To overcome fear we must remember the promises of God.
Soon the day will be here when the Lord will return. Therefore, His children must quickly carry out what He commanded us before He left. Give sight to those who are blind as to who Jesus is, and to show those who think they know Him – what they lack in knowledge. Jesus said, “Those who know Me recognize My voice. I call to My children by name and I lead them. I walk ahead of them, and they follow Me because they know My voice. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. For, no one can snatch them away from Me!”
“You want to know who are My true heroes of today? Those who follow Me, and stand for the truth even if it costs them everything, even their life. When theses heroes speak – people will listen because they speak the truth from sincere hearts. These heroes will be able to stand firm in the days ahead.”
So what about those people who say they know Jesus, but don’t? What will they do when all of their possessions are taken right in front of them? Will they run away and deny that they know Jesus? What about those pastor’s who teach the Bible as a book, and are afraid to preach from their pulpits against what is taking place today; afraid that if they do – the government will remove their tax deduction status from them; afraid that their buildings and ministry will stop because of a lack of money. These pastors are working only for the money they receive and do not really care about God’s children.
So, how do I overcome all of the fears that are coming to those who follow Jesus? I must remember that He is always with me. Therefore, I will not be shaken. He will show me the way to go and will grant me the joy of His presence. I will live with Him forever.
