I would speak unto you today about fear. So many of you are allowing fear to encompass you, fear of the future, fear of failure, fear of poverty, fear of losing your material possessions, fear of sickness and disease, fear of the unknown. Beloved, you know that fear is not of Me, you know that it is the enemy who brings fear into your hearts, endeavoring to cause you to lose your trust in Me. Renounce all fear and enter into battle with the enemy and see him flee from you.
Replace all fear in your hearts by faith and increase your faith through the Word. Steep yourselves in My Word and see all fear go from you, to be replaced by faith and trust in Me to care for you. Let us examine what My Word says about fear....
THE FEAR OF MAN BRINGS A SNARE, BUT WHOEVER TRUSTS IN THE LORD SHALL BE SAFE. (Prov. 29:25)
Do not be fearful of what man can do to you.
SAY TO THOSE WHO ARE FEARFUL-HEARTED, BE STRONG, DO NOT FEAR! BEHOLD, YOUR GOD WILL COME WITH VENGEANCE, WITH THE RECOMPENSE OF GOD; HE WILL COME AND SAVE YOU. (Isa. 35:4)
Be strong, My people, and do not fear for I will save you from all harm.
FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU, YES, I WILL HELP YOU, I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND. (Isa. 41:10)
My little ones, I tell you, I am always with you, strengthening you, helping you over every hurdle that you encounter so you have no need to fear.
FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND. (2 Tim. 1:7)
I never intended for My beloved people to walk in fear so you have not received a spirit of fear. My desire is that you walk in power and in love and that you have a sound mind and so I gave you these qualities and I desire that you use them in your walk with Me.
O My people, I see the fearful events taking place in your world and I can understand your fears but I desire that you remember that I am in control of all things in the world. Yes, I could, in an instant, cause wars to cease, control all weather patterns that cause such havoc, cause famines to cease and all peoples have enough, cause all sicknesses to be healed. I could bring total peace in your world but were I to do so would you turn to Me?, would you desire to study My Word?, would you seek Me in prayer?, would you walk in My ways?.
I tell you, My people, I did not bring these devastations upon you but I have allowed them to happen as part of the shaking of your world, as foretold in the Scriptures and as a result multitudes are coming to know Me as their Savior. Also foretold in My Word are tribulations yet to come...
FOR NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION, AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM. AND THERE WILL BE FAMINES, PESTILENCES, AND EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS PLACES. (Matt. 24:7)
O My people, you need to be prepared for these tribulation times, especially in your spiritual walk. Do not allow sin to come into your lives and if you commit sins, confess them and receive forgiveness. Try to owe no man anything and become free of debt. Free yourselves as much as possible from the amenities of the world and learn to trust only in Me.
I am coming soon to gather up My people and take them to heaven to be with Me there. Are you destined to be in this number? Seek Me, My people, with all of your hearts and I will direct you in your preparation for that day.
AND THEN HE WILL SEND HIS ANGELS, AND GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS, FROM THE FARTHEST PART OF EARTH TO THE FARTHEST PART OF HEAVEN. (Mark 13:27)
BUT OF THAT DAY AND HOUR NO ONE KNOWS, NEITHER THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN, NOR THE SON, BUT ONLY THE FATHER. TAKE HEED, WATCH AND PRAY; FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE TIME IS. (Mark 13:32,33)
Do not fear, My little ones, for I am with you, protecting you from harm and guiding your path. Continue to serve Me in the ministries I have given you and you shall see multitudes come into My kingdom.
