CHAPTER 1

FEAR NOT

God Is with You

The Lord spoke his word to Abram in a vision: "Abram, don't be afraid. I will defend you, and I will give you a great reward."Genesis 15:1 NCV

* * *

[Jesus] said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself."Luke 24:38–39

* * *

Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.Mark 15:43 NASB


When fear shapes our lives, safety becomes our god. When safety becomes our god, we worship the risk-free life. Can the safety-lover do anything great? Can the risk-averse accomplish noble deeds? for God? for others? No.

The fear-filled cannot love deeply. Love is risky.

They cannot give to the poor. Benevolence has no guarantee of return.

The fear-filled cannot dream wildly. What if their dreams sputter and fall from the sky?

The worship of safety emasculates greatness. No wonder Jesus wages such a war against fear.

Fearless


Be strong and brave. Don't be afraid ... and don't be frightened, because the Lord your God will go with you. He will not leave you or forget you.Deuteronomy 31:6 NCV

* * *

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:6–7


Christ cautions us against taking up membership in the fraternity of Woe-Be-Me: "Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life" (Matthew 6:25 AMP).

Jesus doesn't condemn legitimate concern for responsibilities but rather the continuous mind-set that dismisses God's presence. Destructive anxiety subtracts God from the future, faces uncertainties with no faith, and tallies up the challenges of the day without entering God into the equation.

Worry is the darkroom where negatives become glossy prints.

Fearless


The Lord appeared to him that night and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Don't be afraid, because I am with you."Genesis 26:24 NCV

* * *

The Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; for I am with you."Acts 18:9–10

* * *

Where can I flee from Your presence? ... If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.Psalm 139:7, 9–10


Mark it down. You will never go where God is not. You may be transferred, enlisted, commissioned, reassigned, or hospitalized, but—brand this truth on your heart—you can never go where God is not.

Every Day Deserves a Chance


He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.Psalm 107:9

Don't be afraid of what they fear; do not dread those things. But remember that the Lord All-Powerful is holy.Isaiah 8:12–13 NCV

The angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said."Matthew 28:5–6


Oversized and rude, fear is unwilling to share the heart with happiness. Happiness complies. Do you ever see the two together?

Can one be happy and afraid at the same time?

Clear thinking and afraid?

Confident and afraid?

Merciful and afraid?

No. Fear is the big bully in the high school hallway: brash, loud, and unproductive. For all the noise fear makes and room it takes, fear does little good.

Fearless


[The angel] said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!"Daniel 10:19

* * *

Even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."1 Peter 3:14

* * *

There stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, saying, "Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar."Acts 27:23–24


"The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them" (Psalm 34:7). Let that truth lower your anxiety level! The wealthiest of the world don't have the protection God's servants give you.

God sends his best troops to oversee your life. Imagine the president assigning his Secret Service to protect you, telling his agents to motorcade your car through traffic and safeguard you through crowds. How would you sleep if you knew D.C. 's finest guarded your door? How will you sleep knowing heaven's finest are doing just that? You are not alone. Receive God's lordship over your life. Heaven's many, mighty angels watch over you.

Come Thirsty


Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.Psalm 31:24

* * *

Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.Luke 12:32

* * *

Say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God ... will come and save you."Isaiah 35:4


Fear never wrote a symphony or poem, negotiated a peace treaty, or cured a disease.

Fear never pulled a family out of poverty or a country out of bigotry.

Fear never saved a marriage or a business.

Courage did that. Faith did that.

People who refused to consult or cower to their timidities did that. But fear itself? Fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors.

Wouldn't it be great to walk out?

Fearless


Suppose you could relive your life without any guilt, lust, vengeance, insecurity, or fear. Would you be different?

God changes the man by changing the mind. And how does it happen? As Christ dominates your thoughts, he changes you from one degree of glory to another until—hang on!—you are ready to live with him.

Heaven is the land of sinless minds. Absolute trust. No fear or anger. Shame and second-guessing are practices of a prior life. Heaven will be wonderful, not because the streets are gold, but because our thoughts will be pure.

So what are you waiting on? Give God your best thoughts and see if he doesn't change your mind.

Next Door Savior


Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.Colossians 3:2 NASB


Being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent...
