Do NOT Be Afraid

Good Morning Everyone,

In these times, when the world seems chaotic, and
troubles seem compounded, there is one source
that does not change. Time in the presence of God.

But, people are spending more time, watching tv,
doing other things, being on the computer, than
spending time crying out to God, and reading his
word, refreshing their spirit with hope and strength
and needed release from burdens.

How then can we complain about being stressed,
fearful, unhappy, when we are not doing our part
to receive his peace?

This is a struggle for all of us. All of us have things
we do not know how to fix, deal with or sometimes even face.

They have to be faced with Faith. What we are unable to do,
God is aware of, and has plans for us. He sees our fear
and knows what is ahead for each country and each person.

Leaders will come and go, life passes for all of
us, but One is forever, His word will outlive us all,
and go forth and accomplish His will, and
nothing can stop it.

Do NOT fear what man can do to you. You are
connected to the God of the universe, you have
a choice to receive his peace, or dwell in your fear
and unrest. The meeting place is prayer,
the solution through prayer is leaving our burdens
at God's feet, and talking to him about the troubles of our heart.

If I could point out one of the biggest downfalls of the
christian community it is lack of time alone with God.
It is getting more prevalent. And even if you today,
went to one person and asked them how many HOURS
a week they spend with God you would find it rare.
This is so serious. It means we are putting everything else
BEFORE God, and getting worn down spiritually, feeling
helpless and unable to face things with the courage
and strength and infusion of hope that comes with time
with Christ.

HOPE DOES NOT COME FROM MEN.
Hope comes from GOD.

Never forget this!! Keep your focus on him.
I have written some powerful verses below.
Print them out. Memorize them all. Plant them
in your spirit. Speak them out loud. Believe them,
live them, and find hope in them.

GOD IS IN CONTROL. Jesus said we would face
these things... he said fear not for he had Overcome
the world. He knows what is ahead and he will be with
us through it all. Cling to him.

ps. Fight the good fight of faith. Stand against the elements
that you know are evil, and pray about them constantly. Your prayers
set into force powerful spiritual weapons. Don't think you
are helpless. Our combined prayers are very powerful in the
spiritual realm. We are NOT hopeless or helpless. Our Father God
reigns above all men and their plans.

You will guard Him, and keep him in perfect and constant peace
whose mind (both its inclination and its character) is stayed
on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You and
hopes confidently in You.

Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on
thee, because he trusts in THEE).
Isaiah 26:3

Read these verses below and receive their concepts and
promises into your hearts:

For though the mountains should depart and be shaken
or removed, yet My Love and Kindness shall NOT depart
from you, nor shall My covenant of peace and completeness
be removed, says the Lord, Who has compassion on you.

You shall establish yourself on righteousness -- right,
in conformity with God's will and order; you shall be far
from even the thought of oppression and destruction, for you
shall NOT FEAR; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper,
and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment
you shall show to be in the wrong. This (peace,
righteousness, security, triumph over opposition) is the
heritage of the servants of the Lord (those in whom the
ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced).
Isaiah 54: 10, 14, 17

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall
remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty
(whose power no foe can withstand).
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, on Him I lean and rely, and IN Him I confidently trust.
Psalm 91:1-2

He will cover you with His pinions and under His wings shall
you trust and find refuge; His truth and HIS FAITHFULNESS
are a shield and a buckler. You shall not be afraid of the
terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and
slanders of the wicked) that flies by day. Nor of the pestilence
that stalks in the darkness, Nor of the destruction and
sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your
right hand, but it SHALL NOT COME NEAR YOU.
Because you have MADE the Lord YOUR REFUGE, and
the Most High YOUR DWELLING PLACE.
Psalm 91:4-6, 9

Just walk in faith, trusting in God. Just give it to Him, and let
it go, and let Him work it out, and find comfort in Him. Right
now. Take time to talk to Him, right now, say a prayer
and receive the gift of faith and hope, and strength, and
comfort and joy. Receive it. Rebuke the fear. Rebuke the
despair, cast them out and receive a spirit of joy.



No matter what we face, we will not face it alone or powerless. God will provide. Rest in that.
