Feint, Don't Faint!

The Lord is a fortress of protection around and about you, and He has provided you the specific tools you need to further your ministry.

Do not flail in fear and do not avert your eyes or turn back on the path. Walk boldly forward in faith that God is with you, before you, and behind you. There is nothing to fear. There are many frightening apparitions, but they have no substance. Don’t fall to their wiles; they entice you to panic. Don’t be afraid of being hurt; He is with you. Don’t blanch at every threat; He is victorious. Feinting is not the same as fainting! Feint, don’t faint!

You see, Child, it is acceptable to dodge a blow, but you must not run except to the Lord, and you must not attempt to hide anywhere but under the shadow of His wings. A feint does two things: it allows you to maneuver out of line of the enemy’s intended blow, and it also is a ruse to draw his attention in the wrong direction. The Lord will help you. Feint toward the Lord and leave the job of outfoxing the fox to the Him. You do not fight alone. HE IS WITH YOU!

Scripture: "The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save, he will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love..." (Zephaniah 3:17).
