Challenging Question From Holy Spirit: No Fear (Pt. II)

God's Beloved1 Comment

There are many scriptures in the Bible that tell us not to be afraid. I have included a number of them below (from the AMP version).

(2 Timothy 1:7)- For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.

(Isaiah 35:4)- Say to those who are of a fearful and hasty heart, Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance; with the recompense of God He will come and save you.

(John 14:27)- Peace I [Jesus] leave with you; My peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

(Joshua 1:9)- Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

(Psalms 23:4)- Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

(Psalms 27:1)- The Lord is my Light and my Salvation- whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid?

I found the chapter/verse of the scriptures at the following web-page

(https://www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/fear-bible-verses/ )

and posted the translation from my personal Bible (The Everyday Life Bible which contains notes and commentary by Joyce Meyer). If you want to see more scriptures that discuss fear, I recommend taking a look at the full list!

Scriptures like the ones I have included in this post are true for you today and every day. You do not need to fear!

We are the children of the One True God, and He calls us His own! We never have to be afraid because we can always call upon our Heavenly Father. When fear tries to creep in, that is an attempt of the enemy to break us down and drive a wedge between us and God. Our raw humanity is all too eager to cling onto fear rather than trust in the Lord . We cannot allow fear to overtake us! We do not want even a single seed of fear in our minds!

When you feel fear or worry coming on, think about how much God loves you and how you can trust Him to take care of every situation!

It is also very beneficial to talk to the Lord/Holy Spirit and read the Bible!

As your sibling in Christ, I want you to live your best blessed life! I hope this discussion of the challenging question I posted a few days ago has helped you!

Feel free to comment, and please share this post with people you know who could benefit from it!

The Fire of Love (Faith Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

Playing with love

Is like playing with fire

♦~♦

We can feel warm and cozy

But the consequences can be quite dire

♦~♦

Anyone who says that love is a game

Is certainly a dangerous liar

♦~♦

Love is deep

And has roots like thorny briers

♦~♦

It can be very beautiful and grand

Or as dark and confused as a mire

♦~♦

We have the love of God, our Heavenly Father,

And no love is higher

♦~♦

His love is captivating

Like the music of a lyre

♦~♦

We must guard the love in our hearts

And not lightly grant it to the first buyer

♦~♦

But we can deeply love our Lord

And let our love reach heavenward like a spire

Winter (Faith Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

We all experience winter

In different ways

♦~♦

Some may feel a chill in the air

Others may experience weather more fair

♦~♦

A winter of the heart

Can sting like icy darts

Or create a slow, dull rhythm

♦~♦

A winter season of life

May seem bleak

It may make you feel

Frozen and weak

♦~♦

We all know winter

In our unique ways

What kind of winter are you facing today?

Christians Playing in the Dirt of This World

God's BelovedLeave a comment

As Christians, we have to be very careful when we play in the dirt of this world. When we speak poorly of people, break our promises, use rude language, or engage in other activities that we know the Lord would disapprove of, we walk further and further away from our Heavenly Father. The Lord will not smite you, and you will (typically) remain saved (unless you choose to stop believing in Jesus), but you will not be walking in all that God wants for you. So remember, though it may be fun to be a part of the world, we are to distinguish ourselves as children of the Most High God and to walk along the perfect path God has created for each of us.

Giftings (Faith Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

Each of us has a special gift

Given to us by the Lord

Some use it as God designed

While others have different goals to move toward

♦~♦

You may not know your gifting

Or may not believe you have one

But be assured,

When you walk with Him

Things in your life will start shifting

And your gift will be revealed

♦~♦

The enemy wants to destroy your gift

He wants to leave you empty and broken

But God has spoken!

You are His child

And the devil can create no rift

That the Lord cannot heal!

♦~♦

Walk in confidence and joy

You will not succumb to any demonic ploy!

God will be with you

He will reveal your gift

And His perfect plan

Your heart He will continually renew!

Whispers (Faith Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

So quiet

The whispers

They imitate the truth

So I can’t deny it

♦~♦

Words from the enemy

They try to slip in

They try to anger and confuse me

They tempt me to sin

♦~♦

Where can I find respite?

I am so desperate

To rid myself of the dark darts

That exist only to break hearts

♦~♦

I come to you Lord

Show me an escape

That you can guide me toward

That will lead me to peace!

♦~♦

He shows me the cross and the kingdom’s keys

He shows me what He sees

That they represent

All the power I’ll ever need!
