Happy Monday Morning Friends! It’s March and I am looking forward to Spring, the future, and all the good things that God has for me and for you! One of those good things God has for you , is living Fear-Free, free from the lie that you have to live with fear!
I know many have experienced all kinds of fear from the enemy and even from people at times. Today, I want you to be encouraged that “you can let go of fear”. Fear only has torment, and it is meant holds us back from what God has planned for us. I know, I’ve been there, but I also know what it’s like to experience the freedom from fear!
The Good News today, is you can experience this freedom also! There are many reasons and many things that tries to cause us to fear, but none of those reasons or things come from God. So much of the time, we just don’t believe that God is stronger and mightier than whatever it is we are going through.
All throughout the Bible, both old and new covenant God has told us and reminded us over and over again and again ”Do Not Fear”, “Fear Not”. God is simply stating His Fact – No More Fear For You!
Fear is a Reaction – Courage is a Choice!
- John 14:27 – 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
- 2 Timothy 1:7 – 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
- Isaiah 41:13 – For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’
Many are fearful about your children, but God has a promise for that also. God will bring you children back, so stop fearing about it and hear what God is saying to you about them and come into agreement with Him. See them how God sees them.
- Isaiah 43:5 – Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west;
- Isaiah 41:10 – Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
I love this next verse because He tells us we can be strong and have good courage, and that we don’t have to be afraid of “them”. Who is them? Anything that is trying to cause fear and or anxiety in your heart. Your God is with you everywhere you go, and in everything you do, He has promised to always be with you! Do you believe that?
- Deuteronomy 31:6 – 6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
- Mark 5:36 – 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe”. (even in the face of death, Jesus told the Ruler don’t let fear talk to you and change your mind but believe the words that I have said to you).
Are you afraid of what others might say to you or think about you when you take a stand against fear. Read the following verse: You are the righteous one and the one who has God’s Word in your heart. You have nothing to fear!
Isaiah 51:7 – “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, You people in whose heart is My law: Do not fear the reproach of men, Nor be afraid of their insults.
Hebrews 2:14-15 – Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Isaiah 35:4 – Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.”
The above verse is amazing because it is a promised fulfilled. Jesus has already come with a vengeance against the evil in this world and has already saved you, so you do not need to be “fearful-hearted” anymore.
Luke 12:32 – 32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 12:32 TPT – So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom with all its promises!
I saved this verse for last. This has brought peace to my heart every time I have read it. Jesus wants us to know that the Father is overjoyed and takes pleasure in giving us everything that is in His Kingdom, and there is not one iota of fear in His Kingdom, so you can let go of the fear that has snuck into your life and replace it with all the promises in every one of the scriptures in this devotional.
Remember, you are Loved, you are Righteous, and you are His!
