Fear Free
Many times in the Scriptures God tells us not to fear. In most of these times He's speaking to His children, those who are in a covenant relationship with Him. While we are on pilgrimage on earth, nothing should move us to fear. Nothing and no one should have the upper hand in our lives through fear.
If God would many times tell His children not to fear, it shows they may be circumstances and situations that may try to push us to fear. We may face issues that may want to drag us into fear. The enemy uses circumstances to bring fear into our lives. Someone said fear is 'False' 'Expressions' 'Appearing' 'Real' (F.E.A.R.). One of the ploys of the enemy is to create these false expressions through undesirable circumstances to lure us to fear.
Exodus 14:13-14
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
The children of Israel were caught between Pharoah, his horsemen and the red sea. They allowed the situation to get the hold of them and there whimpered in fear. Moses spoke up to them. He told them not to fear because the Lord was with them and the battle belonged to Him. God fought for Israel and they had the victory over their enemies. They had no need to fear, just as you and I have no need to fear.
You may be facing situations that are bigger than you and for that there may be the tendency to fear. The command not to fear in any situation is not because of us, but because of God. We are not to fear because we have God, not because we are strong. We don't fear because the Lord is our ever present help. He said He'll never leave or forsake us. He promised He'll deliver us from every plot of the enemy and from seen and unforseen circumstances. We'll have victory over every situation we may encounter. When you're sure of victory with God and in God, there is no need to fear. You don't live in fear when you have God.
God says not to fear. Do not fear because God is with you. The Most High is your refuge. Nothing and no one can touch the one protected by Him. Having God is living fear free.
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
1 John 4:4
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
