word

s do not

fear

for I am with you do not be discouraged for I am your god I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my victory right hand now I am speaking to you today simply from this thought do not

fear

do not fear do not fear and I want you to understand that this fear is not a suggestion it is an order it is an order and I would have thought that the order that really took priority in the mind of god would be a command from god telling us to

worship

the lord your god and he tells us to

worship

him.

I would have thought the biggest mandate he would have given us would have been just the mandate. pray or the command to trust in god or or the command that he gave us like not to bear false witness not to lie not to steal not to murder not to commit adultery uh I would have thought that the biggest command was just simply uh love your enemies love your enemies but I really want you to understand this fear is not the most repeated command in the Bible it's not that interesting it's the most repeated command in the Bible fear is not the most repeated command in the Bible Bible and that means we probably have more problems with all this fear than with anything else.

Fear not, but it is the most repeated commandment in all of Scripture. Do not fear, do not fear, do not fear. You know why, because in different stages of life there are terrifying situations that you will experience, in fact, in each new level, in each new stage of life, there are new things that you have never carried before and therefore it is scary, it scares us, so I want you to realize it in the midst of God. us giving each other this order over and over again afraid, not afraid, not afraid, no, I mean, when a child has grown up in the parents' home and when they prepare to go to daycare to school for the first time, you know the child. is afraid the parents are afraid sometimes both the mother and the baby cry when they go to kindergarten for the first time because they are simply afraid of this this new existence when they go to university this mother cries the baby cries it is a new stage it is a new development you leave a job you go to another job you start to cry you leave friends you move from a house in a neighborhood you move to another experience because every change means loss every change means loss every change means loss and then we mourn for a moment the loss of the familiar of what we know and we begin to fear this unknown territory that we are going into, so God has to remind us at different times over and over again, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's not. the most repeated commandment in the entire bible I want you to understand the greatest desire of this god for us is that we believe him it is just that we believe him believe in the lord your god and thus you will be established believe him believe him believe him not not try him just believe him believe him his greatest I wish God's greatest wish for us is that we simply believe him I don't know if you've ever noticed in Romans 10 4 where he says how they will call on him in whom they have not believed and how they will believe in him in whom they have not heard and how they will hear without a preacher but it is about ensuring that we can believe him God's greatest desire for us is that we believe him believe it believe it when you believe God you stop fearing because you know that God is with you please understand that our salvation is based on our believing God Romans 10 9 just remember if you confess with your mouth the lord jesus and believe in your heart that god has raised him from the dead you will be saved all our salvation is based on our believing god because god's greatest desire for us is simply to be believed he just said believe me believe me believe me that's why again he says that without

faith

it is impossible to please him hebrews chapter 11 and verse 6 without

faith

it is impossible to please him and this is what I want you to realize your faith follows your focus your faith follows your focus your faith follows your focus your faith follows your focus that's why you have to be careful what you listen to, watch the news all the time, read the statistics all the time, listen to a doctor's report, watch the economy and who else closed and what's going on in someone else's life. negative and who else got sick and you look at all the negative data in the world and suddenly your faith follows your focus your faith follows your focus one of the best remedies for older people is to get away from older people and associate with some young people because you know when you start interacting with older people, you all start comparing the different medications you're taking and how many milligrams you're taking and how many you're taking and what's happening with your back and your knees and and and how the brother writers are doing that you know. that they are messing with you, so you need to surround yourself with someone who doesn't have your problem, but someone who has your answer because your faith follows your focus, your faith follows your Focus, your faith follows your focus and a lot of our news is Negatively, we are dealing with murder rates and deaths based on disease and the financial ruin of people and all that, and that produces fear, so again God has to remind us of fear. do not fear do not fear do not fear do not fear do not fear no because fear has torment and that is why every time you are afraid change your focus every time you are afraid change your focus change your focus you have the ability to turn and change your focus every time be afraid its not a problem or if you are afraid you will be afraid at some points i mean no one is just superman and i mean even people of faith you know we will go out and say things that the lord has said god has shown me This, he gave it to me. a dream, he has given me a vision and we start to speak it by faith and then when circumstances and realities start hitting us in the face, then we start, you know, we go from being superman to clark kent again and he brings us back I come back and we are dealing with our fears and that is why he has to remind us again of fear, not fear, no the most repeated command in the entire Bible is fear, not the most repeated command in the entire Bible, fear, no, so when fear takes over you change your focus when fear takes over you change your focus change your focus change your focus when peter got out of the boat fear took over and he started concentrating on the wind and the waves and he had to change his focus back to Jesus the moment he changed his Focus back on Jesus, he was able to hold his hand, he focused on Jesus and his hand lifting him up.

I will hold you with my right hand. Jesus extended his right hand to commune with him and allowed him to step back again. no fear no fear no because this is what fear does fear involves the principle of magnification involves the principle of magnification that whatever you focus on gets bigger uh if you put a piece of paper on the ground and then hold it up a magnifying glass over that piece of paper do you know that that piece of paper will catch fire will catch fire the

word

focus means uh the point of convergence where you are converging your energy your focus on that area and the word focus literally comes from a Latin word which literally means chimney and we all know, I mean, I used to play when I was a kid in the woods with a magnifying glass and I would take that glass and burn a hole in a leaf because it's just focused light, whatever it is.

Focus on anything you magnify in your mind, it will catch fire in your soul. You keep looking at lustful images and suddenly you will be dealing with uncontrolled lust that drives your behavior due to the principle of magnification, if you keep focusing on it. It will get bigger if you focus on your blessings everywhere you look, you will find that you are blessed, there are some people who are pessimistic to the core and I am allergic to negative people, they make me itch you know? because in every solution they find a problem and but when one is full of the faith of God I get up every day and I look for things to be grateful for every day I wake up I said this is the day the Lord has I did it and I will rejoice and I will be extremely happy and I always find subtle blessings from God, subtle blessings from God just in the little things and I am grateful for that, so if you focus on the blessings and the things. what you are grateful for every day you will see more and more things that you can give glory to and if you focus on what is wrong you will find more and more things that are wrong please don't do that with your spouse because you know, if you look for things that They are wrong with your spouse, your spouse, you will find them and not only will you find one, you will find two and then three and then four and then they will begin to multiply in you, but If you only look for their defects, what is wrong with them, what they do negatively , you will always find something that magnifies and gets bigger, and the next thing you know you are inflamed and now this huge conflagration has been ignited. in your mind and in your heart and suddenly you are walking in hate and can I suggest this: the opposite of love is not hate but fear, no wonder the Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear. drive out all fear perfect love drive out all fear and I guarantee this that whatever you fear, you also hate if you hate snakes or fear snakes, you hate snakes if you fear dogs, you hate dogs if you fear to spiders and you are dealing with arachnophobia, you hate spiders, if you fear large open spaces, agoraphobia or aerophobia, fear of heights, some people are even afraid of the number 13, it's called triscodechophobia, there are so many different phobias it will surprise you that people have. fear of rejection fear of being alone in the world they are afraid of uh they are afraid of blood some people are afraid of clowns they are afraid of needles there are so many fears phobias in our world that have no basis They are not realistic and there are fears and no It is no wonder that God told us not to fear, the most common commandment in the Bible, do not fear, do not fear, do not fear, do not fear, do not fear.

He tells us, listen, do not be afraid, do not be afraid, and he does it. Not only does he say don't be afraid but he starts telling us why he says because I am with you don't be afraid he says don't be discouraged don't be depressed don't be discouraged because I am your I am with you and I am your helper I will help you I will help you why not be depressed I will help you sir I have no one to help me god says I will help you I am your help who You can ask for better help than God and if you have God on your side, my God, he has so many agents on earth, that means if you lose a job, you Work is a resource, but God is your source, and if you lose a resource. the source will open another resource for you that's why god says relax don't be afraid of this situation i am your source i am god i will help you i will help you and i will hold you with the hand of my justice i will defend you i love you he says don't be afraid i know the world has a lot to offer you in terms of fear but he says don't be afraid so remember when you're concentrating on the negative change your focus because your focus is a point of convergence it's a point of convergence it's your chimney whatever you focus on it is your fireplace it is your focus it is something that causes a burning inside you so whatever it is that you want to magnify in your life, if you concentrate on it, it will become bigger and better, remember that the areas of your focus are the areas of your reward and the areas of your neglect are the areas of your pain, so concentrate on the right things, concentrate on the right things and if you take something as simple as water and if you concentrate on water, did you know that Can water cut steel?

Water can cut steel if you concentrate. Take a look at this. little video just watch this it's just a laser beam of water watch it cut the lock and I hope you see that whatever it is that has you locked, if you put the water of the word in it, the word can cut and break every chain, break Each lock breaks everything that chains your life because the word of God is like water Ephesians chapter 5 verse 26 says to sanctify it and cleanse it is talking about the church with the washing of the water of the word the word is a type of water the washing of the water of the word and if you focus on that word, that word will cut through whatever is blocking you, whatever is blocking your thinking, whatever is blocking your emotions, whatever is blocking you from power love freely and power. return to yourself return to yourself to return alive and be who God has made you to be and not define yourself by what has happened to you you are not what you have done you are what you have overcome and God through The precious blood of Jesus gives you the power and effectiveness to be able to overcome everything negative that has happened in your world.

I am so glad that it is time for us to start using this laser-like focus to break down everything that has locked us in and excluded us from God's provisions in our lives, but I want you to realize that if We are going to have enough faith to face the challenges of life we ​​must refocus on the power of God's word I want you to understand it very clearly if we are going tohave enough faith to face the challenges of life we ​​must refocus on the power of the word of god the word of god is swift and powerful, we must once again put the word of God in a place of prominence and preeminence in our lives because we have taken the word of God and put it on the back burner and whenever we can get some inspiring reading. and a little positive thinking listen that's not the same as the word of god if you're dealing with a demonic spirit a demonic spirit is not interested in a norman vincent peale quote are you listening? there are some things that if you don't do it has the power of the word of god behind it, that is actually the strength of the word of god.

Can I remind you of the word of the Lord, Psalm 107 and verse 20, he sent his word and healed them and delivered them from his destruction, which was destroying his life. god said he sent his word and delivered them he sends his word jesus sent his word and said lazarus come out when you're living your life like a dead man walking dead man walking dead man walking he's calling your name lazarus michael jeffrey come 'cause he's calling you George, come, he's calling you to come, he doesn't just raise men, he raises girls, he says Tabitha is coming, get up, get up, get up, get up, don't fear death, talk to death, get up, get up.

He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction, that's why every time you get into trouble, there is a word from God, there is a word from God, there is a word, that's why your most pressing question Whenever you are in trouble there should be a word from the Lord because he sent his word and healed them and delivered them from the very things that were destroying them Psalm 107 and verse 20. It is a promise that remains as true today as it was in the time when the prophets of old spoke it, so remember that we have to put the word of God back in a prominent place in our lives, remember this: faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God , It's not understood. faith unless you understand the word faith comes by hearing romans 10 17 and hearing by the word of god faith comes by hearing hearing and you will discover in the original language that it is a gerund to say that faith comes by hearing and hearing does not Don't say that faith comes from having heard faith comes from hearing and hearing faith comes from hearing and hearing faith comes from hearing and hearing faith comes from hearing and hearing is a process in which you never reach a point. place where you graduate from hearing the word of god, oh, but I've heard no, no, faith comes by hearing and hearing, faith comes by hearing and hearing, and that's why the Bible reminds us in Romans chapter 14 around verse 23 that everything that listens to this carefully, is not of faith is sin, oh, that is terribly strong, everything that is not of faith is sin, everything that is not of faith is sin, everything that is not of faith is sin, one version puts it this way: anything with which you do not have a conviction has the approval of God.

In your life, everything that is not aligned or aligned with your faith is a sin. Everything that does not show that you have trust towards God is a sin and that is why it says do not fear, do not fear, do not fear, do not fear, do not fear, there is a lot of fear. things that happen in the world sir, where did this world come? you hear people talking like that run, cover your ears, everything that is not of faith is sin faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god the word has power and the bible says that his the word is like a hammer is like a hammer that means you don't just say it once you don't have to hammer that word with its sores I'm healed while you're still hurting with its sores I'm here you have to keep confessing it keep confessing that I'm blessed even when you're ruined I'm blessed in the city ​​I am blessed in the country I am blessed you have to declare the word of the lord over and over and over and over again, sometimes when you hear that word you just have to hammer that word into you once you say it for the first time, That is simply aligning the nail with the hole or where you want to nail it and every time you recite it, take it a little deeper and a little deeper and a little deeper and a little deeper and it will be secured in your soul.

His word is like a hammer his word is like a fire when you get cold when the love of many the wax gets cold because I want you to understand this principle that we learned in the New Testament Galatians around chapter 5 faith works by love faith works by love faith works by love faith works by love because remember that the opposite of love is not hate, the opposite of love is fear and that is why fear, that is why perfect love casts out all fear and everything you fear , you also hate him and that's why you have to realize that you will, you are called to love God and not fear, do not fear, do not fear, do not fear, so that faith will arise in your heart that is why we have to return to the word of God, we put the word in the background, we have too many things that we read from different sources and we have neglected them you cannot give other writings the same level of validity and power that you give to the word of God it is a text sacred is not the opinion of one man is breathed by god is infused by god is empowered by god is life by god is backed by the presence of god psalm 138 and verse 2 says that he has exalted his word even above his own name Another version says that he has used his name as a guarantor to guarantee the promises of his word but God has exalted his word even higher than his name, you know why because his word is the one that brings us the revelation of the names of God, we learn that word by word. word where is the word of god the word of god in terms of priority in your life is your daily bread this is a call to the church so that the people of god put the word of god back in a place of preeminence in your life you have to read it and fall in love with it as if it were life for you, renew your Keep in mind because if you do not renew it, it will grow old and begin to adopt the philosophies and fears of the world, so once again we have to return it to prominence in our lives.

Let me give you a thought about this. and I prayed about it and I said lord, just show me this in your word and this is what came into my spirit these seven things that have to do with the word of god seven things that have to do with the word of god number one pray for spiritual enlightenment in the word of god in psalm 119 verse 18. speak and I would pray for this every time I don't prepare to open my bible, open my eyes that I may behold wonderful things outside of your law, god, open my eyes so that I can see as you see in this word help me God to see what you want to show me pray for spiritual enlightenment don't start reading your Bible pray for God to open your understanding your enlightenment don't just read because that is one of the number one complaints people read the bible they said well I don't understand I don't understand you open your bible and you get sleepy you get sleepy because you don't see how it relates to your life my God this book is so relevant to your life so the first thing you do is pray for enlightenment spiritual you know why because the bible says that the entrance of his word gives light the moment his word enters into you enters into you this word is not going to enter into you because it is on your nightstand or because it is on your table of coffee or because it's on an app on your phone, it comes into you because you say the word and you meditate on it and it goes into your heart, so seven things to do with the with the with this is number one pray for spiritual enlightenment in the word of god number two read the word of god read it read it second first timothy chapter 4 verse 13 paul writing there to timothy he says until I come pay attention to reading reading I want you to pay attention, he says, to the reading, to the exhortation and the doctrine of the Scriptures, read it, pay attention to what it exhorts and encourages you to do and then to the doctrine that it is teaching you, which prepares you to live successfully in Jesus. christ to build the character of christ in your heart read the word of god pray for enlightenment then read the word of god here is number three study the word of god second timothy 2 15 i grew each week while teaching the bible we closed our service with this study to show yourself approved before god as a worker who has nothing to be ashamed of by correctly dividing the word of truth study to show yourself study to show yourself as a worker who has nothing to be ashamed of by correctly dividing the word of truth you pray for enlightenment you read the word you study the word of god number four you meditate on the word of god you meditate on the word of god meditate like the Hebrew word hoga h-a-g-a-h and it means to pronounce murmur speak to yourself out loud speak that word speak that word to murmur, say it over and over again so that whatever you want to come into you, say it over and over again, meditate on it in Joshua 1 8, he says that this book of the law will not depart from your mouth, but you will meditate on it with what Often, day and night, you will be able to observe how to do according to everything that is written there and then he says that if you do what he says, then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success. the word of god so pray for god to open your understanding your spiritual understanding read the word study word number four meditate on word number five discuss the word with other believers discuss the word discussion reinforce the information in luke chapter 24 and verse 14 and 15 uh this is when they were on the road to emmaus and the disciples were discussing uh among themselves the bible says there everything that had happened and while they were discussing things among themselves jesus himself came and walked among them jesus appeared in the middle of where two or three are gathered in my name discuss the word of God with others because the discussion reinforces the information you will get different ideas, revelations and understanding when you discuss the word with other believers what this meant to you how this spoke to you you and through the different facets because this word is multifaceted if you had all the time in the world you could never exhaust the revelation in the word of god there are layers to this and let me tell you I remember I once spent an entire year teaching one verse one verse one verse from Scripture just one verse of scripture I know the plans I have for you declares that the Lord plans to prosper you and not harm your plans to give you a hope and a future of just one year and to listen later, after teaching for a year one verse of scripture , I still couldn't exhaust it because the revelation that is packaged in the word of God is like an onion, as soon as you peel away one layer, there is another and then there is another and then there is another and the more you grow, the more you can see in the various layers of the Scriptures, that's why I said: fall in love with that word, fall in love with that word, fall in love, pray. that god will open the eyes of your understanding then read that word read that word and study that word then meditate on that word and then discuss that word with other believers discuss that word with other believers this is the next thing you should do number six practice the word practice the word practice, I mean, what's the point if you're praying for understanding and you're reading and you're studying, you're meditating, you're discussing it with other people and then you still don't do it? don't do it James 1 22 says be doers of the word and not hearers, only deceiving yourselves be doers of the word practice the word put into practice what you learn put into practice what you learn and let me tell you this anyone who claims to be deeply in the word here is the true litmus test to know if you have any depth in the word the depth of your understanding and revelation in the word is revealed by your depth of love now it is deep but it doesn't I don't love you deceiving you you are fooling yourself if you are supposed to be spiritual and you mean like a rattlesnake you are fooling yourself if you are if you are not in a place of goodness and gratitude in your life because something about the word how much The more you see the glory of God in the word, the more you realize how unworthy, how dirty and despicable we are and it makes us grateful that God accepts us in the beloved, who loves us when we were not worthy of being loved. he loves us god loves you he loves you unconditionally that should surprise you it should make you say you know god you know why you don't love me this way it should do something inside you but you have to fall in love with that word practice that word it doesn't make any difference that you ask god for understanding and you have all this revelation and if it doesn't manifest itself in the way you are able to love people you are fooling yourself jesus was filled with love he was filled with love he refused to be offended it's hard to be offended with people that you really love that you really love inside love transcends offense because love doesn't let a problem go Become more important than the relationship and here is the seventh thing.

Share the word with the lost. Share the word with the laws. Once you get that word, I mean, if you have asked God to understand the word, you read the word, you study the word. you meditate on the word you discuss the word with other believers and you practice the word now you share that word with others lost people mark 16 15 go into all the world preaching and teaching and baptizing them andthen to the father son of the holy spirit he says: go and share this word with everyone you know share it share it with the lost share it with the lost share it with the lost with the lost the lost don't just preach to the choir share it with the lost share with the Lost people take the light of the word and make it shine in the darkness in dark places.

It is very interesting to note that ten times in the Bible the command do not fear is followed by do not be discouraged, that is very interesting. connection with don't be afraid with don't be discouraged either you know why because everything that makes us afraid also discourages us if you live with the fear of rejection you will become discouraged if you live with the fear of failure you will become discouraged Discouragement is a natural fruit that arises from fear. Fearful people are discouraged people. Fearful people are negative people. Fearful people are negative people. Faithful people are positive people.

So maybe there is a connection between fear and discouragement because we fear so much. And here's something I want you to think about: God can remove something from your life that you never thought you would lose. Can't you trust him to bring something new into your life that you never dreamed of? Let me say it again. If God. He can remove something from your life that you never dreamed of losing. Can't you trust him to bring something new and better into your life that you never dreamed of? And you know, one of the things I discovered is that some people are afraid that any kind of extreme in their life will take them away from God.

We noticed that in the writings of one of the proverbs chapter 30, verses eight and nine, we notice this in the version of the message that says: Give me enough food to live on, not too much. not too little if I'm too full I could become independent saying God who needs it and if I'm poor I could steal and dishonor the name of my god look he's afraid of extremes it's like he doesn't want to be too full because if I get too full he might see that I'm independent, who needs God and then if I get too hungry I might steal and dishonor the name of my god, well you know, when I get full and if I have a full refrigerator and a full refrigerator. freezer I'm going to say blessed be the name of the lord won't it make me say you know I don't need god I say lord I thank you lord I thank you and this is what I say when you are connected to the word you realize by your hands oh god we are fed by your hands have blessed me with whatever I have all that god what I have what I have you gave me what I know god you taught me you taught me I, uh, you know where I am, God, you brought me, that's our way of saying Jesus , I depend so much on you, you don't have to be afraid of the blessing, which will distance you from God, because money doesn't change people, money only exposes. you for who you already were if you are grateful before you have money you will be grateful after you have money and I don't know about you, but I have traveled to some places in the world where people were desperate poor, I have traveled to some places, the average income was 250 a year, not a day, not a week, a year, a year and I found the most grateful people in the world, the most grateful, they were very grateful for any little thing that you just had. whatever you had, I remember one time walking in a rural town in uh Mexico and I had one of our company's t-shirts uh, I was walking through the town in the town and I have one of our company's t-shirts and a young man He approached me and I was so in love with someone from America who had something that was in English that had an American slogan and he wanted he wanted It was so desperate that it was like it was another t-shirt for me and he said, "I'll give you a t-shirt." new if you give me that one and right in the middle of the market. the

bishop

takes it off and puts it back on a new shirt and he was so happy and I was so happy and he got something old and sweaty and I got something fresh and new and I'm just telling you when you love God when you love god when you love god whether you have a little or a lot god can bless you if your attitude is right i'm just saying it's a big blessing and the fear of the lord has the fear of the lord because the fear of the lord is when you have a reverential respect and honor of god fear the lord you have a reverential respect and honor of god and I want you to understand this that if you do not have the fear of the lord you will be plagued with fear of the devil if you do not have fear of the lord you will be plagued with fear of the devil and if you really want a simple definition of the fear of the lord proverbs chapter 8 and verse 13 says the fear of the lord is to hate evil when you fear god you hate evil when you fear god you hate evil when you fear god you hate what god hate and love what god loves the fear of the lord is to hate evil and we need both the love of God and the fear of God, neither one nor the other.

Now people are in this movement that all God is love, just love everyone, love, no, that is more than just love of God, there is also the fear of the Lord and love. of god is what attracts us to god but the fear of the lord is what helps us to abstain from evil the fear of the lord helps us to abstain from evil we need both the love of god and the fear of god love attracts us to god the fear keeps us away from things that offend god so you need both and can I remind you of this there are so many benefits of the fear of the lord let me share some with you the bible is loaded with benefits of when you have the fear of the lord number one of the fear of the lord carries to life leads to life life is where you have peace is where you have peace is where you can sleep and rest at night the fear of the lord leads to life proverbs 19 23 the fear of the lord prolongs life you want to live a long time is a promise from the word of god proverbs chapter 10 verse 27 prolongs life the fear of the lord prolongs life and then the lord favors those who fear him you want the favor of god upon you the lord favors those who fear him psalm 147 verse 11 and then god will fulfill the desire of those who fear him god will give you the desires of your heart you would see that psalm 145 verse 19.

I'm just telling you that god will fulfill the desire of those who fear him and then here's another good one in the fear of the lord there is strong confidence proverbs 14 26 he will make you a confident person I tell you when you fear god you do not have to fear man and then she has given you uh for those who fear him there is no need psalm 34 verse nine god says listen I will bless you in your need you will realize that you won do not lack anything to those who fear him there is no need and then look at this one he has given food to those who fear him my god he said you will fear the lord he will feed you you feel the lord he will feed you be it ​​he has fed those who fear him psalm 111 and verse 5 and then blessed is everyone who fears the lord you will be blessed psalm 128 and verse 1 blessed is everyone who fears the lord and then there is the fear of him lord is the beginning of wisdom the fear of the lord proverbs 9 10 the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom these are just some of the benefits of having the fear of god in your heart and so remember that whenever you fear the lord no You don't have to fear people, because you will notice in Psalm 118, verse 6, the Lord is for me, so I will not be afraid of what people can do to me when you fear God.

You don't have to fear people when you fear God. You don't have to fear people I don't care if you've been in a drug scene If you fear God You don't have to fear people If you've been in a gang If you fear God No I have to fear people because God is ours advocate. I mean, what can people do to us? I mean, the psalmist David reminded us in Psalm 27 1. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Who should I fear?

They comfort me when God is with you you don't have to fear evil because God defeats evil with good he defeats people with good so remember that the opposite of love is not hate it is fear but hate is the fruit of fear hate is the fruit of fear hate is the fruit of fear and if you dedicate yourself to business you will need faith if you get married you will need faith if you pursue a dream you will need faith yes To launch yourself into the ministry, you will need faith every time you prepare to expand something you're doing every time you get promoted.

You will need another level of faith every time you encounter the demonic world. You need faith. Faith is needed at any time. It's time to get ready to try something you failed at before you need faith because there will be a little voice that will come back to you and tell you that you know what happened the last time you tried, but it didn't work the last time. You talked to them and I don't know who this prophetic word is for, but when you go this time I heard God say that now it's going to be different.

You may have fished all night in those waters and come up with nothing. nets and then his son he before the word of the lord to the experienced fishermen he says to cast your nets on the right side of the boat at this time when you leave them on the right side of the right relationship god says I have a drought you are getting preparing to receive so many crowds because this time you are going to keep your word, there is a little voice that tells you that you lost the last baby, if you get pregnant again you will lose this one and now You are afraid to tell someone again that you are pregnant because you are afraid because You know you lost the last one, let faith arise, don't be afraid, not the last person left and left you, that's why now you are afraid to love.

You are again afraid to trust again because you were hurt and your best way to protect yourself from pain again is to keep people at bay to keep them at a distance because you don't want to get hurt again. I don't want your expectations to be crushed, your dreams to be diminished again, let me tell you it's time to rise up and live again when David sinned with Besheba the word of the Lord came and said you know what you did was sinful it was conceived in sin and the baby that is born after will have to die and david and the firstborn of besheba, david did everything he could in his power to try to save that baby, he cried out to god, he put on sackcloth and ashes, he begged god for your baby. and the baby still died and he looked out and saw his servants whispering and he said what is my son well and they were honest with them they said no, no, the child is dead the bible says that david washed his face and changed his clothes. clothes.

I never thought about it again and she went on and had another baby and her second son was Solomon and from his first failure came her greatest wisdom and I just want you to know that the other thing that you might have tried last time could have done it. It has been a great failure, but God is not finished. God is not done with you. God is not done if you have another baby where you have gotten right with God and confessed your sin. God will change things. I want you to listen to it. the word of the lord in isaiah chapter 43 because before you try to claim that one of these verses is right for you, make sure you have a right heart with it, you can't just quote scripture and keep promises if your heart is not right with god the word only works when you have let it work in your heart first but look at the promise that god gave to a people who were in covenant relationship with him in isaiah 43 verses 1-3 but now oh jacob this is a tribe of jacob He says listen to the Lord who created you or Israel who formed you says don't be afraid because I have rescued you I call you by name in your mind when you pass through deep waters I will be with you deep water things where you are above your head he says that I will be with you when you go through rivers of difficulty you will not drown when you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned the flames will not consume you for I am the lord your god the saint of Israel your savior remember when god spoke to moses when he was leading the people in exodus chapter 14 and verse 13 notice this but moses told the people do not be afraid just stand still and watch the lord rescue you today the egyptians you see today will never be seen again god says what has been chasing you is the last time youthey will persecute do not be afraid do not be afraid do not be afraid no said in deuteronomy chapter 3 and verse 22 do not be afraid of the nations there because the lord your god will fight for you the lord your god will fight for you you have your heart right with god god will fight for you you joshua chapter 10 in verse 8 he says no Don't be afraid of them, the Lord said to Joshua because I have given you victory over them, not a single one of them will be able to resist, uh, face you.

I want you to remember the promise of his word in Isaiah 54 17, but no. weapon can hurt you you will have an answer for all those who accuse you I will defend my servants and I will give them victory that is why you should not be afraid and remember in second Timothy 1 7 because God has not given us a spirit of fear but a power and of love and of a healthy mind a mind that discerns a mind that is stable and balanced so that it can process the truth appropriately spirit of fear is an attitude of fear but instead god has given us an attitude of power an attitude of love and an attitude of good judgment good judgment just remember the acronym for fear is just forget everything and run or face everything and get up you decide decide decide forget everything and run or face everything and get up face everything and get up and god tells us Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Do not fear, for I am with you and I will help you and uphold you at the right hand of my justice and even when you feel this deceitful nature within you, I love the words that were set by an anonymous writer who said two natures beat within my chest one It is disgusting, one is blessed, the one I love, the one I hate, the one I feed, will dominate and I just want you to know today that those same two natures beat inside your chest, they beat inside you, the one that is disgusting, the one that is blessed, the one you love, the one you hate.

What you feed will dominate and I encourage you today feed your faith and starve your doubts your faith survives thanks to a diet of the word of God it does not survive from CNN or Fox your faith survives from a diet of the word of God and the more you feed you pray that god will open the eyes of your understanding so that you can contemplate wonderful things from his word and when you pray and you read the word and you study the word and you meditate on the word and you discuss the word and when you share that word with others it begins to magnify you , you access the law of magnification and your life. will be transformed by the glory of god this is an exhortation to you today to put the word of god back in a place of prominence and preeminence in your life the word of god the word of god but I went to the Jewish temple to worship behind the what it would be to be considered the most holy place it was not a baptistery it was a scroll with the torah the living word is the word what was in the ark of the covenant was the word was the word and also inside was a vessel of manna which is the proof of the word and the theft of Aaron that he encountered, which is the leadership that flourishes in your life and produces something that can feed you and all of this is the result of the living word and it was that word that carried the entire ark of the covenant so that that if you were an unauthorized person and you touched him you would die what accused him was the power of god through the word of god the book of hebrews reveals to us that god is upholding all things by the word of his power not by the power of his word the word of his power is because the power of god is released by his word and when you put the word of god in your mouth and speak it it becomes power for you and I implore you on this day the same god who promised us in the Psalm 107 and Verse 20 who sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions that same god who loves you believes in you and has sent his word Jesus Christ is the personification the incarnation of the word remember John 1 in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god verse 14 and we saw this glorious one of the only begotten of god who dwelt among us and that word became flesh jesus is the word incarnate she is the word he is the word jesus is the word you receive Jesus and then you are held in relationship with him by his word that you fall in love with the god of the Bible that you fall in love with the word wouldn't it be a shame if you said you were in love with someone? and that person had written you a lot of love letters and you never read them and yet you say that this is the lover of your soul and the Lord is saying I have written you a love letter with my promises and I have given you something to deal with with fear and your depression and if you receive my word within you, that word will transform your life bow your heads right where you are if you are in this place if you join us right in your place of listening and you are not in good standing with Jesus Christ the living word is standing and knocking at the door of your heart I know that two natures beat inside your chest one is disgusting one is blessed the one you love the one you hate but the one you feed will dominate if you give it a constant diet of the word of God first receiving Jesus Christ, who is the living bread, the living word enters your heart, he says, I will dine with you and you with me, if you will only pray this simple prayer, dear Lord, I ask you to enter my heart, live in me, I believe that you sent Jesus to die on the cross for me so that I may have the right to the tree of life, I believe that you raised him from the dead I receive him right now in my life transform me and move through me because of your love for me now I am saved and I thank you in the name of Jesus.
