Fear

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."
Luke 21:26


"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"
Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 9:10

"Perfect Love casts out all fear."
1John 4:18

He is my defense; I will not be afraid"

"The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; of whom shall I fear?"
Psalm 27:1-2

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power."
Eph.6:10


As we survey the world we live in today we can see the beginnings of the "birth pains" that our Lord Jesus foretold to us. Upheaval across the world, tumultuous events, wars, financial disaster, strange weather and natural disasters of unprecedented magnitude, shaking and breaking, people mocking God, Christians being persecuted, the exclusion of God from public places and events (at least until something like 9/11 happens)... It is easy to see why and how those who are immersed in the worldly system are trevailing and fearful as man made system collapse, and as things prophesied in GOD'S Holy Word are being fulfilled.

But beloved, we are not to be afraid! The Word tells us DO NOT FEAR, that the righteous are to be bold as lions, to run and not grow weary! Every single event that takes place, is another piece of the puzzle being dropped in place, it is time to look up - His return- and our redemption are coming, even perhaps in this generation. Remember that the scriptures tell us -He is not slow in coming, but only delaying, so in giving those who are asleep, and those who are dead in the sins an opportunity to come back to the Father, while there is time.
We should live our lives in supernatural boldness, walking out our destinies without shrinking back, our ultimate futures and victory-assured.
Fear not.
