Week of 1/5/2026 Encouragement
1/5/2026
We are told repeatedly in God’s Word, not to fear or be afraid. Fear tries to replace God’s love, but His perfect love casts it out. When fear tries to rise, we must let God’s love rise and cast fear out. In times like these, we must stay strong and agree and declare God’s living Word. We are His remnant in the earth to call forth His will on earth, as it is in Heaven.
“But this is what you must do: Tell the truth to each other. Render verdicts in your courts that are just and that lead to peace. Don’t scheme against each other. Stop your love of telling lies that you swear are the truth. I hate all these things, says the Lord .”” Zechariah 8:16-17 NLT
We call for men and women in authority to speak truth and judgement, that leads to the peace in God. We command the scheming, false accusations, and lying against one another in this nation, to cease in the name of Jesus. Thank You Lord, that we, as Your people, are rising up and walking in Your love, integrity, and truth. Blessings, as you take your authority in the earth to call forth those things that need established in the earth. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

We have been bought and purchased by the precious Blood of Jesus, not with silver and gold, which perishes. We now contain a treasure in our earthen vessels, that releases resurrection life. What we have to give is priceless! It’s the very life of Christ in us, that has the power to heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead. We get to give the precious life of Jesus Christ to all we come in contact with.
“Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”” Acts 3:6 NKJV
How will people know of our wonderful Saviour, unless we tell them? May we have the boldness to speak His Word and give His precious life-giving promises. Blessings, as you freely serve others in the NAME OF JESUS! Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

The enemy would like to convince us that God doesn’t really care about us. The disciples found themselves in a life-threatening storm and Jesus was fast asleep during it. They woke Him up with that very question, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Immediately, He dealt with the situation, then let them know that fear was not the way to handle it.
“And He got up and [sternly] rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still (muzzled)!” And the wind died down [as if it had grown weary] and there was [at once] a great calm [a perfect peacefulness]. Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith and confidence [in Me]?”” Mark 4:39-40 AMP
Fear destroys our confidence and trust in our loving God. Faith and fear cannot co-exist, they war against one another. If we have turmoil within, we can call upon Jesus, and follow His example: rebuke (forbid) the storm and speak peace, be still, to it. Once we are centered in God’s peace and love, we can speak God’s Word with confidence and trust to the situations we are facing. Blessings, as God’s love fills you up, wrapping you in His perfect love and peace! Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

We are living in times in which the world would like us to keep quiet and just comply. That ideology goes contrary to what the Word teaches us. The apostles were imprisoned for preaching the good news of Christ and healing the sick. An angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, brought them out and gave them an assignment.
“Go, take your stand in the temple courts and declare to the people the whole doctrine concerning this Life (the eternal life which Christ revealed).” Acts 5:20 AMPC
We must choose to take our stand in the love and confidence of Christ. We speak the words of life, and the Word penetrates and transforms the mind, will, and emotions of people. We receive life from Jesus, and we release His life to others. Our confidence is in Christ! We are not moved by what man may say. Blessings, as you take your stand and declare God’s Word, which changes the atmosphere. Love ya’ll, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

When the disciples of Jesus were forbidden and threatened not to speak the Good News of Jesus, they didn’t ask to be hidden, they asked for boldness to speak God’s Word. They could not comply with the leadership of their day. They had to obey God, above man.
“So now, Lord, listen to their threats to harm us. Empower us, as Your servants, to speak the word of God freely and courageously. Stretch out Your hand of power through us to heal, and to move in signs and wonders by the Name of Your Holy Son, Jesus!”” Acts 4:29-30 TPT
In the very next verse, we are told Holy Spirit filled them to speak the Word with boldness. We must be careful to not be lulled into the compliance of what man dictates. We must first, and foremost, comply to God and walk in obedience to Him. Holy Spirit, release a holy courage in us to stand and boldly proclaim Your Word with signs and wonders! Blessings, as you freely share the Good News of Jesus! Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

In the battles we face, we must remember who the true enemy is. Our fight is not with people, but with demonic powers that try to establish evil mindsets.
“For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims . Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 TPT
The main weapon we have, Is God’s Word of truth in our hearts, being spoken out of our mouth. We consistently decree God’s Word and He establishes it. We continually take our rightful authority in Christ and bind principalities, and break the bonds of lies off of people. We loose God’s angels to minister salvation, and bind people to truth. These are just a few of the awesome things we get to do with our God!! Blessings, as you live in this natural realm, and wage war with the weapons of our mighty God! Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!
