Apostle BILLEY.
Psalm 27
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
The Lord is my light… This is personal and we must each be personally sure of this.
Who should I fear?
In other words, he looks left and right, front and back, but sees no one to fear. Why? How is this possible? Because of the greatness of God who is with him.
Beloved, in 2025 you must triumph. Your triumph comes not from you, but from your God.
Your Lord who created you, who allowed you to be on this earth, He who has never abandoned you.
The God who is always with you, who is your light.
Only light can destroy darkness.
The presence of your Lord destroys the power of darkness.
Evil spirits only work in darkness. So when there’s no darkness, they can’t do anything.
So these wicked spirits can create darkness so they can dwell in darkness.
And fear is also part of the darkness. So these evil spirits will seek to create fear.
Beloved, a child of God need have no fear, for he is a child of God.
Being a child of God is a position, and God is with him.
And it was God who decided. So this child of God must not be unaware that God is with him.
For he knows God’s greatness, His ability, His value, His influence, His character, His speed…
So, in the face of wicked spirits seeking to create fear, you as a child of God must remember that these spirits promote darkness, you must understand that the devil does this to seek a foothold. Then you must resist, saying:
The Lord is the support of my life.
He’s the One who saved me, so I don’t have to be afraid.
Beloved, in this new year 2025, you must destroy the spirit of fear. Fear is an evil program, it comes from the devil.
How does fear begin?
It’s what you hear or see.
Brother, sister, you don’t have to be afraid. Know that before you hear this problem, this situation, God has already seen and heard. So you’re not the first person.
For example, if the doctor gives a wrong diagnosis, the devil will make you believe that something bad is happening. And if you accept this fear, it will create darkness within you.
A child of God must not be afraid, no matter what he hears or sees.
God is our light, the author of our salvation.
Consider this:
David was not afraid of Goliath. Yet Goliath was more armed, more experienced, more muscular, more renowned than David, but that doesn’t matter.
What counts is when God is with you. What gives victory is the fact that you are a child of God.
Psalm 27
2. When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell.
Beloved, if you are in sin, just ask God for forgiveness.
Sin does not cancel or erase the fact that you are a child of God. That’s your position.
No matter how dirty the car, it doesn’t change the brand.
All you have to do is repent and give up this evil.
God’s hand is upon you, you must begin to walk with Him.
We must praise the Lord, for He is our light and salvation.
Psalm 27
3. Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.
Where does this faith and confidence come from?
This confidence comes from the fact that God is there. Even in war and storm, God is there.
This is why it is written:
Isaiah 43.2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
You can go through the fire, but not be burned, because God is with you.
Remember, in Daniel 3:23-27.
Daniel 3.27 And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abed Nego, were not consumed, the fire did not touch them, for God was their light and the author of their salvation. It’s an alliance. They were in covenant with God. It is the continuity of the covenant through the blood of Jesus.
We are born again, we are in covenant with God. Because of this, we go from testimony to testimony.
Brother, sister, even when you feel weak, know that God is with you.
Jesus didn’t come to undo problems.
But He came to show us the depth of His love through all these situations.
That’s why never give up.
No matter how hard the wind blows, it never empties the sea.
Whatever tornado came through, it never destroyed all the houses. And the birds continue to fly.
It is God who sustains everything.
Beloved, it’s in trouble that God can tell if you love him. The problem is an opportunity to show that you have God inside you, to show your faith in God.
The problem is a blessing, it just depends on how you look at it.
David says in Psalm 18:3. I cry out: Praise the Lord! And I am delivered from my enemies.
Likewise, Paul and Silas were thrown into prison. But they did not see the chains, but only looked to God. They understood that God wanted to do something through this problem. So they started praising God.
While they were praising God, the prison walls crumbled. They were able to claim victory.
Acts 16.25 About midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang the praises of God, and the prisoners heard them.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.
Beloved, in 2025, be superior to all your enemies, to all your situations in Jesus’ name!
Often, when God wants to raise you up, there are situations that can happen.
How do you know God is with you?
When it comes to situations that might make you feel afraid or cry, you need to replace it with praise.
To remind you that God can never abandon you. Overcome fear, praise God when you see strange situations.
Consider this:
Although the liner Titanic capsized and was destroyed, the boats continue to be built.
Today, there are boats bigger than the Titanic.
Despite plane crashes, we continue to fly.
Beloved, proclaim Jesus, proclaim your victory over every situation. Praise God!
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, Let Us Pray… →
Father, I ask your forgiveness for all my offenses.
You are my Light, help me to walk with You.
Lord Jesus, in your name I am victorious.
In Jesus’ name, I tread on serpents, and crush scorpions against my life.
May the darkness associated against me be destroyed in Jesus’ name.
Any program against my life, my family, my health, my spouse, my children…be destroyed.
You, spirit of fear against my soul, you are destroyed in the name of Jesus!
I belong to Jesus, my Redeemer.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
