Do NOT Fear

Love overcomes and casts out fear. Our God IS LOVE. So why do we ever fear?

Join us as we discover the amazing love of our God and enter into an agreement with the courage, strength, and authority that He has laid before us!

Faith Over Fear

God has not given us a spirit of fear. 

• “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”—2 Timothy 1:7

Neither has He chosen for us to walk in bondage. Lack. Uncertainty.

Yeshua has PAID the price for our freedom! His LOVE being more than enough!

We should therefore have faith instead of fear? After all, God’s love is perfect, and perfect love casts out all fear. 

The price has been paid for our salvation. Our wholeness. Provision. And in God, in all His promises, we should therefore have certainty… faith.

So why do we still have fear? Do we honestly believe that God makes mistakes? Or that our mistakes can somehow foil God’s plans? 

God DESIGNED us. CREATED us. MADE us. And He is perfect…

Obviously, we have allowed imperfection in, but we are made in GOD’S IMAGE! We have salvation through the sacrifice, resurrection, and blood of Yeshua! There is nothing about us which will surprise or stymie God…

He knows everything. He knew us before we were even in our mother’s womb. He loves us with an everlasting love. And He is ALL-POWERFUL… 

There is nothing we can do to overwhelm or stop God. Yes, we do have free-will, we do make choices. And good and bad decisions both have results. But God is in control! If we seek out His will for our lives, if we love Him, if the desire of our heart is to do what is in HIS HEART… what will be able to destroy God’s will? What will be able to separate us from God or His love?

“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

—Romans 8:38-39

With all of the truth and love of God we can walk BOLDLY in FAITH! We can rid ourselves of fear through the perfect love of our God!

“He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”

—1 John 4:8

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”

—1 John 4:18

Agree With God’s Promises and Scripture

From one end of God’s Word to the other, there are promises and scriptures that give us understanding of who God is and who we are in Him—each of us designed in His image. We need to stand on these promises and Scriptures. We need to come into agreement with them. We need to meditate on them until we so believe them, that they are a part of us—just as they are a part of God, who is the Word.

God gave us these words because we need them. God gave them because they are a part of who He is. And He gave them because we are made in His image—and they are meant to be a part of us just as they are a part of Him.

Moses AND God had to remind Joshua to be strong, of good courage, and even to go into his promise.

King David had to tell his son Solomon to be strong, of good courage, and to do what the Lord charged him to do.

God had His angel proclaim the truth of who Gideon was to him—mighty, valiant—even when Gideon could not see that in himself.

Over and over again, there are examples of God’s truth being spoken into His people. Of what He knew they were created to be and do, even when they or others might not have seen it.

God sees the potential and purpose in us that we ourselves often do not see, or only see in part. His view of who we are and will be is not hindered by fear, or doubt, or hurt. He does not see dimly as through a mirror. His vision is better than 20/20; it is flawless and beyond space or time. 

When we accept His view of ourselves, we are able to cast off fear, walking in His amazing love!

Let us read and come into agreement with these promises of the Lord, with His Word that will impart not only who HE IS, but who WE ARE:

By coming into agreement with these promises and truths we are able to fear not! To fix our eyes on God; who HE is, as well as who WE are in Him. We are able to cast out what is not of the Lord—fear—and step into His love, walking in faith and boldness!

Your journey in God’s Word does not end here, however. There are MANY more scriptures that remind us of who God is, who we are in Him, and biblical truths regarding casting out fear! 

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
