    based on 1 rating

    Fear is real and there are many situations that disturb us and create a sense of fear in our hearts. If we recognize that God is our shield, and put our faith in Him, all our fears are annulled and will be replaced with courage and peace.

    We read in Genesis 15:1, Later the LORD spoke his word to Abram in a vision. He said, "Abram, don't be afraid. I am your shield. Your reward will be very great." (GW) God knows our name There were certain events that transpired in Abram’s life that left him with a sense of fear and ...read more

    Cowardice keeps us from a relationship with God. Rekindle God’s gifts: power to make a difference, love that stays by those in need, and self-discipline to choose a lifestyle of ministry. Luther Rice Memorial Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD

    This book was written to encourage the Israelites in their most difficult hour. But it is also designed to encourage each of us, no matter how dead or lifeless your present situation appears to be, there is still hope for the future. God knows how to strengthen you.

    God has an answer for the dead situations of life. Because God’s presence there is hope for the future. There seems to be common knowledge that God’s people need to experience the abundant life that Jesus came to bring in a greater measure. No matter what denomination, independent or traditional, ...read more
