Fear Not

In the book of Hebrews it declares that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. One of the greatest challenges we have in life is to stay in faith and keep fear from strangling and paralyzing us.

As we receive the Word Of God into our heart faith comes and fear is dispelled. There are over 365 scriptures that encourage and command us to Fear Not. If we continue to feed our faith on the Word our heart will be established in the reality of God being greater than our problems and well able to always cause us to triumph.

In order for God's word to be fruitful in our life's in needs to be in our heart and coming out of our mouth. Believe His word speak it and fear will leave and faith will be activated in your life.

It all starts with knowing the Word for yourself. It must be the number one priority for it to be affective.  Jesus said in the world we would have tribulation but He also gives us the great encouragement to be of good cheer because He has over come the world. 1John 5:4 declares

                This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
