SECURE..
This is the one word Christians struggle with the most. Am I secure? Why do I fear?
Many times when I am laying on the MRI table (which I will be, again, next Wednesday) I often go over these scriptures. When the fear creeps in, and takes control of my thoughts, these verses are the first thing I remember.
Especially the last one.
- Romans 8:1-2: I am free from condemnation.
- Romans 8:28: I am assured that God works for my good in all circumstances.
- Romans 8:31-39: I am free from any condemnation brought against me and I cannot be separated from the love of God.
- 2 Corinthians 1:21-22: I have been established, anointed, and sealed by God.
- Colossians 3:1-4: I am hidden with Christ in God.
- Philippians 1:6: I am confident that God will complete the good work He started in me.
- Philippians 3:20: I am a citizen of heaven.
- 2 Timothy 1:7: I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.
- 1 John 5:18: I am born of God and the evil one cannot touch me!
I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between me and God’s love because of the way that Jesus my Master has embraced me. -1 John 5:21
When satan tries to creep in and tell me I am all but doomed, I choose to trust God at His word :happy:

Excellent! Love the last line – POWERful!!!
“I choose to TRUST God at His Word.”
Trust has always been an issue in my life. Coming from an abusive background, I had learned how to put up walls between others & myself as a form of protection. Only problem was, I have recently realized that those same walls have been hindering my closeness with God.
The scriptures that you have shared have been a comfort and encouragement to me as well. The more I think on these promises, the more they become hidden in my heart.
The more I am able to believe and trust God at His Word; the more the walls come down that I have built up.
AND, as the walls continue to come down, I experience a deeper, more intimate relationship with Christ than I have ever had.
I am truly learning (at a slow pace, sometimes) that He is ENOUGH!
He always has been, He always will be.
Praise God!!!
