Jesus does not want you to be fearful of anyone or anything!

9/25/2018

In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Psalm 56 NKJV

What things scare you?

David is praying for protection against his enemies again. I can’t help wondering why?

David killed a lion and a bear. He defeated Goliath. David knew God was with him. The mighty warrior with a heart after God’s own feared what his enemies might do to him!

When we look out into the great unknown we become fearful.

God does not want us to look back to Egypt (the days of bondage in the land of unbelief). He does not want us to borrow troubles from tomorrow. He wants us to trust Him today. He wants us to walk boldly and confidently through life because He is with us.

For you have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living? Vs 13

Sometimes I worry about the future. Should I fear what tomorrow may bring?

The Lord delivered me from death more than once. He kept me from falling on my face more times than I can count. I walk before God in the light of His love today. I will walk with Jesus in eternity.

The biggest mistake we can make is not looking at our trails in the light of eternity.

When I consider the hardships my family and I experience I look past them. God is training me to be a spiritual warrior. He is molding and shaping me into a person He can use to accomplish His purposes today.

God is training you to be a spiritual warrior. He is molding and shaping you into a person who can be used for His glory and honor today.

The time we live on the Earth is only a small fraction of our eternal existence. If we look at life from an eternal perspective, we can endure any hardship with joy and thanksgiving.

Jesus is at work in the world today. He is at work in our lives today. Trust Him. Do not be fearful of anyone or anything. No man woman or created thing can really harm you. You are an eternal being created in the image and likeness of God.

You can walk before Jesus in the light of His love today. You can walk with Jesus in the land of the living throughout eternity!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Jesus does not want you to be fearful of anyone or anything!
