Fear not

Lamentations 3:57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

Isaiah 35:4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.

Stop living in Fear!

Fear= Bondage   It is time to break the chains of fear. Today begin to reprogram your mind to think Faith over fear.

It is a conscious choice. Turn to the Holy Spirit for guidance. 

Isaiah 41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Fear is a powerful motivator used by the enemy in many ways. Fear will cause you to make rash emotion-based decisions.
Fear of failure
Fear of loneliness
Fear of hurt or pain
Fear of death

Isaiah 43:1But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.5Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. 8Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.99Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

We should fear no one or nothing only our Creator.

Joel 2:21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.

Zechariah 8:13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

Fervent Faith

In reading Daniel 3, and its continuation in The Song of the Three Holy Children (in the Apocrypha), our Creator and Father’s character is fully displayed – righteous judgment and mercy!  Included in this story are profound truths of deliverance and redemption for us even today IN THE VERY MIDST of our own fires of tribulation and trial.  May we remember and display this same fervent faith!

1)       Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego praised and blessed the Most High IN THE MIDST of the fire. (Song of Three Holy Children 1:1)

2)      They acknowledged His righteous judgment for the people’s disobedience to His commandments IN THE MIDST of the fire. (SOTHC 1:8)

NOTE:  They did not just confess their own sins but the sins of the people as a whole.  This also includes the sins of the forefathers before them.

3)      They asked the Most High to remember His covenant with them and not wholly deliver them up, for His name’s sake, IN THE MIDST of the fire. (SOTHC 1:11)

4)      They offered up humble and contrite hearts of repentance instead of a sacrifice (they had no way to access an acceptable Levitical sacrifice) IN THE MIDST of the fire.  (SOTHC 1:15-16)

5)      They claimed that those who put their trust in the Most High will not be confounded IN THE MIDST of the fire. (SOTHC 1:17)

6)      They committed themselves to follow the Most High with their hearts, fear Him, and seek His face IN THE MIDST of the fire. (SOTHC 1:18)

7)      They requested the merciful deliverance of the Most High according to His wonderful lovingkindness and marvelous works – and to give glory to His name – IN THE MIDST of the fire. (SOTHC 19-20)

8)      They requested that He confound their enemies and show them that HE is the Most High and glorious over all the earth IN THE MIDST of the fire. (SOTHC 1:21-22)

9)      Then the Angel of the Most High came down and joined them IN THE MIDST of the fire and smote the flames and made it as if THE MIDST of the furnace was a moist whistling wind, and the fire did not touch them or hurt them or trouble them. (SOTHC 1:26-27)

10)   Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego continued to praise and bless and glorify the Most High IN THE MIDST of the quenched furnace. (SOTHC 1:28-68)

Glory, honor, and praise be to our mighty God, King, and Savior!!

Don't get stuck

Genesis 19:26 “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” 

 Lots wife fell victim to the same fate many of the children of Israel fell victim to in the exodus. She got stuck looking back. Longing for the old days. The times when even though life was hard it didn't seem as difficult as waking forward in Faith. 

So many times in our lives the Father will show us that His way will turn out better for us then we could've ever come up with for ourselves, and yet we still doubt. Question. Fear.

 I challenge you today to let go of the past, adopt a kingdom mindset, and take that step of  faith.Choose to follow the Father wherever he leads and don't look back.

Luke 17: ³²Remember Lot's wife. ³³Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

The Joy of The Most High is my Strength

Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

When we are facing trials of our faith, trying to cling to joy seems like the farthest thing from our sensibilities. Being contrary to the ways of this world, and the thought process that goes with it, is a foundational concept to following The Most High. This world is corrupted and under sin. You must have an opposing way of doing things in order to follow Him. Facing trials and tests with Joy knowing that it is about refinement and growth is how you take joy in something that is hard and stressful.  When you think of the people who have accomplished great things they were NEVER the ones who stood with the crowd or went with the flow. Most often their lives looked COMPLETELY different then the lives of those around them.  

~Greatness requires diligence, discipline, commitment, and fortitude. Often you must find great passion and love in the end goal. The process will require sacrifice and commitment. That is why it is so important to focus on where you are trying to get to. 

~Fall in Love with The Father , His Son, and The Holy Spirit.~

~Search and seek out the path to  His glorious kingdom that is yet to come. ~

~Commit yourself to the process.~

Know that there are no accidents or mistakes with the Father only errors in judgement or misunderstanding on our part. If you find yourself out from the Fathers protection then make the necessary adjustments and return to the search for truth and the ancient paths that lead to the kingdom!

1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Psalms 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalms 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

 Romans 5:8 - But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
 
Ecclesiasticus 1:12 The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and giveth joy, and gladness, and a long life.
 
Lamentations 3:21This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

 Psalms 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
 
Psalms 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.  

Ecclesiasticus 28:2 Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto thee, so shall thy sins also be forgiven when thou prayest. 

 Psalms 90:14 - O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Psalms 5:3 - My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.

Increase my Faith

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

So you've escaped the trappings of modern religion. You have learned that there was far more in the scriptures then you ever thought possible. You have awoken to the level of deception perpetrated in modern society. You awoke. You made it out of Egypt, crossed the Red Sea, survived the tests of trusting The Most High for food and water and just when it seems you should be entering the promise land there will be a test. Will you be obedient when all the odds are stacked against you? Or will the Giants in your life cause you to become fearful and overwhelmed?

 Numbers 13:17-26 - Numbers 14:1-45

When something that should have only taken a couple months has turned into years. When you learn that For EVERY action there are consequences and it is time to pay those consequences. Where will your Faith be? Will, you stand up and trust that The Most High is able to help you overcome the Giants in your life or will you become fearful and distrustful? Will, you doubt The Most High or ask him to Increase your Faith?
Luke 17:5. Mark 4:40

 Mark 9:23 Yashaya said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24  And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

 Luke 18:8  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
