"Fear no more"

So the church leaders asked, "What is hindering you to serve Him?"

Paused. I thought for a while. Because of fear, i told myself silently.

Then God spoke to me, "Why are you afraid?"

I kept silent and went into my thoughts again. But this time i couldn't gave an answer, beacuse i cannot find any reason why i should fear, I gave my "reasons", but He ANSWERED ALL.

Then again I heard Him say, "Fear no more."

I know God was reassuring me that in Him there is no fear. Because He has overcome all fears. 1 John 4:4 says, "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who lives in you is greater than the one who is in the world." Followed by Paul in Romans 8:37, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."

So no more excuses, no more reasons whatsoever. He has it all under control.

Afraid to speak?
- "Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say" Exodus 4:12

Afraid or not knowing how to pray?
- "for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say." Luke 12:12
-"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the   Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." Romans 8:26

Afraid how people may think of you? Fear of being alienated, persecuted?
- "Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later" Romans 8:18

Afraid that you are unable to do what God wants you to do?
-"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13

There is really no reason to fear. Fearing however, because the lack of faith and love. But God is gracious, He gave us faith through His words. "Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ." Romans 10:17
And in love, there is no fear. For perfect love drives out fear. Therefore, love the Lord Your God with all your heart and with all Your soul and with all Your mind and with all Your strength. Mark 12:30

Hallelujah, glory to Him!

The Lord is my light and my salvation -

whom shall i fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life -

of whom shall i be afraid?

Psalm 27:1
