOU CAN THINK OF... :o(

The F.E.A.R. and it's definition, "False Evidence Appearing Real" had reminded me of F.A.I.T.H. and it's definition, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1

Faith ALWAYS TRUMPS fear anyway because faith is of God and fear is of the devil... if you don't believe in God and the devil.. then it's (the reason Faith trumps fear) because Good trumps evil.... break it down to where your belief is right now... :o)

So... the TAKEAWAY from this is...

If and when lies, gossip, or whatever ... false evidence appearing real... are being told about you... give it to God, stand in the confidence HE gives and has for you, and TAKE YOUR FULL JOY!!!!!!! :o)

*** there is actually a scripture (for those of you who may not know this) that actually says this will happen to you, me, all of us... because it happened to Jesus. Now to what extent and which ones will happen... ONLY God knows at this point... another reason we should be going to the SOURCE... aka God... right?!! :o)
