		<description><![CDATA[2 Timothy 1:7  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Fear is a weapon that Satan uses against us to keep us down. If he can convince us that there is something to be afraid of, then the devil wins. This is the enemy's main tactic against us as Christians. Fear has no power unless we give in to it.

We can win the battle and defeat the devil by facing our fears. Stand up to any fear that is coming against you. No matter how hard it is, stand up and face it. You will find that, in most cases, facing whatever it is you are afraid of has no power when you stand up against it.

Hebrews 13:5-6  Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he 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.

Believe in God, he is your helper. As long as God is on your side, you do not have to be afraid of anything that man will do to you. Stand strong. Raise the standard of God as your battle flag and face your fears. You will be the victor!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Philippians 1:3-6  I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

These were Paul's words to the Christians of Philippi. He was accompanied by Timothy (Philippians 1:1). I could not have expressed my feelings for my readers any better than these verses. As you read, think of this as me speaking directly to you, dear reader. I pray that these words will bring you comfort through times of trouble.

I like to especially remember verse 6, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Jesus Christ is able to keep you. God gave you to him and he took that gift seriously. He protects us with his very life. After all, he gave his life for us on the cross.

Until next time,
Linda Sedrick Pearson]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2 Corinthians 1:21-24 

"Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand." 

Paul established to the church at Corinth that he and the other apostles were anointed by Christ. They were given the "earnest of the Spirit." When an earnest is paid - it is a down-payment to keep something. For instance, if you want to buy a house you are required to put down earnest money to hold the home until the specifics of the deal can be settled. 

God gave Paul and the apostles (and us) an earnest (down-payment) of the Holy Spirit. It was given so that He could hold onto those souls while He establishes the final details of the deal (salvation) between them. God gives all Christians (those who accept Him) this same earnest of the Holy Spirit.

Definition of earnest: showing good will, deep sincerity or seriousness. God is serious about salvation and about providing us with what we need to be God's helpers.

Paul further states that they (the apostles) did not have the rule over the faith of the others. He was establishing that they did not hold themselves up higher or better than any other in the church. 

We as Christians are all on the same level. It is true that each person has a different measure of faith, but we are all on the same level as far as our Christian lives. We are all sinners saved by the grace God and the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are helpers - put here to help each other. 

That is a good definition of Lords Helpers. We try to help others by posting Bible studies, prayer requests, and other writings to help others. That is our ministry to help God bring others to Jesus Christ. We are God's helpers. 

I thank God that we have been allowed this outlet of the Internet to spread the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I also thank Him for the earnest of His Spirit.]]></description>
