FEAR NOT
Proverbs 9:1 (KJV)
1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
Greetings precious saints of God, rejoice for we who are in the Kingdom of God are sealed unto the day of our full redemption! Oh, what a day dear ones! If you are reading this and not in the Kingdom of God, don’t let another second go by, cry out to the Lord Jesus the only Savior. Please take a moment and share this Bible teaching from the Book of Isaiah as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you so much for sharing. The featured picture today and attendant picture is to remind us all to pray regularly for the “seven pillars” of society. These are established by God not the world, not Satan. Banking and finance are as much a part of the Christians life as family or any other of the seven spheres of influence. Let me ask a question. Is great abundant wealth in this life a Bible teaching or is poverty in this life a Bible teaching? Perhaps some prefer the us four and no more. Is that a Bible teaching?
Before I move forward, I want to extend an invitation to all who are not partners to become partners with this Ministry. I have written several books which are available on Amazon.

Now, let’s focus our attention on today’s primary Bible text continuing to read out loud.
Isaiah 44:1-5 (KJV)
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
5 One shall say, I am the LORD’S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
Wow, we are on the verge of another month and don’t the Mondays seem to come really quick? We see over and over in Scripture, not just in today’s text, the Lord saying, I will help you. What better help can one get than that of the creator of all, the One with all knowledge, all Power, and is always around. We are not nearly as God is with me and God is in me minded as we are of the natural things around about us. It seems to me when we put the spiritual realities above, far above, what our five physical senses and human natural knowledge and reasonings tell us we will walk like the undefeatable giants we really are.
And again, we see the command, not a try to, but a command to fear not. If our Heavenly Father tell us not to fear we are well able. Otherwise, we would conclude not only does He not love us but He is a child abuser. Fear brings torment, blocks love (agapē/ agapaō), makes faith inoperative, and throws the door wide open to our spiritual enemies. The sense or feeling of fear and having fear or two far different things. Fear is a spirit and we will sense it, feel it but only we can choose to let it into us. Fear, never comes from God.
2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Listen to and consider the Words of Jesus.
John 16:33 (KJV)
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
As an aside the word “tribulation” here means pressure not trouble like poverty, sickness, etc. Jesus overcame the world, the world system, the system of the curse and thus we have also for we are in Him. The authority He had over the curse and gave to us means our path is one of overcoming not succumbing to what we see in the natural.
1 John 4:4 (KJV)
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Who is the “he that is in you”? Let’s not be Peter but follow in the footsteps of our Lord.
Matthew 14:30 (KJV)
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow.

2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. (Bold added)
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Bold added)
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
