Don't Give In To Fear!
The nearer we get to the climax of the age, the more we see events
unfolding which are designed to bring fear onto the earth. We must
not take on this fear that is in the world though. The spirit of fear
that tries to overtake us, is not from God. All GOOD gifts come from
Him.
God, Jehovah, is not so bereft of ideas that he has to give people
diseases to teach them lessons, nor so weak that His followers have to
kill and murder to fulfill their plans. Also, our God does not break His
promises. Other gods are capricious and cannot be trusted to act towards
their followers in love, but not the TRUE God, Jehovah. He's a GOOD God.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us the
spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
God even supplies us with the faith to believe His word and speak His
word, to receive all the good things that Jesus Has provided for us.
Feed your heart on the word of God, which is Jesus and the Bible. Then,
when you say what God says you will have, you will receive what God
said you should receive!
Isa 55:10-11 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it".
Seek the Lord and He will answer you and He will rescue you from all
your problems. Our God fights for us!
Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and He
answered me and delivered me from all my fears.
Of course, this fear that we are talking about here is distinct from
"the fear of the Lord". The fear of the Lord is referring to an "awe and
healthy respect" for God, who is above all and greater than all.
The fear that is in the world cause people to become refugees from their
county, to have depression, to be widowed and orphaned and to live in
dread of the false gods and their followers.
But, as you walk in faith of the TRUE God, this will push fear (human dread)
out of your heart. Both faith and this world's fear are built up by the
words we hear and the words we speak. So we should listen to and speak the
"word of God" which builds faith and meditate on the truth that He shows us.
Faith comes by 'hearing and hearing, by the (rhema) word of God'. Then
as we grow in this faith, as Jesus, the Son of God, wants us to, we
will believe in Him; and as we rest in Him, we will have His peace which
passes all understanding and He will give us the desires of our heart.
Best wishes for Grace and the Peace of Jesus.
