CONQUER FEAR!

-












Most people have experienced fear at some point in their lives.The feeling of   fear in certain situations is normal.   There is a problem if it turns to phobias, severe anxiety and panic attacks. At least that's what I learned in my psychology class.


I have learned that I can pray
when I experience fear. The 
Lord will send "The Comforter" 
to help me. He has helped me
overcome fear many times.


The Bible has a lot to say about fear.   
The scriptures that talk about "fear 
the Lord". I am supposed to honor 
and obey His commands and laws.  

The other type of fear in the Bible is in regards to  being  afraid or frightened. I'm sharing scriptures that explain how the Lord can provide comfort when fear arises.


LIFE LESSON:


THE BOOK OF GENESIS SHOWS HOW
GOD HELPED PEOPLE WHO WERE EXPERIENCING FEAR.


GENESIS  21:17



And God heard the voice of the lad. 
Then the angel of God called to Hagar 
out of heaven, and said to her, “What 
ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.





GENESIS  26:24



And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am 
with you. I will bless you and multiply
your descendants for My servant
Abraham’s sake.”



GENESIS  32:11



Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and attack me and the mother with the children.
 
GENESIS 46:3


So He said, “I am God, the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there.

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
