Romans 3:24-25Amplified Bible (AMP)
24 and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] [a]grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] [b]sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation (propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His forbearance [His deliberate restraint] He passed over the sins previously committed [before Jesus’ crucifixion].
For my healing, I don't offer anything I have done or not done, but I offer you the blood of Jesus, Father God! I offer the blood of Jesus I took when I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior, now and for all time and eternity. For my mental, psychological, physical, spiritual, financial and social well-being I offer only one thing...the life giving, saving blood of Jesus!
I cannot offer anything I have done or have not done, anything I have or have not accomplished...it is by His accomplishment on the cross, His death and resurrection and my firm belief in it that accomplished it all and is the only accomplishment You recognize and deem acceptable to the saving of my soul and the healing of my body. Therefore, oh God, I offer Jesus's blood to you! For my healing, I bring the blood of Jesus. For my salvation from every distressing care and hell itself, I bring the blood of Jesus to You. For my protection, I bring the blood of Jesus to You. For my vindication in all wrongs, I bring the blood of Jesus to You! Nothing else can I offer, nor will You accept, but the blood and it screams IT IS FINISHED AND IT IS DONE!
I am complete because of that blood. My victory and triumph in every circumstance, at all times is secured and stands fast because of His blood (2 Corinthians 2:14)! I am redeemed and restored because of the blood...only the blood has the power to heal me, restore me, save me, and it will complete EVERY good work that was begun in me in this life and the life which is to come!
It is through faith in God's word that we are protected. How do I keep from being afraid? By putting faith in God's word! By having faith in the BLOOD OF JESUS! Exodus 12:23 tells us when Israel put blood on the door facing, the destroyer could not come in. The animal blood they used then serves as a type and shadow, or a picture, f the Blood of Jesus which ratifies our better protection--under our BETTER Covenant.
When we confess out loud, "I am protected by the Blood of Jesus"---and believe it, the devil literally cannot come in!!! Remember verse 2 in Psalm 91 tells us, 'I will say...the Lord is my Refuge and my Fortress." It is HEART AND MOUTH--- believing with our heart and confessing with our mouths. The Blood is applied by SAYING IT in faith. Confessing with our mouth and believing with our heart starts with the new birth experience and set precedence for receiving all of God's good gifts (Romans 10:9-10).
If we find ourselves being afraid of the terror by night, that is our barometer to let us know we are not dwelling and abiding up close to the Lord in the shelter of the Most High and believing His promises. Fear comes when we are confessing things other than what God has said. When our eyes are not on God, fear will come. But let that fear be a reminder to repent.
WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7
We have to choose to believe His Word more than we believe what we see--more than we believe the terror attack. Not that we deny the existence of the attack. The attack may be very real, but God wants our faith in His Word to become more of a reality to us than what we see in the natural. Example...gravity. Satan's attacks can also be superseded by a higher law---the law of faith and obedience to God's Word. Faith does not deny the existence of terror. There are simply higher laws in the Bible for overcoming it.
David saw the giant and didn't deny it. His eyes saw the giant, but his faith saw the promises (1 Samuel 17).

STUDY NOTES 10/17/15
Ephesians 6:11 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. Notice it says STRATEGIES, not power! Be aware of the enemy's schemes, traps, devices.
Luke 10:19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
All authority is given to me in the name of Jesus...satan is stripped of any power to hurt or harm me. The only way he can is if I stand and allow him to by doing nothing, saying nothing. I then have handed him my authority to whip me with. Example...a police officer who refuses to draw and use his gun or his authority behind the badge when met with a lawbreaker...the lawbreaker then takes the officers weapons and uses them against him/her. So it is with spiritual authority of the believer.
Matthew 10 AMPLIFIED Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority and power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
2 Now these are the names of the twelve [a]apostles (special messengers, personally chosen representatives): first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother; [b]James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew (Nathanael); Thomas and Matthew (Levi) the tax collector; [c]James the son of [d]Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas, not Iscariot); 4 Simon the Cananaean (Zealot), and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.
5 Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them: “Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not go into a city of the Samaritans; 6 but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 9 Do not take gold, or silver, or [even] copper money in your money belt, 10 or a provision bag for your journey, or even two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker deserves his support. 11 Whatever city or village you enter, ask who in it is worthy [who welcomes you and your message], and stay at his house until you leave [that city]. 12 As you go into the house, give it your greeting [that is, ‘Peace be to this house’]. 13 If [the family living in] the house is worthy [welcoming you and your message], give it your [blessing of] [e]peace [that is, a blessing of well-being and prosperity, the favor of God]. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace. 14 Whoever does not welcome you, nor listen to your message, as you leave that house or city, [f]shake the dust [of it] off your feet [in contempt, breaking all ties].
Our feet are shod with the preparation of peace...our feet take us to places where peace is and if there isn't peace there, they take us away from confusion, anger, anxiety, fear, etc..
