In Spirit And In Truth Hebrews 4:13 Jesus answered, “Those who drink this water will get thirsty again, but those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life.” Hebrews 4:23-24 But the time is coming and is already here, when by the power of God's Spirit people will worship the Father as he really is, offering him the true worship that he wants. God is Spirit, and only by the power of his Spirit can people worship him as he really is.” Fearless love Mental Opposition: For some it may be physical opposition but no matter what type of opposition we face if we're not stationary in God, rooted in Christ we will be thrown off and easily moved by our situations and circumstances. I was told one time through prophecy that there was a root in the ground, but it was not stationary yet. At the time I didn't understand quite what they meant by that but as I went on through the situations and circumstances that life brings us, I found myself in dread and doubt and grief and in fear. The root that was not strong enough yet went deeper into God's love as I gave Him all the cares. I was driven to the place where I could say, Lord, I trust you. This might still be happening, but I trust you, this hurts my heart, but I trust you, thank you, Father, thank you, Lord Jesus. We have to learn to lay everything down before him so the spirit of God can show us how to bear fruit in every season. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. Trust in the LORD with all your heart Deuteronomy 6:5 And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. Peace that surpasses all understanding - Stand Firm in the Lord - He will guard your heart and mind Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
