FORTY DAYS TO FEARLESSNESS Forty days to fearlessness. Is that possible? Whether it's accomplished in 40 days, or the cycle must be repeated several times, the truths within these pages and the Scriptures included have the power to overcome the spirit of fear that attempts to overwhelm us. God's goal is to make us fearless! These devotionals are not meant to be quick five-minute reads or provide an instant fear-fix with a single verse. Therefore, determine to take time to not just read but meditate on God's words-even memorize them-allowing them to penetrate, permeate, and saturate your mind, soul, and spirit until you are grounded in His love and peace. Jesus said that one of the signs of the end-times would be "men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth." Those times have begun! The Lord knows how fearful His sheep are, so He tells us not to fear over 300 times. Take time to meditate well on 40 Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation and get to know God as Immanuel-"God with us." Determine to become a child of God who is fearless amid today's issues and circumstances.
