You see, The WORD of God does not major on God’s power. We’re the ones who have been focused on His power. The WORD majors on the love of God. And without the love of God, you would never see a manifestation of God’s power.
So what did God tell Joshua to meditate on?
The WORD of God...the love of God. Because it’s that love that casts out fear. Notice God’s closing statement to Joshua: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” (Joshua 1:9).
As long as Joshua focused on the love of God—The WORD of God—there was no place for fear. It was gone. Rooted out!
This holds true for us today. Getting rid of fear takes some action on our part. Like Joshua, we have to meditate—constantly give our attention to—The WORD of God.
That means keeping our mind stayed on Him, keeping our mind stayed on His WORD, and keeping our mind stayed on His love. And we have to do that until we receive revelation of Hebrews 13:5-6: “...For [God] hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”
These days, we cannot saturate our minds with all the media reports of death, destruction, chemical warfare and terrorism, and still walk free of fear. We have to get our mind off what the world says and onto what The WORD says.
And The WORD says: All authority in heaven and earth has been given to you by the Name of Jesus. You have authority over everything that walks, everything that flies, everything that crawls, everything that swims and everything that creeps.
So focus on The WORD. Draw on the love of God. Then seize your authority like never before and…pull the plug on terrorism! V
