Fear Not... Fear Not... Fear Not... -- Be careful...Say it enough times you might start to believe it. lol
So, have you ever really read Isaiah 41:10? I mean really READ it-- like absorb it?
Let's read it together in some different versions::
(this is the NCV) So don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you.
(this is the Amplified Version) Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.
Do you notice the common factor here?
- God doesn't want us to worry
- God doesn't want us to be afraid
- He supports us and strengthens us
- God helps us
God is for you and not against you-- so in the words of my amazing hubby..."Sometimes we think that when bad stuff happens that God has abandoned us. But He fights for us and no weapon formed against us shall prosper! The devil ISN'T successful in his attacks even though they still trip us up and we still feel the effects!"
I heard something from Joyce Meyer the other day, She said that just because you "feel" fear doesn't mean that you are afraid!! I found that completely amazing when I heard her say this!! All this time- my whole life after being saved in 2006- I felt that I was always been taught-- "ohhhhh you can't fear!! NONONO you are giving into the devil if you fear-- fear is a sign of weakness-- NONONO" ... and so can a get a YAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYYYYY that is FAR FAR from the truth!!!!
Fear is NOT a sign of weakness!! (Matthew 17 -hang onto that mustard seed!- It's may be small- but it's all u need)
I hope today's blog helped a bit in your life :)
Take care of you :)
