Courage is a place of stepping out into arenas and situations is which the person is not necessarily comfortable or familiar with. To me courage is faith amplified. According to the God’s Word Translation Bible, Deuteronomy 31: 6 states “Be strong and courageous. Don’t tremble! Don’t be afraid of them! The Lord your God is the one who is going with you. He won’t abandon you or leave you.” As the saints are drawn out of areas of comfort and what they are familiar with in life, they may feel like things are spinning out of control. In the natural, it is as though a funnel cloud has come upon them to sweep up and take everything they know and have with the strong forces of the wind that is produced when the appearance of a funnel cloud is present. Not so, quite the opposite. It is the wind of the Holy Spirit that is stirring things up in your lives. It may feel like everything is attempting to be taken from you but in reality it is the movement of God’s hand trying to release to you all that He has for you. Not to be forgotten or forsaken. There are dreams, visions, words spoken into your lives, and destinies to be fulfilled in so many saints’ lives. In our eyes, we see these happenings as a grand proportion, when in reality it is an ordinary undercurrent in the hands of God. Do not fret, worry, allow it to grow in your minds image to something that it is not, and above all, do not run from it and hide. Embrace it and stand before it with courage for that is when God can empower you with the tools to cast down those imaginations that are creating something to be that is not. We are to call forth things as though they are not as though they are. Be cautious and wise as to what you are calling forth in your lives and the lives of your family. This truly is an exciting time in which we live. We are the generation to usher in the mighty move of God upon the earth. As I write this, I am speaking to myself also. At times, I am guilty of thinking things are much more worse than how God sees it.
