Fear Not

During times like these, it’s easy to fall into fear about the unknown, but God’s word tells us to “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Now many of you just can’t help yourself because you have been placed in a situation that is all new to you and because it is unknown territory, you allow your mind to lead you to what God said don’t do. When your mind takes you to that place of fear, you must pray, pick up the word of God and start reading scriptures like “All things work together for those who love the Lord and are called according to HIS purpose.” So no matter what is in the unknown, it is going to work out on your behalf.

You should pray and read scriptures like “ Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go.” These times of uncertainty is when your faith should kick in and not fear, because the Master has basically said no matter what comes, I am with you all the way.

These unknown times are times when you must lean not to your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and trust Him. You must believe that since He has never failed you, why would He start now. You must pray and rely on scriptures that say “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me.”

With God’s protection you are covered. You must read scriptures like “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” So you must remember if you are feeling fear, that didn’t come from the Father. It is coming from the enemy and we don’t want Him controlling our thoughts because that will end to nothing but us sinning against the God who we are asking to protect us.

Watch it children of God. I know you are in a time of uncertainty, but our God reigns now and forever more, so set your mind on things above and not on earthly things because you should know that your life is with Him because you died when you chose Him.  So let’s read more of His word and pray without ceasing in uncertain times so our enemy will not make us sin against the Savior who we are asking to cover us with His precious blood.
