The Holy Bible Is The Immutable Living
Word Of The Eternal God.
We
Recommend The King James / A.V. Bible, with most others, The Bible Is Used To Deceive .
All Of Our Rituals, Are An Abomination To
The Eternal God.
All Of Our
Festivals, Are An Abomination To The Eternal God.
All Of Our
Pagan Practices Are An
Abomination To The Eternal God.
The
Eternal God Is Not A Robotic Moron, On Whom We Make Demand,
And Whom We Obey, As We Like
And, When It Is Convenient To Us.
The
Eternal God Is Not A Robotic Moron, On Whom We Make
Demands.
He Is Our Living, Loving, Personal
Saviour. There Is No Other.
Christ Is The Solution To All Our
Problems. There Is No Other.

If This Verse Is Not In Your Bible, Your Bible
Is Corrupt.
Throw It Away.
You Have Been Deceived Into Serving Satan, the
god of this world.
Sincerity Is Not The
Issue. You can be sincere, and still be wrong.
To Live A Lie Is To Die. – It Is That Simple.
We
should all be sighing and crying about the sad state of our world.
Serving God’s Word
Breaking All Chains
Setting The Captives

Fear Not
Two of the greatest enemies that exist in the
world today are
Fear and its companion Anxious Thought.
These are important weapons in the armoury of the
deceiver.
Christ anticipated the issue of worry on many fronts,
and this is
His advice to us:
Matthew 6:25
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about
your life, what you will eat or what you will drink;
nor about your body, what you will put on.
Is not life more than food and the body more than
clothing?
Matthew 6:27
Which of
you by being over-anxious can add a single foot
to his height? (Weymouth)
Matthew 6:28
"So why do you worry about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:
they neither toil nor spin;
Matthew 6:31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What
shall we eat?’
or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own
trouble.
Matthew 10:19
"But
when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For
it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;
Today the message for you is fear not, do not be
afraid.
Do not be filled with anxious thought.
As Christians we have to accept the reality of true
position.
If we do we will not fear.
Matthew 28:20
and teach them to obey every command which I have given you. And
remember, I
am with you always, day by day,
until the Close of the Age." (Weymouth)
Remember that
those that are for you and with you, are more and stronger than those that are
against you. Any thought that tells you differently is not of God, and must be
forcefully and vocally rejected.
The Bible in Basic English
Proverbs
29:25 The fear of
man is a cause of danger:
but whoever
puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high.
I know of wives who fear their husbands, and
husbands who fear their wives. This fear thing goes right into the hearts of
the families.
The family becomes a war zone.
People fear the unknown.
People fear change, because they fear the
unknown.
There is the unknown, or there is perceived danger,
whether it is there
or not. There are also situations that are new to
us,
and we have no idea how to deal with them.
So many are persevering to be good Christians,
but at the same time think that they are not making
any progress.
The stagnation and confusion in the mind needs to be
overcome.
A transformation from caterpillar to butterfly is
required.
Romans
12:2 And be not
conformed to this world, but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
You are in the safest hands that exist, the hands of
God.
For us today the message is the same 'Fear
Not'.
Sometimes a woman who is battered by her husband
will stay
with him because she fears the unknown.
She prefers to suffer what she knows rather than
what she doesn't know.
People fear failure.
If you fail in public you will be embarrassed.
Our pride makes us concerned about what others might
think.
I knew one minister who was a competent pianist, but
hid the fact
from the congregation while the lone pianist
struggled.
His fear was that he would make a mistake in public.
People fear being alone.
How will I cope ?
2
Corinthians 12:9
And He (Christ) said unto
me,(Paul)
"My
grace is sufficient for you,
for My
strength is made perfect in weakness."
Most gladly
therefore will I glory rather in my infirmities,
that the
power of Christ may rest upon me.
God says My Grace is
sufficient for you.
I am not saying that these things are easy, but I am
showing our
true position with us in Christ, and Christ in us.
People fear death.
But your life is not over until God says that it is
over.
Never mind what the enemy says.
He is a liar.
The only solution is to walk by faith.
2 Corinthians 5:7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
It is not over when you feel that you cannot take
anymore.
We have to have faith and courage.
You will only know that you have both of these
qualities when you
are faced with real danger.
Until that time all you have is an intellectual
concept.
This will not enable you to get through the fires of
severe trial.
Zechariah 4:6
Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying,
This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel,
saying,
Not by
might, nor by power, but by my spirit,
says the LORD of hosts. {might: or, army}
Until that time you have to reject any thoughts of
death, and reject
the thoughts that are put into your mind by ‘The
spirit of Self Destruction’,
until you have accomplished what God has planned for
you
from the foundation of the world.
Ephesians
2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
unto good
works, which God hath beforehand ordained,
that we
should walk in them.
Weymouth Ephesians 2:10
For we are God’s own handiwork, created
in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined
us to practise.
We are unique individuals and specific plans were
laid down for each of us personally. You do not have to scheme to achieve or
worry how to keep your position or possessions.
Often the blessings you receive become a curse as
you worry about them.
No one else can do what you were made, and called to
do.
The works, and activities are not what we feel and
decide that we want
to do, but rather what the God-Head has prepared for
us in eternity past.
Scripture is clear about this.
The victory of Jesus Christ was against sin and
death.
We tend to ignore the victory over death, but it is
there.
We have to realise that death does not
correct or solve problems
any more than sleep does, although it is
necessary for good health.
Once we are saved, we can be certain that sooner
or later we will be perfected.
Romans
8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
has made me
free from the law of sin and death.
Sin and death are referred to as a law.
It takes a greater law to defeat a lesser law.
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
has defeated the law
of sin and death.
We are operating from a position of victory not that
of a victim.
People fear rejection by their peers.
We need to accept that in the eyes of God, we are
all equal.
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and
said,
Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons:
People fear that their true self will be
revealed.
They know that they are not the Proverbs 31 woman or man.
For those that do not know, that is a superman or
superwoman.
But, Who
is such a person?
The
conclusion of the matter is that we are basically all the same,
flesh
and blood.
We
are born, live and die.
The stages
are punctuated with different circumstances for each of us.
But
essentially we are the same, eating to live and so on.
People fear insecurity which results in
activity to promote:
Self-Preservation and Territorial Preservation which
in turn leads
to Control and Manipulation.
This hinders growth and the work of God and is also
an abomination to Him
Revelation 2:6 But this
thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds
of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
What were the Nicolaitans?
We have to look at the meaning of the word as there
was no such sect.
The word comes from two words,
niko, “to conquer”, and laos, “the people”, or
laity.”
People what to control and manipulate others due to
deep insecurity
and fear that they may be side lined by those who do
not toe the line.
They believe that their status,
and position is under threat even when it is
not.
Holding people in ‘fear’, is common to almost all
churches.
Any organisation that subtly promotes ‘fear’, is not
of the Eternal God,
but serves Satan.
It is easy to see that the churches do this, and the
governments do this.
One fear is quickly replaced by another.
It is actually hard to keep track of the latest
ramped up ‘fear’.
If your church has conditioned you to fear, obey the
command
of the Eternal God, to ‘Come out of her my people’.
Get out of it immediately.
It is worth noting that one person’s fears can
seriously affect others.
In such a case we are breaking the commandment which
tells us to ‘love one another’.
We need to be very careful and to think things
through.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard
another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my
people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins,
and that ye receive not of her
plagues.
Document: Come
Out Of Babylon – My People
This is not an intellectual request.
This is a direct command
Be assured that your sanity and your life can easily
be at stake.
Note the last part of the verse.
To disobey is to receive the plagues ordained for
Babylon.
They include death.
You do not need a ‘Priest’, ‘Pastor’, ‘Elder’,
‘Deacon’ or anyone at all
to be the go between you, and the Eternal God.
We have many documents on the Website that deal with
this.
This is the very cornerstone of the website,
Fear will also stifle, and destroy any
relationship whether
personal
or corporate.
A major cause of racism or prejudice is fear.
This can be the focus on any difference between two
people
or two groups.
Men v Women,
Fat People v Thin People
One Denomination v Another Denomination,
One Football Team v Another Football Team etc., etc.
In a survey on racism in the UK, it was a surprise
that there were more English people complaining about their treatment by the
Scots than blacks versus white. Many people of the same colour are separated by
tiny differences
in tones of colour and religion.
Fear is becoming widespread.
In the last days we are told nation will rise up
against nation.
The word
‘nation’ is translated from the Greek word ‘ethnos’
from which the word ‘ethnic’ comes.
1484 ethnos
{eth'-nos} AV - Gentiles 93, nation 64,
heathen 5, people 2; 164
1) a multitude
(whether of men or of beasts) associated or living together
2) a multitude
of individuals of the same nature or genus family
Christians are one such multitude, group and family.
The following verses combine nations, and heart attacks
in a single verse.
Luke
21:25 "And
there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon
and in the
stars; and upon the earth distress among nations,
with
perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring.
Luke
21:26 Men's
hearts will fail them for fear and for looking upon
those
things which are coming on the earth;
for the
powers of Heaven shall be shaken.
Revelation
17:15 And he said
unto me, "The waters which you saw,
where the
whore sits, are peoples and multitudes, and
nations and tongues.
It is exactly the same word used for nations in Luke and Revelation.
Previously, it seemed as if one country was warring
against another.
Today we are finding more and more what we call
civil war,
as one ethnic group tries to eliminate the other.
Many times because of different religious beliefs.
The Religious Spirit is working overtime.
The Religious Spirit is spreading fear, confusion
and war as it promotes
the killing of those who have different beliefs.
All this is done in the name of God.
We need to make a distinction between
‘Religion’ and ‘Christianity’.
Religion enslaves and kills people.
True Christianity frees and blesses people.
Christians can have a negative destructive
effect on others by their words.
If you do not know who you are,
and on what ground you are standing,
you can easily be filled with destructive doubt and
despair.
Suddenly your world might be torn down as you are
told that
you do not have the Holy Spirit.
Immediately your Eternal Salvation is brought into
question.
You fear and worry, and think am I lost?
You never thought that you were perfect,
but you did think that God was working with you,
transforming you slowly, but surely.
You know that you did some serious sins, but who
hasn’t ?
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;
Romans 5:12 Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men,
for that all
have sinned:
Your life is thrown into great doubt and confusion
which you cannot share
with anyone as you feel far too embarrassed at what
others might think.
So you proceed to live a lie, which in itself might
make you very ill.
You might be told that because you do not speak in
‘tongues’,
you do not have the ‘Holy Spirit’.
This is an outright lie.
A gift of speaking in one language, and being heard
in various other languages is of the Eternal God.
Unintelligible, repetitive babbling is of Satan.
You might be told directly or indirectly that you
might have committed
the unpardonable sin because of something that you
have or have not done.
You might be told that because you have not sent in
your tithes,
your salvation is in jeopardy.
Sadly many of us are held captive because of our
misplaced trust
in one who we regard as our minister, regardless of
the name or position
others have given them, or which they might even
have given themselves.
We believe that the minister is the professional,
after all he/she must know.
That is his/her job.
The result is that they have a hold over us.
This opens one up to being subtly brainwashed.
You can easily be convinced that these people who
are in positions
of ‘authority’ have some sort of exclusive direct
line to God,
which is unavailable to you.
If you part with some money, some will say some
special prayers for God’s
intervention on your behalf.
I dread to think what happens if your minister
does not particularly like you, or if you have no
money.
We must be aware that our relationship is not just a
God v Man relationship, but rather our Father in Heaven with his children.
Thus we are told to pray ‘Our Father’.
There are Spirits of poverty, hate, anger, jealousy,
on and on the list goes.
All with the potential to cause fear.
Satan often does not confront us with power as we probably
tend to expect.
Rather he seduces us with deception and fear.
Often in experience you can find that more people
are afraid of Satan than of God. Many, including Christians fear to speak about
Satan, it frightens them, they say.
Some churches get around this by saying that now
that we are Christians
we do not have to worry about Satan, as he is not
interested in Christians.
Nothing could be further than the truth.
Even more diabolically they react the same way to
any mention of the Holy Spirit, or Satan. They seem to equate the Holy Spirit
with Satan.
The enemy has deceived them so well.
They do not understand that the Father,
the Holy Spirit and Jesus are one in every possible
way.
They are in total agreement.
Our imagination plays havoc with us, as we
needlessly fear any and everything. We should not be fearful, but rather have
faith in God
because those that are with us are more and stronger
than those that are against us.
2
Kings 6:15 And when the servant of the man of God had risen early and gone forth,
behold, a host compassed the city both with horses and chariots .And his
servant said unto him, "Alas, my master!
What shall
we do?"
In
despair that is a question that we all can ask.
2
Kings 6:16 And he answered, "Fear not,
for
they that are with us are more than they that are with them."
2
Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed and said, "LORD, I pray you, open his eyes,
that he may
see. " And the LORD opened the eyes
of the
young man, and he saw; and behold,
the
mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
The mathematics in the bible do not work in the way
that you would use logic and reason to come to a
conclusion.
That is another very good reason not to fear.
Leviticus
26:8 And five of you shall chase a hundred,
and a
hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight;
and your
enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
This is neither an arithmetic nor geometric
progression.
Deuteronomy
32:30 How should one
chase a thousand,
and two put ten thousand to flight,
unless
their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
Even worse two should only also put 2,000 to flight
but they put 5 times the expected amount to flight.
Since when has God been limited by Mathematics or
anything at all ?
With God absolutely all things are possible.
And if you truly believe, all things are also
possible to you.
The soldiers of Israel were petrified by Goliath.
Yet David a mere youth blew him away with the power
of God, and a little stone. David did not run away in a panic he confronted the
evil in the name of the Lord.
This is not simply a nice story.
It is a great spiritual lesson for us when we are
confronting
situations that are far above our ability.
When God intervenes against the Philistines in your
life,
they will die, and flee just like the Philistines
did when Goliath was killed.
There are Christian websites selling little, I
imagine gadgets which
they claim can do almost everything.
They can negate the effects of Chemtrails, and an
enormous list of negative things, including protect, and prevent demonic
attack, aliens, various evils, and sicknesses from attacking you.
We have now reached the point that a device which is
worth a few dollars
can replace the Eternal God.
It is utterly absurd.
This ‘Christian Ministry’ is marketing
products based on earning money based on fear.
Fear is a big money spinner.
These devices start off quite inexpensively and have
different strengths.
The more you pay the more powerful the device.
The Orgone key.
You will find more of the details if you wish to see more details.

When God says
"Fear
Not" or “Be Not Afraid” it is not
just a cliché or platitude.
‘Fear not’,
is a command.
There are countless examples, and reasons why we
should fear not.
Noah took 120 years to diligently build the ark but
it was not his
workmanship that preserved the ark and its contents.
It was the covering, the atonement of God, and the
protection of God that did that.
In an upheaval of nature that has never taken place
again, and which makes any hurricane seem like child's play, all in the ark
were protected.
No man made vessel would survive, forty days of
continual rain with water also violently breaking out of the underground
reservoirs.
Consider, if we have just one inch of rain for just
a few hours we are in deep trouble, with severe flooding.
Imagine inches per hour every hour for 40 days and
nights.
It is your faith in God that you have to look
to and not any activity that you can do.
To fear something is to give it the authority
for it to take place.
This is precisely what happened to Job.
It was not just any old problem that happened to
befall him, far from it.
What befell him was precisely what he feared.
Job
3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me,
and that
which I was afraid of is come unto me. {the thing...: Heb.
I feared a
fear, and it came upon me}
In a word if you fear it, Satan will use the thing
which you fear against you.
The opposite reaction is to have faith in God to
look after your best interests.
Faith is the opposite of fear.
When you were young and Dad said everything was ok,
that was the end
of that. It is the same with God our heavenly
Father.
He says trust me it will be ok.
The going might get exceedingly rough, but it will
be ok.
Fear is a word that appears throughout the bible
starting
in Genesis and finishing in Revelation.
Several times Christ said “Be Not Afraid”,
and “Fear Not” .
We can see from that Christ was, and is someone in
whose presence
we would be afraid,
therefore He immediately sought to remove their
fear.
Matthew
14:27 But
straightway Jesus spoke unto them, saying,
Be of good
cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
I think that is quite easy to understand.
If you saw someone walking out on the water to a
boat that you were in,
I think you would be exceedingly worried, and
probably more
by the person walking by, than about the sinking of
the boat.
I think that if you went through a funeral service
for someone
whom you had been with, and seen them die,
if when you arrived back home they were at your
front door waiting for you.
I think you would be a very frightened worried
person.
If you were taking a walk with someone with whom you
had been in close company for the past 3 years, and suddenly they stopped,
and their face started to shine like the sun, and
two other people appeared
out of nowhere, I think that you would be a very
worried person.
But to all these situations Christ said 'Fear
not'.
Christ knew that they would be afraid.
Here are some additional common scenarios that
produce fear.
We have to realise that there are always valid
reasons why you fear
to do or not to do something.
You ask the ‘What if’ question
and come up with all sorts of
answers, that might, and often never materialise.
Satan is far too smart to produce situations which
are simply
an intellectual choice without consequences real or
imagined.
Often in reality when you are really quite ill,
regardless of how you feel,
you still turn up to work out of fear of losing your
job.
If that guilt trip does not work, you feel that you
must still turn up to work
because it is unfair to your work colleagues, and in
any case the work that
you missed will be waiting for you on your return.
You might have been working very hard and you are
utterly exhausted,
yet you are needed to work more overtime, otherwise
there are going
to be serious repercussions to the company.
You are being exploited when what is needed is more
staff.
Both you and your family suffer.
Regardless of the job, it is laden with excessive
administration and form filling. The result of this is that you take the work
home with you.
You fear if you do not keep up, your job will be on
the line.
You are surrounded by regulations, laws, procedures,
and forms which constantly immediate demand action
otherwise you face prosecution for minor
infringement of some regulation.
When you are broke the system treats you as a
criminal with threats of prison etc.
You are a law abiding citizen coping with the above,
as you see criminals go free. You fear to go out, you fear being burgled.
Job 4:13 In
thoughts from the visions of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men,
Job 4:14 Fear
came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
Job 7:14
Then thou
scares me with dreams, and terrifies me through visions:
You are afraid to wake up and face the day.
You are afraid to go to sleep at night because you
are tormented in your sleep. Fear can reach the point that you are fearful of
life, and you are fearful of death.
The food, water and air are contaminated but we are
told:
Mark 16:18
They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not
hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover.
Be confident that The Eternal God’s promises also
the provision of food.
But as I have said previously, we are called to a
supernatural life,
and as we are mere humans.
We can expect to be frightened when confronted by
the supernatural.
You would be very unusual if you were not.
I enjoyed the story about one well known evangelist
who was asleep
in bed when he heard the bedroom door squeak.
He looked over and it was Satan, so he said oh it's
just you,
turned over and went back to sleep.
Not too many people could do that.
When humans came into contact with angels over and over
again the men,
and women were immediately told fear not.
Two examples are:
Luke
1:13 But the
angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias:
for thy
prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear
you a son,
and thou shall call his name John.
Luke
1:30 And the
angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary:
for thou
hast found favour with God.
It is abundantly clear that God does not want us to
fear.
In these two examples notice the people were
addressed by name to put them at ease. There are several situations where
people are told specifically why they should not fear. So it was not just a
matter of people being told fear not and nothing else, explanations were given.
The people were worried so a reason was made known
to them.
Matthew
28:5 And the
angel answered and said unto the women,
Fear
not you: for I know that you seek Jesus, which was
crucified.
‘Fear Not’ when you are seeking Christ.
Luke
1:13 But the
angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for your prayer is
heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son,and you shall call his name
John.
Fear not when you have prayed for your prayer
has been heard.
Luke
1:30 And the
angel said unto her, Fear not,
Mary: for
you have found favour with God.
Fear not because you have found favour with
God
Luke
2:10 And the
angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you
good tidings of great joy,which shall be to all people.
Fear not because you are a child of the
Gospel of salvation which is true.
Luke
8:50 But when
Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying,
Fear
not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
Fear not believe only and be made whole.
Luke
12:7 But even the
very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear
not therefore: you are of more value than many
sparrows.
Fear not you are off great value to God.
Luke
12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's
good
pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Fear not because you may have little today
but God
has given you his kingdom.
Acts
27:24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; you
must be brought before Caesar:
and, lo,
God hath given you all them that sail with you.
Fear not because if you have prayed for those
that are with you
God has given them to you and all is well.
2
Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear,
but of
power and of love and of a sound mind.
To quote this is not enough.
You
have to believe it, for it is true.
We are clearly told that there is such a
thing as ‘the
spirit of fear’
We are also told that it does not come from God.
If it does not come from God, then the source must
be the enemy,
there is no other. If you are constantly looking
over your shoulder in fear,
the question is where is your God who says He is
watching over you?
The contrast to fear is in the same verse:
Power, love, and a sound mind.
All these are really manifestations of the
outworking of the Holy Spirit.
The reality is that there are not too many sound
minds around.
I know that some are fearful of all sorts of things.
Do not be.
We
should only fear God, that is to have deep awe and
total
respect for and to Him.
1
Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the
brotherhood.
Fear
God. Honour the king.
It is utterly untrue that
there is a harsh old Father God
just waiting to swat us
into oblivion at the first opportunity.
It is the enemy who wants
to do that.
It is a classic use of
those in authority over us to keep us in fear.
This applies to our
political, and religious leaders.
Our freedom and freewill
are easily surrendered by the implementing
of the politics of fear.
The Twin towers,
real, planned or imagined terrorist attacks, have one
objective and that
is to keep us in fear.
If you drive a vehicle in
the UK you are in constant fear of speeding tickets,
and parking fines, as
thousands of cameras and traffic wardens are waiting
to swoop on you.
Apparently the U.K. is the most photographed Country in
the world, and I live in
the most photographed town in the world
If you go into hospital
with some minor complaint you fear for your life
as you wonder whether you
will get out alive or if you will be one of the
thousands of MRSA
casualties.
The list is never ending.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not
willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance.
At the time of the flood
the Eternal preached to the world
for over 100 years whilst
the Ark was being built.
Before Egypt was utterly
destroyed at the time of the Exodus, Pharoah was warned. Nineveh was warned by
Jonah about its destruction.
In fact Jonah, was so
successful that they turned from their sin.
He was most upset that
they repented, and did not reap the rewards
of their wicked ways.
There are many examples like this. Even in the New Testament we see the
disciples asking shall we wipe out the Samaritans?
Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and
John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down
from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
Before judgment God
always warns and he is always patient,
giving time for
repentance.
He does not operate like
us, with knee jerk reactions.
We are told how to
get rid of fear.
1
John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect
love casts out fear;
for fear
hath torment. He that fears is not made
perfect in love.
Perfect love is not something that you
create.
The moment that we hear the word perfect we
are speaking about God.
It is a gift from God, and even God Himself.
1
John 4:8 He that
loves not, knows not God, for God is love.
1
John 4:16 And we have known and believed
the love that God has for us.
God
is love, and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.
As we stated if you are fearful where is your God?
So how are we going to get to this position ?
Pray Lord Jesus I am fearful, Be My Peace,
Be My Comforter.
Be My Love And Understanding.
Be
My Encouragement.
The message to Joshua applies to us right now.
Be strong and courageous.
First of all Joshua is encouraged by God.
Then he encourages the people.
Joshua
1:1 Now after the death of Moses the servant
of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke unto Joshua the son of
Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
Joshua
1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now
therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, unto the land
which
I do give
to them, even to the children of Israel.
Joshua
1:3 Every place that the sole of your
foot shall tread upon,
that have I
given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
Joshua
1:4 From the wilderness and this
Lebanon even unto the great river,
the river
Euphrates,all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward
the going
down of the sun, shall be your coast.
Joshua
1:5 There
shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days
of
thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be
with you:
I
will not fail you, nor forsake you.
Joshua
1:6 Be
strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shall you
divide for an inheritance the land, which
I swore unto their fathers to give them.
{unto
this…: or, you shall cause this people to inherit the land, etc}
Joshua
1:7 Only be you strong and very courageous,
that you
may observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded
you: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left,
that you
may prosper whithersoever you go. {prosper: or, do wisely}
Having being encouraged
Joshua now encourages the people.
Joshua
10:25 And Joshua said unto them,
Fear
not, nor be dismayed,
be
strong and of good courage:
for
thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against
whom you fight.
We can see here very clearly that God wants us to
have faith,
and trust in Him and not to fear.
On the other side Satan is saying
How do you know that God even exists ?
Have you ever seen Him ?
Show Him to me.
If you are not even sure that He exists, as you have
never seen Him,
how can you trust Him?
Rest assured that Satan is painfully aware of the
existence of the Father,
Christ and the Holy Spirit.
When you are suffering in pain and difficulty, he
asks
Why hasn't your God helped you?
Where is He now you need Him?
If you listen to that, and if you are standing on
sand,
and not on solid holy ground,
suddenly you are doubting
suddenly you are anxious
suddenly you are fearful
suddenly you are overcome by the blackest
depression.
The enemy has a field day because you have allowed
it all to happen.
The apostle Peter did walk on the water.
Matthew
14: 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea,
tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary.
Matthew
14: 25 And in the
fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
Matthew
14: 26 And when
the disciples saw him walking on the sea,
they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they
cried out for fear.
Matthew
14: 27 But
straightway Jesus spoke unto them, saying,
Be of good
cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Matthew
14: 28 And Peter
answered him and said, Lord, if it be you,
bid me come
unto you on the water.
Matthew
14: 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down
out of the
ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
It is strange that Christ the one person in creation
that man
should fear as He was, and is, is God.
Yet He constantly said to men, fear not, be not
afraid.
In death no man has power over you.
Do not be fearful of other people.
Our fear is completely misdirected.
Our fear of death is the first fear that needs to be
conquered.
As soon as we believe, and no longer fear death all
the other fears will quickly be defeated. We need to realise that Satan holds
the fear of death over the whole of humanity.
Satan made a huge mistake by entering into Adam in
the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve were both called Adam.
Adam ate of the fruit, which means it became a part
of them.
That fruit was the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, death, Satan.
Thus trapped in humanity he sealed his defeat and
destruction
on the cross was now not only possible but
inevitable.
Hallelujah, what a Saviour, what a plan.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch
then as the children are partakers of
flesh and
blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him that
had the power of death,
that is, the devil;
Hebrews 2:15
And deliver them who through fear of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Of course we should make God the Number One priority
in our life,
and fear Him. But our God is so wonderful and
marvellous that He came
to earth as a man and died, having taken on the
likeness of sin,
and was resurrected so that we could have an
intimate relationship of love
with Him, not one of terror.
Christ called us friends.
John
15:13 Greater
love hath no man than this,
that a man lay
down his life for his friends.
John
15:14 You are My
friends if you do whatsoever I command you.
John
15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants,
for the
servant knows not what his lord does;
but I have called you friends, for all things that
I have
heard of My Father I have made known unto you.
God knows EVERYTHING about you, yesterday, today and
tomorrow.
He knows which cells are not working, and which are
working.
He knows your thoughts, and your needs before you
do.
You can trust him because He said,
I will never leave or forsake you forever.
When the great Creator and Sustainer, of the
universe says,
He cares for you, and says fear not, that is what we
should do.
We should pay attention, lift our heads to the
heavens and say indeed
Psalm
27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom
shall I fear?
The LORD is
the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm
27:2 When the wicked, even mine
enemies and my foes,
came upon
me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Psalm
27:3 Though an
army should encamp against me,
my heart
shall not fear; though war should rise against me,
even in
this will I be confident.
Psalm
27:4 One thing
have I desired of the LORD; that will I seek after:
that I may
dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
to behold
the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple.
Psalm
27:5 For in the
time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion;
in the
secret places of His tabernacle shall He hide me;
He shall
set me upon a rock.
Psalm
27:6 And then
shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; therefore I will
offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will
sing, yes, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Rather than fear we really just need to
humble.
Never be fearful to seek the Truth, Jesus Christ.
He stands at the door knocking.
Be bold and open the door and let him in.
There comes a point when issues have to be
confronted
and the reality is that the sooner we do so the
better.
Refuse to accept the lie that you are happy
in fear and misery.
We all know that this is not true.
The only person being fooled is you.
Some are surprised that their demeanour does not
hide their hurt
and pain one little bit.
The Eternal God wants you to be happy, full of joy
and peace,
not isolated, unhappy, and fearful.
Seek first the kingdom, and you will not live
in fear.
Take authority over the forces coming against you.
Ask Christ to reveal himself to you and to transform
you.
A new fear free life awaits you.
If you do not confront your fears your life will
continue to be a lonely
miserable existence. If you have sinned, repent, and
get on with
your life. God is not watching you to swat you like
a fly.
John
3:16 God so loved the world that He gave His one and only
Son
that
whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.
It is the blood of Christ and his death on
the cross and His resurrection
that destroys our enemy and our fears.
That was the price paid to give you a fear free
life.
Satan was a liar from the beginning and he is still
lying today.
Why reject the truth and listen to him.
John
8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the
lusts of your father
you will
do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he
speaks a lie,
he speaks
of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.
It is Satan and his demons who are trembling.
Let them get on with it.
So they should tremble, but not us.
James
2:19 You believe that there is one God; you do well.
The devils
also believe--and tremble.
As fear is from the enemy it is staggering to see
that fear
is the first item on the list of those who do not
make it
into the Kingdom of God.
This is followed by unbelief.
Both precede murder and sorcery.
Revelation 21:8 says But the fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake
which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death.
When you realise this, you can see why that there is
such stern
judgment on fear because of its originator.
And fearlessly we will over come him and his
attacks,
because he has already been overcome, indeed
even utterly defeated.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has
not
given us the spirit of fear,
but of power and of love and of a
sound mind.
We repeat that there is a spirit of fear, and it is
not from God.
So by definition it is from the evil one.
The verse seems to be saying have fear or on the
other hand
have a sound mind, the love and the power of God.
Being established in true spiritual authority
is a mighty stronghold,
a fortress that the enemy cannot breach.
The Eternal God, Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit
reign supreme,
with total power and authority.
This is an eternal truth that will never change.
Romans
16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your
feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
We are operating from victory we need to
believe that.
1
Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives
us
the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ!
1
John 5:4 For whosoever is born of God
overcomes the world.
And this is
the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.
We have to use our mouth to declare to Satan that he
is a loser,
and that Christ was totally victorious over him and
all his demons
by His death on the cross, and his resurrection.
The word of our testimony is what we tell Satan
about himself,
and his position.
Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony;
and they
loved not their lives unto the death.
Do not be afraid to do this.
Tell him to stay right where he is until you have
finished speaking
to him, and you have given him permission to leave.
Vent your anger on the real cause of all your problems
not on your family,
friends and acquaintances who have no idea how they
are being used.
Tell him that he has no legal right to you as the
price for your sin
has already been paid in full by Jesus Christ.
Tell him to get out of your relationships and all of
your affairs,
and those of your family.
Tell him that he is a loser, a defeated devil, and
that his time is almost up.
Tell him that his first prison is the abyss for one
thousand years,
and he soon will be there.
Tell him that he will never again get to where you
are going,
and you certainly do not intend to go where he is
going.
Revelation 20: 2
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a
thousand years,
Revelation 20: 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up,
and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the
nations no more,
till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Tell him that in case he forgot his ultimate
destination is in the lake of fire.
Therefore ask him what is he doing in your house
trying
to mess up your life, Your health and mind?
Tell him to get out of your family’s affairs.
Tell him not to consider your unrighteousness
but rather the righteousness of Christ who dwells in
you.
Tell him that if he returns you will have another
lecture awaiting him.
Tell him that you know that he is the one giving you
all the negative
thoughts, emotions, and feelings of guilt.
Tell him that you reject, and refuse them outright.
Tell him that it is by the authority of the perfect
sacrifice,
the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ who destroyed him on
the cross that
you are commanding him to leave you alone right now.
Only when you have finished give him permission to
leave
with the threat that there is more of the same if he
returns.
Please add whatever is necessary to deal with your
particular situation.
This is the practical application of Revelation 12:11.
Implement it today, and become an active warrior.
This is not a going through the motions routine.
Realise that the enemy is hearing your every word
and cringing at every mention of the blood of
Christ,
which is the reason for his complete destruction.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them
was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
As far as God is concerned it has already happened
it uses
the past tense ‘Was’ and the present tense ‘are’.
You do not have to fear man.
You do not have to fear the powers of
darkness.
You should not be presumptuous, but you certainly do
not have to fear.
We always tend to do the exact opposite of what we
are told to do.
This is how legitimate fear should operate.
Matthew
10:28 And fear not them that kill the
body,
but are not
able to kill the soul; but rather fear
Him that is able
to
destroy both soul and body in hell.
We should fear God and fear to disobey or not pay
attention to what
He says.
We bring many problems on ourselves.
We are told if you want to be forgiven then you must
forgive others yourself.
If you do not forgive you are putting yourself in
the perilous situation
of not being forgiven yourself, and into a position
of fear.
Matthew
6:12 And forgive
us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Matthew
6:14 For if you
forgive men their trespasses,
your
heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Matthew
6:15 But if you
forgive not men their trespasses,
neither
will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Note debts are failures, shortcomings.
We are often subtly seduced into a position that
will result in fear.
Anything is used, thoughtless conversation, radio,
television programs
including news, and supposed entertainment,
newspapers, ‘Religious broadcasts’, absolutely anything at all.
Matthew
5:23 Therefore
if you bring your gift to the altar
and there
remember that your brother has something against you,
Matthew
5:24 leave there your gift before the altar, and go your
way.
First be
reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
If your prayers are being hindered you will
quickly reach a position of fear.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Are you fearful about not having enough to eat one
day ?
Then whilst you are able, help to feed those who
cannot do so for themselves now.
Feed them, and when you are in need the same will be
done for you.
What you sow you will reap.
Sow peace and you will reap peace.
See: Reaping
What We Sow
2
Corinthians 9:6 But this I say:
He who sows
sparingly shall reap also sparingly,
and he who
sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Galatians
6:7 Be not deceived,
God is not mocked;
for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.
Galatians
6:8 For he that
sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that
sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Galatians
6:9 And let us
not be weary in well doing,
for in due
season we shall reap, if we faint not.
As you can see there are many things that you can do
to consolidate your position in Christ, and ensure that you are fear free.
I know that we read the scriptures but often we do
not really believe them.
Matthew
28:20…. lo, I am with you always, even
unto the end of the world." Amen.
If necessary pray for
Christ to be your Faith to believe what you read and understand.
Hebrews
13:5 Let your manner of living be without covetousness,
and be
content with such things as you have; for He has said,
"I
will never leave you, nor forsake you."
What greater reassurance than that can you have.
There is none.
Your sin regardless of what it is, can be forgiven,
if you only ask.
There is no license to pursue a life of sin.
True freedom, the major legitimate cause to
fear is dealt with
on the cross. You have been forgiven.
To be humble does not mean you have to be
fearful.
You will not fear man and what he can do, you will
only fear God.
Do not fear any one.
Whether you are young or old in school or at
work
remember you are not alone.
Psalm
34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that
fear
Him, and delivers them.
Psalm
23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death
will fear no evil; for You are with me; our rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
With Christ for us, and in us, we will not be
intimidated by any one, and with the angels
of the Lord
encamped around us we WILL NOT FEAR ANYONE.
Instead the opposite thing will happen.
Instead of being fearful, remember that those who
try to intimidate, and control us, will themselves ultimately fear us because
we have been mightily anointed with the Holy Spirit, and walking in the awesome
power and might of the Eternal God.
The light that fills our lives will blow away the
negative darkness like a puff of smoke.
Light always overcomes darkness.
When I was a teenager I used to say
“Why worry when you can pray”.
That is still valid and very valuable today.
It is probably one of the most sensible and
practical sentences
that I have ever made.
Today we are in a world of
don’t eat the beef,
don’t eat the lamb,
don’t eat chickens,
don’t drink the water,
don’t breathe the air, etc., etc.
The TV news and soaps bombard you with all the
diseases
you are likely to get and suffer.
You are going to get Anthrax, someone is going to
blow up the aircraft you are travelling on with a tube of toothpaste, or a
bottle of water.
You are going to get bird flu, or Mad cow disease.
Everyone who is not ‘you’, is a ‘terrorist’ waiting
to kill you.
With the newspapers they convince you that you could
never have another stable relationship. After all you messed up the previous
one or ones.
On and on it goes endlessly.
Please don’t take all that on board.
Give thanks for your many blessings.
Vocally reject EVERYTHING which is not good and
perfect, but is negative.
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness,neither shadow of
turning.
Instead of worrying, being anxious and fearful, it
would be much wiser to say:
The LORD is my light and
my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength
of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
In Him shall I trust.
Today I won’t worry, I’ll pray.
Be
Humble Repent Listen
To The Eternal God Obey Him.
This is very easy to say,
but I assure you that it is physically an impossibility without
the empowerment of the Eternal God.
Just going up to some altar
call, running to some church, or isolating yourself
in the hope that somehow it will
all go away, will not do it.
What are you going to do about it before it
is too late?
See
Video: Obedience Is The Only Way Of Escape
. The only way out of this dilemma is
Jesus Christ.
. He
is the only way of escape.
. We have to be under His
Care and Protection.
. Salvation

. Complete Obedience is required
Praise the Lord.
