Fear Not; Stand!
Dearly beloved of God, circumstances may change, but God our Father does not change. We walk with Him by believing, not by being afraid.
God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of sober thinking. God's Word to us is always, "Fear Not!" Why? Because He is with us and for us; He will never desert us or leave us alone.
If we choose to walk with God by believing Him at His Word and we face our Goliaths as David faced his, we will be more than conquerors through him that loved us.
If we make the decision not to bow to an idol because of the king's commandment even if we are thrown in the burning fiery furnace like Shadrak, Meshach, or Nebednego, God our Father will be with us and for us as He was with them. He will deliver us.
If we refuse to stop praying to our God and are thrown in the lions den because of political persecution by evil men like Daniel was, God our Father will be with us and for us as He was with him. He will deliver us. Beloved, we worship the same God as Daniel did and He does not respect one person above another; He respects those who believe Him.
If we believe His revelation to us even if we face staggering odds against us like Gideon did, He will deliver us as He delivered Gideon. Our God is faithful.
He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world. All the resources of heaven back us up when we do the will of God. No enemy formed against us shall prosper. Our God has the resources and He is willing to employ them for our deliverance.
I pray that God would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His spirit in the inner man. God our Father is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
Never allow fear to rule you; we walk with the One True and Living God by taking Him at His Word.
God our Father is the One that gave us access to the throne of grace by the new birth spirit, and He exhorts us to use it with boldness and confidence. The All Powerful One that backs up His Word. He is our Delivering God regardless of the enemy we may face.
God told Joshua to be strong and courageous.; be not afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with you withersoever you go. Arise and cross your Jordan as Joshua and the children of Israel crossed theirs; theirs was at flood stage when they dared to go over at God's command.
Why sit we here until we die? Arise and like all the saints before us arose and walked on God's Word! Fear not!
The spirit from the God that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us! He will deliver us the same as He delivered all those who came before us. He always delivers those who follow Him and obey His voice. He has not changed. He is the same God today as He was for those who came before us.
Yes, dearly beloved; God's Word to us is always "Fear Not!" Why? Because God our Father is with us and for us, and if God is for us, who can be against us? Fear not!
