1 Timothy 6:20 20 "Guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge,"
Isaiah 41:10
"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."
1 Corinthians 3:18
"18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise."
Fearful people act in ways that devalue the ways of God. They are so much in protection mode that everything they do and say is based on that fear that is ever-present.
When we are not fearful we are fearless, meaning we can move forward in obedience to God whether or not anyone supports us. We have no need to force others into submission or intimidate them because we are secure in the Lord.
When we find ourselves becoming insecure and beginning to fear things in life, the Holy Spirit brings us back to reality and back to confidence in His protection.
We need not fear anything in life when we know all things have a purpose and Christ goes through with us.
There are things that are overwhelmingly frightening, I get that, been there a few times too, but if we pray our way through eventually the fear diminishes even leaves and we can become stronger than we were before.
Never be ashamed that you have feared at times, only be concerned if that fear turns into debilitating worry that pushed communication with God out of our life.
Our first response to our fear is to seek God in the name of Jesus Christ, for His help to get through.
Matthew 7:7-8 " 7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.…"
Ask in the will of God and He will not ignore us. If we do not know what His will is then we must ask for Him to do His will even if we don't understand it.
Romans 8:28
"28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
I am so grateful to God that Christ lives in me and that He is accessible every moment of my life. So many times He has been there for me when no one else was or could be. He is my best friend. Hallelujah!
John 15:15 "
No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you."
