Today’s devotion is entitled: Bye, Bye Fear! You’re not Welcome Here
Before we begin let us have a moment of prayer:
Dear heavenly Father, we know that you have not given us the spirit of fear or anxiety of the things of this world, help those Father who are struggling with fear and anxiety in their daily lives. Help them to remember, Father that you are and will always be on the Throne watching and protecting your children. Let them remember, Father, that everything that happens in life is done only according to your Word and according to your Will. For you are a Sovereign God, for nothing is done that has not already been orchestrated through you. Let those who have the spirit of fear and anxiety, after hearing this message, rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety, and start living with the understanding and knowledge that you will never forsake us, nor leave us. Let them know that you will always be there Father through sickness and in health. Give them the faith, Father, to walk according to your Will, and to also remember, that the fear of the Lord, the creator is the only fear that we should have. For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, in Yeshua’s name we pray. Amen.
We are going to open with Psalm 23. (Please read)
Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”
We all at some point and time have something in our lives that we fear; whether it is a fear of certain animals, fear of the ocean, fear of flying, fear of heights, or the fear of enclosed places; we all at some point and time in our lives have had the spirit of fear and anxiety. However, for faithful followers of Yeshua/Jesus Christ, fear and anxiety have no place in our lives.
II Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
Fear of Man/Fear of the Enemy
Let’s face it. We are living in a world without peace. If we take a moment and just think about the times we are living in, a lot of us, are being verbally threatened on a daily basis. Some receive threats of wage garnishment, repossessions, or poor ratings on our credit report. Some are worried about lay-offs or termination from their employment. Some are worried about their social security checks, or welfare checks not being in the mail. Some are living paycheck to paycheck worried about their next meal.
We are living in a day and age where nothing is certain. However, Yeshua/Jesus Christ says, “…Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?...” Matthew 6:25-34.
When we seek the kingdom, Yeshua/Jesus Christ will provide everything that we need. All we have to do is have faith and fear not. Don’t worry about tomorrow, for you can’t change tomorrow. Don’t worry about where the funds are going to come from for your child’s education, or that hospital bill, Yeshua/Jesus Christ will make a Way, if it is His Will for your child to even go to college at this time, He will provide a way. Don’t worry about your past financial mistakes, if you have repented, He has forgiven those debts and will provide a remedy for you. And once He has provided that remedy, we are to turn away from making those mistakes again.
Philippians 4:19, “For my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Our Father has given us much power, we have the power to tread on serpents as it is written in Luke 10:19 , when our brother Yeshua/Jesus Christ said, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” We have power. Therefore, there is no need to fear the enemy, especially the enemy.
Hebrews 13:6 reads, “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” For we should never ever fear what man can do. For man does not have the power to destroy the soul. He may destroy our credit, he may take away or destroy our homes; he may take away or destroy our vehicles; he may take away our jobs, even take away our food. But man cannot and will never destroy our soul nor can he take away or destroy our comforter which is the Holy Spirit. He can never take that away from us.
Fear of the End Times
Some of you, who have the spirit of discernment or the spirit of prophecy, have been afraid of these days ahead. For you know in your heart, mind, body and soul, that we are in the last days, and this nation is going to experience much sorrow, and much grief, in such that it has never experienced before, nor will it ever experience again. But know and believe that our Father is going to protect His elect and saints. There is nothing to fear, for our Father has not appointed His children to wrath. As it is written in I Thessalonians 5:9. He will either guide you through these coming days, as He did for Noah and his family; or He will send His angels to lead you out of harms way, as He did for Lot and his family, in Genesis 19.
For those of you who are experiencing fear, meditate on our Father’s Word and memorize the scriptures, for there is healing and comfort in our Father’s Word.
- David may have had fear when he fought Goliath; but he persevered and won the battle.
- Joseph may have had fear when he was sold into slavery, but he was obedient to the Father, and found favor with the Pharaoh. And Pharaoh made Joseph ruler over all the
- Daniel may have had fear in the Lion’s den; however, he prayed and overcame.
- Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, may have had fear when thrown into a fiery furnace; but they were faithful servants, and three went in the fire but four came out, and the fourth was like the Son of God.
- With our Father, one can chase a thousand, and two can put ten thousand to flight. Because where ever our Father is, you and Him will always make the majority.
Some of you are experiencing health issues. Fear not, Jehovah Raphah, our healer if it is His will, He will heal you. Know matter what the doctor says our Father is the “Master Physician” He decides who gets healed and who doesn’t get healed. He decides the fate of every individual on this planet. Put your trust in Him and not in man. Not in the x-ray or in the diagnosis. And don’t worry, our Father is in control.
He is our healer, Jehovah Raphah; He is our provider, Jehovah Jireh; He is our victory, Jehovah Nissi; He is our shepherd, Jehovah Rohi; He never leaves our side, Jehovah Shammah, He is always there watching you and protecting you all you have to do is open the door and let Him in. That’s al you have to do, there is no need to fear tomorrow. Just trust in the Father and our Lord Yeshua/Jesus Christ and everything will work out for the better.
Closing
Now we’re going to close with Psalm Chapter 91 please read along in your Bible if you have it with you. “He that dwelleth…”
That was the end of the chapter, may the good heavenly Father, bless you all, and remember our Father is not the author of fear. Blessed be His name. Amen.
Please take this time for the remainder of this devotion to meditate and repent for all of the sins that you have committed, both knowingly and unknowingly, asking our Father to forgive all sins…in Yeshua’s name. Hallelujah. Amen.
