Again I say, "Fear Not"

Yesterday I fasted TV. I fasted because I did not want to hear all the commentaries on the election. I know me and I know that by hearing all day long fear would set in. Instead I chose to listen to the voice of My Creator, My Father.

As I was preparing dinner, I started singing a song. Not a song I had heard before, but a song rising up from my heart. Here are the words I sang -
"Fear not, my child, for I Am always near. Fear not, my child, for I Am always here. I will never leave you or forsake you. For I know the plans I have for you so fear not."

Upon awaking just a short time ago (those who know me will be shocked to learn I went to bed at 9:46 pm), I turned on the TV. It took less than 30 seconds to find out the results of the Presidential election. I then came over to the computer to check on the North Carolina results. I can tell you in all honesty there is no fear in me. I will continue to lift this country and our leaders up in prayer. Because (as a friend from our home school group put it) no matter who the President is - God is still King! I have decided to continue my fast from all the commentaries - no looking back - I have my eyes on the prize, Jesus. I look upon the hills where my Help comes from.

Be encouraged - here is the original "Fear not" post:


I heard in a sermon once that the phrase "fear not" is in the Bible 365 times. That is one "fear not" for each day of the year. In doing a search on Bible Gateway, I couldn't find it that many times; however, the point is "fear not" is mentioned over and over again in the Word of God. Let us hold on to the promises of God and "fear not". He is in control of ALL circumstances and absolutely NOTHING catches Him by surprise.

the economy - FEAR NOT
the Presidential election - FEAR NOT
the report from the doctor - FEAR NOT
all cares and concerns - FEAR NOT

I am sensing a spirit of fear in this country. I hear people speaking out of fear. The Word of God tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

If you feel that fear - speak against it using the Word of God. Renew your mind daily with God's Word.

Romans 12:1-2 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

Walk in spirit and in truth!!!

John 4:23-24 23 "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear? For I am YOURS!
