Overcoming Fear

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-29-26

by

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

I had a dream last night.

I was cleaning a house. I was alone; the owner of the home was not there.

As I was on the last room, there was a curtain closing off part of a room. I pulled it back and saw a person sleeping on the floor. They woke up and began to speak in another language.

I couldn’t understand them. This caused them to become angry and come after me, chasing me through this house. I ran and ran, but couldn’t find the way out. So I hid.

I woke from the dream, breathing quietly so as not to be heard, still scared he would find me and kill me.

The person in the dream was symbolic of my fears.

It was my fears that were chasing me.

It’s time for us all to pull back that curtain, children of God.

That’s right; we must face these fears. If we don’t, they will chase us and keep us running and hiding.

Maybe there is something we have hidden in our heart from God. It’s a normal reaction; Adam and Eve were the first to try and hide from Him in the garden.

What are we afraid of today, or afraid to tell Him?

We must confront it or it will taunt us, chase us down, and keep us in that place of holding on to unconfessed sin and hidden fears.

Stop running and hiding from it. Talk to God, get it out in the open, and let Him set us free from it.

He will help us and uphold us with His righteous right hand!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-22-25

by

2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Some weeks can really try to throw us for a loop; the week during which this was written was one of them.

What made this week stand out?

I received a report back from a pathology lab. My biopsy tested positive for malignant Melanoma.

After getting this phone call, I took a deep breath.

It’s a funny thing because I had been praying to be stronger and to not be so fearful. And here I am sitting, listening to a woman explaining over the phone my next step. Surgery!

I had to face one of my biggest fears. I don’t do well with wounds, blood and stitches.

And guess what else. For this particular surgery, they only use local anesthesia; they kept me awake through the entire procedure.

This caused my fear to be amplified!

A couple of times during the surgery I felt like I was starting to panic, but would cry out immediately to God to calm me down.

Fear is a funny thing. It comes unannounced. It comes and hits us right in that place that controls everything; our mind. It hits our thoughts immensely.

But remember who should have dominion over our thoughts!

We must surrender our thoughts to Him. This scripture commands it.

We shouldn’t let those thoughts run us. We truly have the reins in our hands in this. Or we’d better!

But when we are so overwhelmed and under attack with fear, it can be very hard.

What I have learned is we can cry out to God. When we are so beside ourselves in fear and can’t even pull our thoughts together, He will be there.

He will calm us right down. His peace will come and help us pull it together and get past it without fainting.

He gives us the strength not to faint or give up!

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

We all face many tribulations. But God is there to help us be strong and keep our thoughts together if we surrender them to Him.

Fear is real. But God is bigger than whatever we fear today!

He’s got us.

Thank you all for your prayers. I appreciate you very much and I am doing great!

God bless you for continued love and prayers!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-27-24

by

Psalm 56:3-4 (LSB) 3 When I am afraid, I will trust in You. 4 In God, whose word I praise, In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?

Times of fear come for us all.

Events that cause fear are part of life.

Regardless of our heritage, our ethnicity, our spiritual understanding, our financial status, or our position in our career, we will face situations that cause us to be afraid.

What we do with that fear is entirely up to us. We choose whether it will rule over us, or we rule over it.

God created us with emotions. It is how we are wired. Our emotions are part of what makes us who we are. And we all handle them in our own unique way.

But it is important that we not allow our emotions to rule over us; to determine the direction our life takes.

Fear can be a big problem for some of us. It can cause us to make choices that we regret later in our lives if we fail to let the Holy Spirit help us navigate those situations that cause us to be fearful.

David faced many of these situations. He spent many years of his life looking over his shoulder, with his life at risk of being taken.

But because of his faith, he trusted God to protect him and calm his fears.

This is a perfect example for us to learn from and to follow.

What did David say about fear and the enemies who were determined to snuff him out?

He said, “I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?”

As it is with us. What can mere man do to us?

Our eternal destiny lies in the hands of God alone. What we face here during our earthly lifetimes will not change our eternal life.

We are here for but a moment. Our few years on earth pale in comparison to eternal life.

Let us not allow fear to rule over us. But let us trust in Him, the God who created us and breathed life into us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-2-15

by

Revelation 1:8 (NKJV) 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, ”says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

We don’t need to be afraid of anything today.

Our Father is the Alpha and the Omega!! He has given us what we need to defeat any giant that stands against what He is trying to do in us or through us.

He has given us wisdom, power and might through the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we can do what He calls us to do.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Even though we may know there are things we need to do, it doesn’t necessarily mean we can just start doing them right away. We need to get ready first, through training and preparation. Don’t just jump in head first. Let it happen in God’s time and in God’s way.

Do we think that David took out the giant with his own might, strength and knowhow?

1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV) 45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

No. David came to him in the name of the Lord, the One who taught him and trained him. David was being trained to fight this giant while doing what he was supposed to be doing in the fields, tending the flocks. His everyday stuff.

God taught Him, first, how to trust Him, by delivering him from his enemy, right on his job! So when it came time to fight the giant, he was ready and prepared. He had a knowing and a trust in the Lord because He had seen it for himself, firsthand.

1 Samuel 17:37 Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”

Being teachable is a big part of learning how to take out the giants in our lives. As we listen, and obey God, we experience it firsthand and it becomes a way of living!! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-24-13

by

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) For we walk by faith, not by sight.

We do not walk our walk by what we see. We walk our walk by faith in the unseen.

Every step that we take in our walk as a child of God, the Most High King, we take in faith.

When we lift our foot and move it forward, we step believing that when we put our foot down, the ground will be held up by God, our Father.

It is a hard thing sometimes… this faith walk. Our mind can play games with us, trying to trick us into believing only what we can see. But it’s faith that pleases God. So let’s keep pushing forward, even when we can’t see what’s next!

There are many of us today who are pushing so hard… we’re fighting to keep our faith intact. We’ve been hit very hard this year and sometimes it feels like we can’t even catch our next breath.

But God is bigger than our problems. We are bigger than our problems, even if we don’t feel like we are.

We have Christ in us. And in Christ, we are overcomers… more than conquerors. So we should never, ever give up and walk away.

Rise up today, in the name of Jesus, and shake off your fear, your slumber and your doubts. And do whatever it takes to take a step forward. And don’t ever, ever look back.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Hold your head high and be blessed in all you do.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-29-13

by

Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Anxiety. It’s something that a lot of people seem to struggle with these days. We live in a world full of things that can cause us to become anxious, stressed, worried or nervous.

But we are told in God’s word to be anxious for nothing! Anxiety is related to worrying. So what does the Bible say about worrying?

Matthew 6:27 (NKJV) Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

So we need to know and understand that we are not to worry, even though human nature would have us worrying about everything!

Many of us might try to relate anxiety to something that happened to us in our past.

But this is not so much of a psychological problem as it is a spiritual problem. Without getting too deep about it, let us try to explain what this means. The enemy (satan) commands various types of demonic spirits. These different spirits have different tasks. Some cause diseases, some cause division, some cause fear, etc.

Anxiety is, many times, caused by a spirit of fear. Spirits of fear are not from God. They are from the devil, the enemy of our soul. So if it is not from God, we need to know that we don’t have to put up with it or live with it.

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

As believers, we have the authority to rebuke these spirits of fear and command them to leave us alone and never come back.

Luke 10:19 (NKJV) Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

You can see in this verse that Jesus told us we have authority over all the power of the enemy. This includes spirits of fear, that cause us to worry or be anxious.

So the next time you start to become anxious, remind yourself that God has not given us a spirit of fear! Rebuke that spirit in the name of Jesus and tell it to leave you alone. And then set your mind on things above, not on things of this earth.

And then rest in God’s peace, knowing that He is on the throne and you are resting in His hands.
