“But now, this is what the Lord says –He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel; “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am your Lord, your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Saviour; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead” Isaiah 43:1-3.
What a powerful prophecy from the Lord to you!! I encourage you to personalize it and claim it for you and your loved ones. God loves you so much and He cares about every detail concerning you. He is forever faithful and as you allow Him to continue to live in you, fear will be eliminated from your life.
Where God is, fear has no leg to stand on; it disappears completely. So, be rest assured that God is in charge of every situation you are facing. God has redeemed you, that is, He has bought you with the precious Blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.
When you confess the Word of God, eat it, chew it, swallow and digest it daily; you will be completely set free from fear. You will then be able to be what God has called you to be, to His own Glory.
DO NOT BE AFRAID
In the English dictionary, fear is defined as “an unpleasant emotion excited by danger, pain etc, or to be afraid or apprehensive”. But God is telling you, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you” Genesis 26:24b, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” Deut. 1:21b, “Don’t be afraid; just believe” Mark 5:36b
God is reassuring you that He is there beside you; so do not be afraid. Instead He wants you to make positive confessions in order to dispel fear.
“Surely, God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid” Isaiah 12:2a and “The lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:6b. “In God, whose Word I praise; in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? Psalm 56:4
In conclusion, the Bible says “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (fear) but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline” (or sound mind) 2Timothy 1:7. If God has not given you the spirit of fear, then there is absolutely no need to entertain that spirit. Instead, clothe yourself with power, love and sound mind. Once you determine to do this, Satan will not have any hold over you; he will not be able to arrest you and mess with your life.
I encourage you to enjoy the love of God and His faithfulness everyday, and His divine and perfect love will cast out fear. Amen
KEEP BASKING IN THE LORD AND ENJOY HIS PEACE
