I WILL NOT BE AFRAID !


(Heb 13:6) ….."THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"


Lord, You are God. We are Your people. You are the Creator, we are among the created. You, Abba, are our Father and we love You with all of our heart, all of our mind, all of our soul. Let us open our hearts and receive Your Word; through Holy Scripture, as we worship Your Hallowed Majesty, in Christ, Amen.


(Rom 8:35, 37) Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.


Can you even imagine the darkness and the horror for those who do not believe? Even through Satan's feel-good claims of happiness, deep down inside, those absent Christ know they are doomed.


(Luk 12:4-5) "I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. "But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!


When we are tested, we are never alone. The Holy Spirit guides, and the Lord protects. When our foot begins to slip, we hold to Him and He reestablishes our footing.


(Mat 5:10-12) "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. "Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.


None were persecuted more than our Christ, or His Apostles. The testimony of Paul is rich in reflecting the very character of His savior, who gave HIS all that we may be freed of sin and the sentence of death forever.


(Act 20:24) "But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.


(Psa 119:46) I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings And shall not be ashamed.


Never be ashamed or shy in telling the TRUTH to others. Just as the beautiful hymn reminds; “It is no secret what God can do, what He's done for others, He'll do for you.......”
