“FEAR NOT!”

What do you fear most? Think about that for a moment! What brings you great fear and causes you the most concern?

It could be the fear of your children being harmed in school or anywhere else. Is it the fear of a doctor’s report or the fear of getting the dreaded call that a loved one has been in an accident or has dies!

Does the fear of not being able to pay your bills, provide for your children or losing or not finding a job haunt you?

Some fear getting old and not being able to care for oneself or the dreaded old age memory diseases!

You have heard lately a lot of teaching on fear because we are living in a day ripe with the opportunity to fear!

I want to share some scriptures about fear and how to apply them. I believe we can never get too much encouragement from God’s word!

Hebrews 13:6 (KJV)
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Your words are powerful! “BOLDLY SAY” aloud that the Lord is your helper! Repeat it over and over and let Him help you!

Luke 12:7 (KJV)
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Do you really believe this? Understand how valuable you are to God and speak it out! Tell God that you know He will take care of you because you are His Beloved son or daughter!

Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Do we really believe God will do what He says? Do we believe God is good, or do we believe He might do it? We know He can but will He for us!

Psalm 118:6 (KJV)
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

These amazing scriptures show us that God is on our side! Why is it so hard to Trust that He will give us Peace that the world cannot give and will fight our battles?

I believe it is because we really do not comprehend how much we are Loved by our Creator! Our minds are tied to the Love of others that is much less than perfect.

1 John 4:18 (KJV)
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

The answer is in receiving and walking in the Perfect Love of Jesus! The above scripture shows us when we walk in fear, we have not completely understood the Love of the Father poured out through Jesus.

How I long to be filled with so much of God’s Love that fear never knocks on or ever gets entrance to my Spirit, Soul, and Body!

2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

We can know in our minds the truth that fear is not from God, but how do we get that truth deep in our spirits so we can walk in its truth daily!

Spending time in His presence in prayer and praise. As we learn to abide in His presence the truths of the powerful word of God will penetrate our earthly bodies and minds and fill us full of the understanding of who He is and who we are in Him!

As we are in His presence and repeating His words of having no fear back to Him a transformation will continue to take place.

The perfect Love that cast out fear will fill us until we overflow with confidence that He is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do!

We can then walk out 1 Peter 5:7!

1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

It is a process, but if you are prone to fear, begin to speak the Word which is Truth, and the Truth will set you free!

Fear and Faith cannot abide together! May we allow Faith to fill us, and fear will flee!

Father, thank you for your Love that cast out all fear. I ask you to fill each person who reads this with Faith that stamps out fear. Be real to each of us deep in the innermost part of us, our Spirit, and let the reality of who you are flow through our mind, will and emotions. You are God and You are real, and You give us peace and push fear all the way back to hell where it belongs. In Jesus name I pray! A-men!

Fear Not!

Love, MeMaw
