Fear leads to confusion. It is not of God it is from the prince of darkness.
Do not bow to fear…fear stops us and leads to bad decisions that can lead us into destruction with terrible consequences.
The Lord said, “Fear not!”
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. Mathew 10:28
Love Casts Out Fear
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1John 4:18
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. ~ Proverbs 3:5-6
I Peter 3:14 – But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. ‘Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.’
1 John 4:18 – There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Keep Pressing into the Kingdom…God shall give you strength, wisdom, and perserverance! Press!!

“And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have see today, ye shall see them again nor more forever ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
Hold on kids, stand strong and watch!! And cry out to the Lord our Christ who gave His life for us! Praise Jesus.
I’ve read the Old Testament and the New Testament, and God gives many examples of what happens when He finally invokes His wrath on those who mock and disrespect Him.
When Moses and the Israelites were backed up against the Red Sea, with Pharaoh’s powerful army heading toward them, look at what God inspired Moses to say at that critical moment:
13 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” – – (Exodus 14:13-14 – NKJV)
One part of that passage really stands out for me. Wouldn’t it be something if God applied the same principal today? We would not see those who disrespect God and persecute us, ever again. As it says above, “no more forever.” This is what God’s wrath can do.
God wiped out Pharaoh’s army in the Red Sea, and snuffed out Sodom, and brought down the walls of Jericho, on and on and on.
I want to abide (live and breathe) in God’s love, and I totally understand and respect God’s wrath. It is quick and it is complete, and we know it will be here soon.
Why would anyone laugh at God and ignore His coming wrath?
Verse 14 in the Exodus passage above reiterates the verses quoted by Dianne in this article — “The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” – – So since that is true, then fear not, and abide in Him.
John832
If you are a Christian you don’t have to fear. The Word of God says in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of sound mind.” Also, in Ephesians 1:13, “In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your Salvation: in whom also, after that you believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.” KJV We have the power of God living in us. Third our days are numbered by God, and Satan can not kill us if we belong to Christ. Job argued with God in Job chapters 13 and 14 and Job told God in 14:5 “You have decided the length of our lives. You know how many months we will live, and we are not given a minute longer.” New Living Translation So we should not fear anything, as long as Jesus is our Lord and Savior.
If you are reading this and you have not received the Salvation of Jesus Christ, it is simple. The Lord tells us in Romans 5:8, ” But God commands His love for us, in that , while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Also in Romans 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” and in Romans 3:23, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; and in 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” KJV Romans 10:8b-10,13 tells us Salvation is for everyone. “The message is close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart. And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. For Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” New Living Translation.
Don’t tarry for the return of Jesus for His Church is imminent, meaning He could return any minute, no one knows the hour or the day. But remember we are not promised tomorrow. Jesus loves you so much and so do I. Neither of us wants you to be left behind.
God bless you, Helen. Thank you sincerely for sharing the gospel. It is truly the only thing that will change the world. #JesusSaves 🙏💕😊
Fear is dissipating, it is losing its hold! We are Winning the war! Thank you, Lord!
Fear…my struggle with fear is different than what others might think. My big problem is that I can barely handle being around fearful people with fearful attitudes. I know this isn’t a loving posture for me to have… I’m trying to work through it, but I’ve stumbled a lot. I realize that I need to let go of my negative attitude toward those who are reeking of fear… it feels so toxic to be in their presence. It’s as though it takes every ounce of my focus to stand strong in faith…and when someone fearful comes along, I want to run the other way…I don’t run, but I want to. Instead, I’m trying to stay and be a faith-filled influence… But, honestly, I’m not doing such a great job with it yet. I’m leaning in to the Lord for help, aiming for more love and less frustration toward those fearful ones. God is helping me. 🙏💖
Good morning Deb – now you are ‘scaring’ me because you have always been a rock (star)! I say go ahead and run away from negative people – no one is forcing you to be around them. Maybe these people have an evil spirit around them and they can’t help it….look into ‘smudging’ (burning some sage) since evil spirits hate the smell. The people might just run away from you!
I have been alone for almost a week due to hubby gone hunting. Earlier in the summer, I organized closets and this time I went through old personal notes and hate letters. I have gone through a lot of sage. Just remember to open a lot of windows to ‘let them go on’…tell them to help someone else and enjoy the fresh air.
The other night my son sent me an article about Ivermectin and of course the negativity about it (because he is a scientist). I sent him an article from NE Attorney General Gene Peterson supporting ivermectin….today I will work on horse jokes and everything horse….pictures of ‘parasites’ (haha – you know the faces)….because parasites fear ivermectin. Does a parasite have a brain? (well, maybe a tiny one) But they do live for the moment like many libs. Parasites cause trouble in your gut just as negative people do.
Steve Bannon wrote/spoke about psychological warfare on Monday. Yes, it’s scary to hear about rising food prices and gas. Yes, it’s scary to hear about ‘mandates’ and layoffs, etc. But people are taking a stand against the vax. And yes, families need to stick together but this is where my psy. warfare/battle/brain terrorism comes into play. Since my kids don’t want me to be around them or their kids until I get vaxxed, I am preparing for more ‘social distancing’. What will my almost 5 year old grandson think when grandma is not around due to not taking a vax? Will grandpa visit without me? In Feb., will I have to sit in the car and see the new baby through a window? Will I not get to hold him? Do I need to invest in a hazmat suit?
I can only hope and pray that after this heavy fog lifts up, they will understand I stood up for my principals and I will always defend the unborn. I will always have a warped sense of humor (since humor is based on pain) and my actions speak louder than words.
Last night as I was starting to clean the bank (my ‘other’ job), I saw the bank prez. I asked him: “Is everyone still covid-free”….of course I was being sarcastic but he didn’t know that….he said he thought so but it’s ‘still out there’. Oh my gosh…..and so is pneumonia, influenza, – even STD’s! Yes, the monsters are still under the bed – they always will be! Then I said: “well, we have done pretty good in the last 18 months rightttt?” That was also sarcasm because the bank people have lived in such fear and my friendships have ceased with the employees. (I think they were all coerced to get the vax but I was in a different category). They continue to have their meetings in the ‘basement’ (instead of the fancy conference room) so I guess there is no need for me to clean that room….such stupidity based on ignorance. I can only pray for them.
Hang in there Deb….and fasten your seat belt – it’s gonna be a bumpy ride. It is what it is. This too shall pass. Did I leave anything out? Our lives on teetering on the military and who will they listen to? When the elites make up mandates, people will be guided by God. Avoid hospitals because they are becoming a battle ground. (it is a problem if you have a bone sticking out of your arm though – or if you need a hip replacement because those people are put at the bottom of a list – so be careful, exercise, eat right, and use coconut oil to cook with). All we can do is build our immune system and prepare for more battles.
I read what Deb is saying as having a hard time being unequally yoked. We are not to be that. In our day to day doings…we are to not be among those who are not of our mindset, but that is not to say to not be kind and help them and that is to say we don’t hang with them. I see what Deb is saying…that we are not to be of them…but we are to love them inspite of themselves and that is a tricky thin line to walk. Hating even the garment upon them. Yet, saving some and pulling them out of the fire as it says in Jude.
It’s so easy to want to just respond in the flesh and say what we would like in the flesh and walk away. It’s best to just walk away and hold the tongue or should I say good? We have to tolerate but we don’t have to be among them and subject ourselves to their negativity. Scriptures tell us there were times Jesus had to escape from such angry people for it was not yet his time. We must be wise and always watching and ready to move to the left or to the right and maneuver out of the path of such who don’t have our best interests at heart. That has everything to do with being strong in the Lord…for without Him, we would never be able to rise above the evil darts some throw with great aim. Sometimes when a dart smacks me…I unleash a few myself. Sometimes it’s warranted and sometimes it’s not…when it’s not…I have to apologize. Why? Because the Lord is who lays that on my heart to do. So maneuvering without having to apologize is the goal. Smile. It’s a learning process for sure.
Unevenly yoked with people who are fearful. Is what she is having a hard time with.
Yes, JPWjr… I am definitely having difficulty with my attitude toward loved ones who I’m unequally yoked and who remain in fear. Bless you for wording it so succinctly…. it helps me to move toward a better attitude. 💖🙏
Deb, Dutchess says to read Proverbs 2.
You are describing what my mom would say to me, “TOXIC people. Stay away from them.” ;^)
There are many scriptures, especially in the new testament that tell us to stay away from these people. I guess the best thing to do is…smile, give them the peace sign, and walk away.
Smile: show the joy of the Lord in your face
Peace sign: speak scripture (one verse, that’s all).
Walk away: almost like what Jesus did when He was in the small boat AWAY from the crowd
You can do it, Deborah. Being in the Ark of the strength of God is what I call tough love!
ps…you are NOT ALONE in this battle..I feel your anguish.
Thank you for your comments, Isolated, Dianne and Alegal. You are helping me to gain different perspectives and I appreciate it. Some of my extended family members are remaining in fear and I am needing to hold my tongue and distance myself from them. While I’m wrestling with my flesh, which wants to tell them off, instead the Lord is helping me to be “quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger.”. Maybe someday soon, I’ll have an open door in which to share a big dose of truth with them. Until then, I’ll need to proceed with caution and keep my distance (or I may say something that only divides and doesn’t heal).
Thanks for helping me to feel less alone. While we are all doing our best to stay strong, this whole season has challenged us in very personal ways. God bless you all. #Strongr2gethr4Christ. 🙏💖😊
Keep right on leaning in to Father, Deborah; and the best answer for you will come as Isaiah 48:17 tells us. You are in my Prayers.
Ejes, thank you, dear friend. 💖🙏😊
Hope you get that worked out. Those things you mentioned are definitely tendencies of most liberals
Dear Deb,It has been my experience in this walk that God always brings the people into our lives that causes struggle in us.At first I would get upset because I was wanting peace and this wasn’t it.But then I learned that God wants us to walk in the Son.Jesus was not disrespectful to the ignorant ones that didnt know His ways.He sat with them and loved them.He ate amongst them.He says perfect Love casts out all fear.But each of us has secret fears that we do not acknowledge.If it were not so then ,the scripture that says ,what times I am afraid I will trust in the Lord ,would not have needed to be spoken.The Word tells us to bear the burden of the weaker little ones.How will we get close enough to them to help them to learn to be strong if their weaknesses offend us.I have learned (that was a long process),to accept people where they are ,to be able to help them to where they need to be.Gentleness with ourselves helps us to see more clearly into the needs of others.Don’t judge yourself so much.They are in your life for a reason.Usually it is for us to grow in the ways of God.You will find that instead of them being toxic to you,the spirits that they are to little in their walk to fight off will flee from you.You will become a person in this area ,that brings deliverance to these little ones.Then God is Glorified and Christ is seen in us.I love and appreciate the Word you speak so often here.It strengthens my soul.Be Blessed as you walk out your salvation.
Thank you so much, Rachel. Healing heart power is showering down as I read your message. The Lord is giving me my breakthrough… out of the flesh and into deeper fellowship with him… Just yesterday, I was finally able to reach out to my sibling with a better attitude of love. My flesh has been a stumbling block, but progress is coming. PTL… We are growing into our savior’s image, from glory to glory… Hallelujah and amen. 😊💕🙏
I do not fear them. I believe in god and always have.
I don’t fear them…far from it…it takes all my good to keep me from blasting back at them. I have learned to pity most all of them, but some of them when they attack my Lord I can’t hold back. And I never feel guilty at those times either. Smile.
Thank you for the Spiritual Uplift!
