DEAR GOD: Fear is Not an Option For we Have God~

 

 

Isaiah 41:10-13 (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. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

 

A Pastor this morning was addressing fear, perfect timing for what’s happening right now.

God, is our peace and He tells us “fear not” or “be not afraid” — depending on the version of the Bible in which you read. But the argument is that it is mentioned in the Bible 365 times. This argument  has been debated.  However the point is…God is telling us and assuring us of His promises, that He is with us, and not to be “afraid” and not to “fear.”

When we are filled with faith, and trust Him unconditionally (Proverbs 3:5-8)

He guides our paths, and nourishes our souls, bringing about great emotional, and spiritual health.(Proverbs 3:5-8)

God has a plan for us and as long as we allow “fear” to dominate our lives, we can’t become the person God intended for us to be, according to His will.

Fear can cause all kinds of disorders, “stress, stomach issues, emotional upheavals” and the whole concept of living can be put on “hold” when we allow fear to creep into our lives and mind.

Why should we fear?  After all God didn’t make a spirit of fear. (2 Timothy 1:7)

We are created in perfect love. ( 1 John 4:18)

God loves you.

God loves me.

God loves us.

And what He said all those years ago is STILL TRUE!

So, accept God’s truth.

He is our God and He will help us and He will uphold us and He will strengthen us and hold us up with His righteous right hand!!  

When you feel that “feeling creeping in” give it to God and lay it down on the basis of who He is and what He is.

Let go of that fear, and give it to Him.

Because through Christ, we are victorious and “greater is the One in us than the one in the world.” (1 John 4:4) 

“Father God I have nothing to fear for You are with me always, and You have promised to hold me up, and hold and guide me, and bring me peace, I’m victorious through You, and I thank You for Your love, promises and Your Word, in Jesus name, Amen.”
