Don't Be Afraid

We live in an age of increasing uncertainty. With all the atrocities that are heard everyday, all around the world, it leads one to wonder where one can go and be safe. While one used to be able to find comfort in the safety and security of their own home, even now that is questionable. But those who know God and have faith in His word know that you can find safety and security in the arms of Jesus Christ. In Him there is no need for one to be shaken or to be afraid.

When the walls that surround you seem as though they are about to cave in, don't be afraid. When trouble surrounds you on every side and you can't get up for getting knocked back down, don't be afraid, get up and keep moving. When you go to the doctor and you get an unfavorable report, don't be afraid, believe the report of the Lord. Find your strength in the faithfulness and the word of the Almighty God.

What would happen if this generation of mankind would truly come to know and realize that everything they need and freedom from fear lies in Christ, and in Him there is no condemnation. In Christ you can be free from pain, free from depression, free from worry, free from doubt, free from misery, totally and completely free from anything that is holding you in bondage. Learn to let go. Let go of all your inhibitions and come to Christ Jesus, there is no need to be afraid.

And this spirit of fear isn't limited to what we see and hear on the news; a lot of fear goes on within the mind. It's those little things that eat away at us that we don't want anyone to know about; those secret things that many keep under wraps. You want to get rid of it, but you just feel so weak. You try and shake it, but in the midnight hour you all too often find yourself bowing down at the table of your adversary in fear. God is telling you today, I see your pain, I see your struggle, I know what you're going through, even in those secret times when you thought you were all alone I was there, let go today. You don't have to be afraid, you don't have to give in any longer. Draw near to me and I will strengthen you and make your paths anew.

Why fear when there is an empty tomb. Rejoice and no longer be afraid. Our Savior Lives!!!

God Bless!!!
