Fear Not

Carol Gonterman

Recently the Lord spoke these words to me:

“I am with you, do not be afraid!  I am saying, “Peace be still to your restless heart.

I will never leave you nor forsake you no matter what happens.  Let this soak into your heart and mind, until you overflow with joy.  When the earth gives way and earthquakes and mountains fall into the sea, do not fear!”

The news media is always proclaiming bad news.  A steady diet of this breakfast, lunch and dinner will sicken you.  Be careful of what and who you’re focusing on.  Instead of watching the same negative broadcasts, choose life-giving programs.

Tune into the Living Word—to the One that is always the same.  Let God’s Word fill your mind and heart like a sponge, and you will walk along the path of Life.

We don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but we can be sure of one ultimate destination.  God says, “I will hold you by your right hand, and after all is said and done, I will take you home to Glory!”  Imagine that!

Jesus spoke, He said to the sea, “Peace be still”, and there was a great calm.

Mark 4:39-40 NKJV – “Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”

Deuteronomy 31:6 – “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Think about that!  God literally goes with you wherever you go.  Don’t be afraid or terrified, He will never leave you or forsake you!

Psalm 46:1-2 –“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;…”

We will not fear even if earthquakes come and the mountains fall into the sea!

Declare, decree and rely on the truth of these words and God’s faithfulness.  Turn your thoughts to these promises when fearful thoughts begin to hit your mind.

The Almighty, All Powerful God is with you and for you.  He is greater than any circumstance that comes into your life.

Fear does not belong to you!  Power, love and a sound mind has been given to us by our Lord.

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

Psalm 73:23-24 NKJV – “Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.

Thank you, Lord, for always being with me, and for holding me by my right hand.  You guide me with your counsel and after that you will take me to Glory!
