Fearing What THEY Fear



 FEARING WHAT THEY FEAR

 

Isaiah 8:12-14 The Passion Translation states:

“Don’t believe their every conspiracy rumor. 

And don’t fear what they fear — 

don’t be moved or terrified. 

Fear nothing and no one except Yahweh,

Commander of Angel Armies!”

 

 

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 

 

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 

 

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 

 

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: 

his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 

 

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; 

 

nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 

 

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; 

 

nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 

 

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; 

 

but it shall not come nigh thee. 

 

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 

 

Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 

 

There shall no evil befall thee, 

 

neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”  

 

(Psalm 91:1-10)

 

 

 

The phrase, “FEAR NOT”, is used 365 times in the Bible. 

            … I wonder why?

                     Do you suppose we should remember that daily?

 

 

“In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.”  (Ps56:11)

 

 

“He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.” (Ps62:6)

 

 

“Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard…” (2Ki19:6)

 

 

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”  (Josh1:9)

 

 

“He will not fear evil tidings;

His heart is steadfast, 

trusting in the Lord.

His heart is upheld, 

he will not fear...” (Ps112:6-8)

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
