Believe and Don't Fear

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying,

Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. – Luke 8:50

In bible God says so many times “Fear not”.  As God is repeat saying fear not, not to fear, that shows we are having fear.  In our Christian life whenever we get fear we are losing something.   Whenever you get fear you are losing your faith.  When we get fear we fall from the faith in God and start believing what Satan teaches and show you.   How more faith you may have, but when you get fear your faith will stops working. 

How fears come?  You are having worry about your feature.  You are having worry about your children. You have worry about your business and your financial situation.   This worry brings fear in you.  When youget worry and start thinking then fears comes.  Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?(Mat 6:25)  

 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?(Luke 12:26)  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.(Phil 4:6)  Fear is the weapon of Satan, God has not given you the spirit of fear.  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.(2Tim 1:7)  And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?    And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.  And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.

And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.(2Kings 6:15-17)  As the servant of Elisha get fear in this incident in the same way you get fear worldly.  The truth here is the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about them.  God is with you.  So no matter what comes against you, it can never prevail over you.  Don’t get fear on seeing the outward situation. 

 To see the truth, pray to God to open your eyes.  Focus your eyes on the word of God and His promises.  Truth in God and have faith in His promise and cast out the fear from you.   Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.(Deut 31:6)  You are precious in the sight of God. 

 Always trust God.  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.(Luke 12:7)  There will be struggles. There will be trials. But these are just opportunities to overcome so fear not.  God has promised to be with you, and to help you.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whither soever thou goest. – Joshua 1:9

God's Word - our spiritual Weapon

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.    But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.  - Matthew 4:3-4

When Jesus was tempted, Jesus did not use any supernatural powers to resist the devil. Jesus simply quoted the written Word of God to the devil.   This is the footsteps of Jesus we have to follow.  Jesus Christ is showing us how to overcome the attacks of our enemy.  Here Satan is also quoted the word of God like Jesus Christ.  But Satan twisted the meaning.  Jesus responded Satan only with another verse from the Bible.   And said unto him, If you be the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written,  

He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.    Jesus said unto him, It is written again, You shall not tempt the Lord your God. (Mat 4:6-7)  In this whole incident we will see that quoting the written Word was the only defense Jesus used against the devil. Nothing else. 

 In our life we are facing so many problems and trials, if we like to overcome Satan and live a victorious life; we must use the word of God as your weapons against Satan.  God's Word in our mouth is our spiritual weapon.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Eph 6:17)  As we are going to overcome Satan through the word of God, it is important to read the word of God and walk according to the word of God.  Yet it is not enough to just read the Bible or meditate it. 

 When Satan brings thoughts that are not in agreement with the word of God, we must speak the Word to the devil who is behind those thoughts.  He will run away from us.  Then said Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.    Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. (Mat 4:10-11)

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death  - Revelation 12:11

To get rid of Temptation

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. –

 1Corinthians:10:13  

Many times in our life we face temptations which remove our faith.  Many times we reach the situation where we won’t able to bear any more under such circumstances God tells you that “no temptation taken you but such as is common to man”. When you face problems and struggles in your life continuously what are you doing?  Are you tired of thinking about your problems and talking about it?  Or you are looking un to God with faith, that Jesus will remove it.  If you go on thinking about your problems then the struggles will never see the end. 

Once Amalekites captured the wives, sons and daughters of David and his people, who were with him.  “Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.    And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.  And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” (1Sam 30:4-6) 

David and the people who were with him, looked at their problems and were crying without any hope.  Because of this they could not find any results for their problems.  Word of God says “David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.”   David got back everything that he lost when he looked unto God, without looking in to the problems.
Your problems may seem huge in front of you today. 

 But in the eyes of God it is nothing.  God can do everything in your life.  He can deliver you at once.   But you have to trust on him and look upon God.  His wishes you to look at Him and not your problems.  Therefore ever your problems seem to remove your faith, look un to God without looking at your problems.  God hasn’t forgotten you.  He hasn’t left you alone.  You must remember that his eyes are upon you.  Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)(Heb 10:23)  Satan is stealing your faith. 

Your are unable to speak faith words because of this.  When you speak faith words he is showing you your circumstances.  Don’t doubt God’s help, but believe in God’s word which tells about your situation and confess it.  My God is faithful, He will not allow me the temptation more than I can bear, God will also give me a way to escape from that temptation and I will be able to endure it.  Confess this, you will see the miracle now.  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.    He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.(Ps 91:14-15)

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. - Isaiah 40:31

Let us Be with HIM always

And Ruth said, In treat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: - Ruth 1:16

We understand here that Ruth stubbornly refuses to return back leaving her mother-in-law.  Ruth is a gentile and she does not know the God of Israel.  He belongs to the clan of Moabites.  Those days Moabite clan was treated as impure.  This heritage was from Lot and his elder daughter.  Therefore the Lord despises Moabites.   An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD forever.(Deut 23:3). 

 Ruth was married to Chilion from the clan of Israel.  Naomi is her Mother-in-law.  They met with many problems and trials at Moab.  Husband of Ruth died in Moab.  Naomi decided to return back to her home land namely Israel.  And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.(Ruth 1:14).  Orpah one of her daughter in laws stayed in Moab.  And Ruth said, In treat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:  Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried:

The LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me and Ruth followed Naomi.  God bless the determination of Ruth and blessed her in the land of Israel.  Her name is written in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.  nd Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;(Mat 1:5). 

 Therefore dearly beloved just like Ruth who followed her mother-in-law came to Israel and inherited all the blessing likewise you follow Jesus Christ and inherit the eternal life.  And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.(1Jn 2:25).  Apostle had a vision that a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.  Who are these people? They are the people who follow the Lamb.   These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb.(Rev 14:4).  How do you follow Jesus?  Many of you are of two minds.

  Sometimes you fallow life of spirit with faith, sometimes you backslide and become tired.  Sometimes you are zealot and sometimes you are cold.  And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, how long halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.(1Kings 18:21).   I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.(Rel 3:15-16). 

Jesus Christ has set an example to follow him.   For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:   Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:   Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:    Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.   For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. (1Pet 2:21-25).

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. – Matthew 19:28

Abraham 's(father of faith) Blessings of God

The LORD had blessed Abraham in every way. - Genesis 24:1

And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. - Genesis 13:2

Abraham's blessing also extended to his descendants as they walked with God.  And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac - Genesis 25:11

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.    And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:   For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. - Genesis 26:12-14

As the blessings of Abraham comes upon his descendants, as we have faith in Jesus and we are the descendants of Abraham.  Through faith we will inherit Abraham blessing.  For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. - Romans 4:13   so then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. - Galatians 3:9

Jesus Christ is heir of this entire world.  By faith we are the joint-heirs with Christ.  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.    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.   

The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Romans 8:14-17

Through the promise of God this month we will inherit Abraham blessings.  May god bless You.
