No Fear!

WORDS OF WISDOM:  

NO FEAR 

Scripture: 

2 Timothy 1:7 

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Deuteronomy 31:6 

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you

My thoughts: 

In my studying this morning on fear, I came across some powerful people who had some amazing quotes on fear. Here are some of them: 

Quotes: 

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.

– Bertrand Russell

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

– Marcus Aurelius

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.

– Lucio in William Shakespeare’s "Measure for Measure"

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

– Dale Carnegie

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose misapplication of the word.

– Mark Twain

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

– Franklin D. Roosevelt

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

– Marie Curie

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

– Rosa Parks

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.

– Babe Ruth

Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, fear has no power, and fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

– Jim Morrison

Don’t fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.

– Bruce Lee

Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it.

– Judy Blume

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

– Nelson Mandela

Some powerful words. Let’s pray ...

MORNING PRAYER:

Lord, Thank you for waking us up this Saturday Morning. Thank you for your amazing power that works in our lives. Thank you for giving us a spirit that doesn’t have to fear. Thank you for your goodness and for your blessings over us. I'm thankful for new beginnings and know that you got my back, so far. I don’t have to be afraid  or be in fear.

Thank you for your great love and care. Thank you for your mercy and grace. Thank you that you are always with us and will never leave us. Thank you for your incredible sacrifice so that we might have freedom in this life. Forgive us for when we don't thank you enough, trust you for who you are, what you can do, for all that you do and for all that you've given us. Help us to set our eyes and our hearts on you. Renew our spirits, fill us with your peace and joy. We love you and we need you, this day and every day. We give you praise and thanks, for You alone are worthy, Father, thank you for your presence with us. Thank you for your Almighty Power. Thank you that you go before us and cover us on every side.  Thank you that you are in our peace and that our future is secure in the place you're preparing for us.

Thank you for being a restorer. Thank you, GOD, for being a healer, our provider, our protector our way maker. Remind us of your strength today. May we see glimpses of your glory and blessings along the way as we seek after you. For victory and salvation are found in you alone. Father I pray for your spirit to be with us and let us experience you like never before. Father I ask that you bless those that are less fortunate then us. Heavenly Father, meet the needs of those that don’t have a place to lay their heads and for the homeless to obtain shelter. Father, I’m praying for those dealing with mental health and PTSD. Open doors LORD of deliverance and help. I pray that you touch those that are sick in hospitals and nursing homes. I pray for those that are dealing with domestic violence. For help to get out of a toxic and dangerous situation. I pray for those are fighting the war. I pray for our soldiers and I pray for Ukraine. I pray for those that are incarcerated and for peace in this nation and peace in the middle east. I pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. It’s in the Mighty Name of JESUS I pray, Amen.  

Reflection: 

Father, I’m so thankful, that I don’t have to live in fear. I know as long as I got you I don’t have to be scared or in  fear. I’m have "come back" power because I have you. When we truly walk with you, we learn how to give it all to you. Ever problem, situation, feeling and thought and stop trying to do your job. For the word tells us that there is no fear in Christ JESUS. Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living in our own fears. What if this or that? Or, maybe it will happen, or won’t? We will not take a chance or even try, out of fear. Some of us have dreams that feels out of reach or unattainable because fear keeps us from chasing after them. You’re not alone. Too many of us allow caution to limit our aspirations and potential. Why do we put limits on GOD instead of going after what we truly want and trust we Got GOD with us? We let the fearful whispers of failure hold us back. But that nagging question — “What happens if I don’t make it?” — isn’t as scary as another question: “What happens if I don’t try?"

Fear itself, whether innate or learned, is not necessarily a bad thing. Fear is a survival mechanism and has helped keep humans safe since we first walked the Earth. It is part of our evolution: Fight-or-flight is better than doing nothing — and far better than paralysis — in a dangerous situation. At the same time, however, fear can hold us back or stop us from achieving our goals. So what if you try and it works or happens . Don’t sit back and wish for something and do nothing . The Bible tells us faith with our works is dead. Sometimes, we need to just do it afraid and trust the process. Know one thing, GOD got our back and we win in the end. Plus, trouble doesn't last long and after the rain, the sun does come out. We must try to overcome our fears and find courage. It may not be easy, but help is on hand: Over the centuries, many famous figures have given us their sage advice about how to conquer the fears that stand in our way. Step out today in faith and walk like you know who got your back and do it with no fear. No what it is. Whatever you can’t do it in your own strength, know that you are not alone. GOD is with you and already sent the reinforcements before you. So trust Him and the path he has you on and the directions He has you to take. Renew your mind. We WIN. No FEAR. 

Scripture:

Psalm 34:4 

I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

Matthew 6:25-34 

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."

Have a blessed Saturday family, friends and love ones. Have a blessed and prosperous weekend. Be safe and know that JESUS saves and He loves you. When the world leave or turn their backs on you, JESUS is right there. He got your back, your side and front. If you stay connected to GOD,  he got you. Trust that! Remember today to walk in no fear. JUST  DO IT!

JESUS is my Everything
