Have No Fear, God Is Near

Have you ever just stopped and asked yourself what in the world is going on??

Yes, no, or maybe so; you may be thinking about right now and, yet those seven words “What in the world is going on” have been spoken millions of times as a normal figure of speech to convey and describe our inability to comprehend, understand or even fathom what is taking place at any given time in the world or in our lives.

Things can happen so quickly and take a turn in a total opposite direction going from calm, cool and collected to being upset, unsettled and unruly.

The issues of life and the cares and concerns of things that are taking place in the world can often take you for a ride or take you for a spin that may result in something spiraling out of control in a matter of seconds or minutes.

But nevertheless, remember that we serve a God who is always in control, though things may seem out of control.   

Though war may outbreak in the world and warfare may outbreak in your life, God is whispering to you “Do not fear for I am with you.”

Isaiah 41:13 NIV states “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”  

Though the challenge that confronts you may seem overwhelming, don’t let what seems to be a fight make you lose your sight, because the storm is passing over.

You must not allow any conflict, strife, or struggle in your life or in the world become a stumbling block or a roadblock due to fear of the unknown or worrying about the outcome.  

It is through our day-to-day journey of life that God desires for us to pray and seek Him with our whole hearts.  We must seek Him in the good times and in the bad times and know that the timing for all things is in His hands.

2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV states “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Psalm 145:18 NIV states “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”

God is your help, God is your shield, God is your protection, and the Victory is yours in and through Christ Jesus!! 

So, stop worrying about it and keep on praying about it, “Victory over war” and “Victory over warfare” shall be yours.

It is time for us to unify in a War Cry to God by asking Him to heal our hearts, minds, and spirits by unifying us as one and to take away anything that is not like Him and in doing so, we are able to exercise the power and authority that God has given us to proclaim the victory over war and warfare throughout the world and in our lives. 

We must decree and declare that the battle has been fought and the war has been won, for the battle is not ours it belongs to the Lord, and the battle and war has already been won through the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Calvary’s Cross.

In conclusion, the next time fear shows up, be sure to dismiss it by adhering to God’s Word as recorded in Psalm 118:6-7 which states “The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.  What can man do to me?  The Lord is with me; he is my helper.” 

Love, Joy, Peace, Power, and Hope be with you,
