Jesus has all it takes to address your fears. ( Click here for more details. )

Jesus has all it takes to address your fears.
John  6:16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,  6:17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.  6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.  6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.  6:20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.  6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. 

Beloved brethren, our Lord Jesus Christ, the blessed Holy Spirit  and our Father in heaven taught saints of God, what to fear and how to do it. 

God the Father taught His saints, including you in particular to fear Him. 

Jeremiah  5:22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?  5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Luke  12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.  12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

The blessed Holy Spirit. 

Isaiah  8:9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.  8:10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.  8:11 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,  8:12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.  8:13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.  8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

And then finally the blessed Holy Spirit taught saints of God, how to fear Him. 

Hebrews  12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Job  28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Proverbs  3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Proverbs  8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Exodus 1:17
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

Nehemiah 5:15
But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

Proverbs 24:21
My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

Malachi 3:16
Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

Hebrews  11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 

Unfortunately, some people inside and outside of the church don’t fear God.

Jeremiah 2:19
Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

But you shall fear God according to God’s unchanging unfailing eternal infallible words.

When you have done this, then nothing of satan should terrify you or make you afraid. 

Philippians  1:28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

This is because satan’s weapons shall not prosper neither can he or his cohorts 

Isaiah  54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Luke  10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.  10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.  10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

But then in your walk with God, you will meet with things from physical and natural point that can make you afraid.

For instance, when you are threatened with the furnace of fire of king Nebuchadnezzar. 

When you are to be thrown into the den of lions .

When Jezebel threatened to kill you for killing her baal prophets and you run like Elijah did 

When king Herod had killed James and he had apprehended you, planing to kill you at appointed day .

Any of these from natural point of view can make you afraid. Listen to this, by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ..

Mark  4:35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.  4:36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.  4:37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.  4:38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?  4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?  4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Remember and don’t ever forget thet fear Is not ordinary.  It is a spirit being wielded by satan, to overcome you.

2 Timothy  1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Romans  8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

It is for this reason that both from the old and new testaments, God says to you, fear not.  Listen.

Matthew  10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.  10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.  10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.  10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.  10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Luke  5:6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.  5:7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.  5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.  5:9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:  5:10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.  5:11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

Luke  12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Acts  27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.  27:21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.  27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.  27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,  27:24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.  27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.  27:44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

Hebrews  13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Revelation  1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.  1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,  1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.  1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;  1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.  1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;  1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.  1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.  1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:  1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Listen to instance of Jesus personally, allaying your fears.

Luke  8:49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.  8:50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.  8:51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.  8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.  8:53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.  8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.  8:55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.  8:56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they sjhould tell no man what was done.

Beloved Brethren is there any challenge making you to be afraid and fearful?

Jesus said, fear not only believe and all shall be well, because He will allay your fear and provide solution to the challenge according to His timing.

He came to deliver Peter, before Herod could kill him.

Acts  12:6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.  12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.  12:8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.  12:9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.  12:10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.  12:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

This shall be your experience in Jesus name.
