Hello and Welcome to The Gathering, Daughters of the Living King, where women seek to know and experience the love of Christ. I am your host, Judy Killebrew, and my experience and passion is in encouraging and empowering women and their walk of Faith With the Lord. Hebrews 10:25 states “and let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”
Have you ever thought of how our five senses (what we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch) are the gateways to our mind……the contact point between our external and our internal worlds. Our outside environment can produce a thought. Thoughts then trigger our senses, which then trigger internal emotions, reasonings, imaginations, or memories that lead us to act. In other words, thoughts produce emotions….emotions lead us to act…acts become habits…and habits become lifestyles. This is why it is important that “we walk by faith, not by sight” as 2 Corinthians 5:7 instructs us. We should not rely on our own understanding or experiences to guide us in life. Instead, we should trust in God's promises and guidance. The psalmist David said in Psalm 139:23-24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me and lead me in the way everlasting”. Friends, by recognizing our thoughts we can ensure that we are being led and driven to walk by faith instead of feelings of fear.
Friends, know that nothing in this world can steal or shake the eternal peace of God. God’s shalom has no beginning and will have no end. The peace of Christ strengthens our faith and is greater than our fear.

John 14:27 says “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”.

So, faith is not about what we can see, touch, hear, smell or taste. Nor is it based on what we might be able to comprehend with our finite minds. It is, however, about what we choose to believe and in whom we choose to trust—by our own free will.

And walking in faith is always an active and deliberate choice. Choose daily to follow God’s plan. While our feelings can sometimes be wrong, God will never be. When we are obedient to His Word and His way of doing life, we will be filled with strong, grounded faith—a faith that has grown far beyond how we feel; it becomes what we believe, what we know. We become believers who are walking according to His will, by faith not feelings.

Let’s pray:

Abba Father, we praise you and give you all the glory. Forgive us for trying to do life our own way. Help us to remember that your way is the best way. Thank you for teaching us that Your love is eternal and strong, regardless of what we may be feeling from day to day. Help us to trust more in Your promise of love and to focus more on Your Truth. Help us to stay grounded in faith and not fear. Father be with us and guide us through each day. We pray in the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
