Do Not Fear

I asked the Holy Spirit about what He wanted to write on Sermon central. And I heard this in my spirit, do not fear and i got excited about this topic. In this times that we are in so many are actually living in fear. Fear of today, fear of tomorrow and just having a fearful heart. And it's no surprise because there is so many things going on in our world today that is causing a lot of things to change.

But the good news is that God as not giving us all a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind- 2 Timothy 1:7. God said it and we need to believe and trust in what He as said.

Let's remember that God created us all in His own image and likeness - Genesis 1:26-27. And since we are created by God we have all of His nature in us and God's nature or attributes does not come with fear.

We have God Himself living us in according to the book of 1 Corinthians 3:16. The God that created us lives in us as we become His children and focusing on this truth will take away fear from our lives in this difficult times. God loves us so much that He had to send His Son to this realm- John 3:16 and His purpose for doing this is so that we do not live in fear but live in the freedom that Jesus died for us for.

God is faithful to His promises and He is not a God that will lie to the children that He loves.

He said in the following books in the bible:

2 Timothy 2:13

If we are faithless,

He remains faithful;

He cannot deny Himself.

Romans 3:4

Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written:

“That You may be justified in Your words,

And may overcome when You are judged.

Numbers 23:19

God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good?

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).

God does not change , He is God and there is no lie in Him. Also He is able to help us from having that fear that wants to come and steal from us. The work of the Satan throughout the ages is to lie to us by making us to believe that God is not able to do what He as said to us In His word. The word of God says that Satan comes to do this three things, He comes to steal, kill and destroy - John 10:10.

The purpose of Satan is to destroy the plan of God for us in our lives and this is the reason why we need the word of God in us and to believe in what God says about us. God said this to one of His servants in the book of Joshua 1:8.

God said to Joshua.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

The word of God is true and according to His word, God said this in John 8:32 that "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Jesus said to us that to live here on earth we need someone to help us, and that He would send the Helper into our lives, to help us in our times of trials. The following scriptures declares this truth about the Holy Spirit as our Helper:

John 14: 15-18

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever— the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you.

I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, bereaved, and helpless]; I will come [back] to you.

John 14:25-26

“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
