“For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.” (NASB)
STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS
“For God has not given us a spirit of timidity (deilia: fear, cowardice), but of power (dunamis: mighty work, strength) and love (agape: charity, affection, good will, love, benevolence) and discipline (sophronismos: an admonishing or calling to soundness of mind, to moderation and self control).”
SUMMARY
God has not given us a spirit of a coward who is fearful, but one of mighty strength, affectionate love and self control.
MEDITATION
To those who know Him, and are known by Him, He has given courage, power, love and the ability to be disciplined followers of Christ. As you go throughout your day today, remember, what and whom shall you fear? Go forth in His power, His great love and allow Jesus within you to teach you self control.

- ** Search for "Path To Zion Podcast" on YouTube or go to pathtozion.com, Joel's primary source of publishing these days. ** I'm pretty much your average 50 year old guy that lives in the beautiful mountains of Southwestern Virginia. I love being a daddy and a husband. I live to be continually conformed into the image of Christ and believe that I exist to bring Heaven down to the earth. I love to challenge what you believe - not so that I can prove that either of us are right or wrong, but to get you to know why you believe what you do. I'm not into conferences, glory meetings or hyped up Christianity. Nor am I stagnant and zombie-fied in ignorance and spiritual depravity while snoring in a church pew. Are these our only two options? Who will mature in Christ and seek to be conformed to His image above all else? I used to write.... ALOT. I started two books that have been temporarily "shelved" until some spare time returns. I long for Christ's sleeping church to awaken and share this whenever I can. I believe and personally know that God speaks to people today. Will you heed His voice? Feel free to email me at: pathtozionpodcast[@]gmail.com .

That's incouraging, to know that we can sand firm in our belief in Christ. That is some kind of amazing love! I am loving these Rhema's!
