A Word From Candice Simmons

The way that we trust, the way that we believe—the way that we handle, process and obey His voice in moving forward this year will make all the difference in [determining] what kind of year we'll end up having. It will be "the same kind of different as you." How you react to adversity will make all the difference. Will you faint in the midst of trials? And how will you react to news that seems bad at first glance? Will you and I appropriate Psalm 112:7-8?

"They will not live in fear or dread of what may come, for their hearts are firm, ever secure in their faith. Steady and strong, they will not be afraid, but will calmly face their every foe until they all go down in defeat." (Psalm 112:7-8)

Fear cannot be a driving force in our lives. Faith, not fear, is the victory! And even if a battle does break out, God has already provided all the grace at the front end for you. Heaven's realm is open to the lovers of God to receive the grace that they need when they need it!

"So now don't wait but go freely and boldly to where love is enthroned to receive mercy's kiss and discover the grace you so urgently need to strengthen you in your time of weakness" (see Hebrews 4:16 TPT).

He's given us an open-ended invitation. The door is always open to go in and get what you need! Go and get your stuff (Hebrews 4:15-16)!
