WATCH OUT!
WATCH OUT with whom you share personal things! Dogs are not clean, swine are not precious, they despise and create doubts in you. (Matthew 7:6)
WATCH OUT! GOD MAY USE A DONKEY TO TALK WHEN YOU DISOBEY!
"The Lord opened the mouth of the ass and she said unto Balaam, "What have I done that you had to smite me 3 times? Am I not your ass, upon whom you have ridden, ever since I was yours unto this day?" (Numbers 22:27-30)
WATCH OUT! Don't run with the wrong crowd!
Be not deceived: evil association corrupt good manners. (1 Corinthians 15:33)
WATCH OUT! A novice (immature) could be misleading, because of their false sense of spirituality. They have fallen into pride and live under the condemnation of the devil. (1 Timothy 3:6)
WATCH OUT! For those who cause divisions and stumbling blocks against your spiritual growth. Keep away from them who stand against the truth, that has made you free. (Romans 16:17)
WATCH OUT! For those who deceive the minds of the innocent by their good and fair speeches, such are not in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ, but for personal gain. (Romans 16:18)
WATCH WHAT and HOW YOU SEE! SO THAT YOU WILL NOT TAKE WHAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU and HIDE IT IN YOUR TENT.
When I SAW among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I COVETED them, and TOOK them; and behold, they are HID in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. (Joshua 7:21)
WATCH OUT! WHAT YOU GREATLY FEAR IN LIFE WILL COME UPON YOU, LIKEWISE GREAT FAITH GIVES GOOD RESULTS!
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. (Job 3:25)
The fear of man bringeth a snare... This is a perfect example of the work of the flesh, which could activate demon manipulation - witchcraft. Watch out for people who try to control you! (Proverbs 29:25)
WHO IS A TRUE FRIEND?
Proverbs 27:5-6
Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
CHOOSE FRIENDS WHO WOULD TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
WHO IS A TRUE FRIEND?
Proverbs 22:24
Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shall not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to your soul.
CHOOSE FRIENDS WITH CHARACTER OR YOU COULD BE DECEIVED AND BECOME LIKE ONE OF THEM.
WHO IS A TRUE FRIEND?
Proverbs 18:24
A man that has friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT FRIENDS AND SHOW YOURSELF FRIENDLY, BY STICKING CLOSE TO THEM WHEN THEY NEED YOU.
WHO IS A TRUE FRIEND?
Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
CHOOSE FRIENDS WITH WHOM YOU COULD COMMUNICATE STRAIGHT TALKS, SO THAT BOTH YOU AND YOUR FRIEND COULD BE SHARPENED.
WHO IS A TRUE FRIEND?
Proverbs 17:17
A friend loves at all times...
CHOOSE REAL FRIENDS WHO ARE LOVERS AT ALL TIMES, NOT THOSE WHO ONLY TRY TO GET THE BETTER OF YOU.
WHO IS A TRUE FRIEND?
Proverbs 19:6
...every man is a friend to him that gives gifts.
CHOOSE FRIENDS WHO ARE NOT AFTER YOUR GIFTS, GOOD FRIENDSHIPS ARE NOT BASED ON ATTACHMENTS.
FEAR NOT
Speak to your situation to change, instead of being worried.
Say, "God is with me, I cannot fail because God said so."
"For I the LORD your God will hold your right hand, saying unto you, Fear not; I will help you." (Isaiah 41:13).
"It is the Lord that goes before me; He is with me, He will not fail me, neither forsake me: I will not fear, neither be dismayed." (Deuteronomy 31:8)
Fear was never in the first two chapters of the Bible. So God never gave, nor will He ever give fear. But He always says "fear not! fear not!" Believe Him. (2 Timothy 1:7)
Anger provokes people to more and more fear, but Love casts out fear!
FEAR NOT! Weapons formed against you cannot harm You! Bless them that curse You! Greater is the One in You than the one outside! There's no restraint to the Lord to save by a few or more.
NO FEAR = FULL OF LOVE
HAVE FEAR = NO LOVE
FEAR and LOVE = CONFUSION
CONFUSION = NO PEACE
NO PEACE = ALL EVIL AT WORK
The fear of man brings a snare: but whoso puts his TRUST in the LORD shall be SAFE (Proverbs 29:25).
ASK YOURSELF - DO I TRUST MAN OR GOD?
They that know their God shall do great exploits - Do you believe this? If so, Fear Not! Go about doing the Greater Works as Jesus said!
FEAR NOT when you're despised!
When the blind man said, "I can see because Jesus healed me," the religious folk got mad and EXCOMMUNICATED him, but Jesus received him and came in COMMUNICATION with him (John 9:32-38).
FEAR NOT before your enemies!
Moses said, Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD. The enemies you face today, shall not be seen forevermore. (Exodus 14:13 -14)
The LORD shall fight for you, as you stay in peace. FEAR NOT!
As Jesus said come, Peter walked on the water going towards Jesus. But when he felt the strong winds, he was gripped with fear and beginning to sink cried out for help (Matthew 14:29-30).
Keep your focus on Jesus, or else looking at the circumstances you will fear and begin to sink.
1 Kings 17:13-14
13 Elijah said unto her, FEAR NOT; go and do as you said: but make me thereof a little cake FIRST and BRING it unto me, and after that make for your son.
14 For the Lord God of Israel says, The barrel of meal shall not waste (FINISH), neither shall the cruse of oil fail (DECREASE), until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.
Bring your first unto the Lord by Faith and His Blessing shall not finish nor decrease.
God keeps you in perfect peace, because your mind is focussed on Him and you trust in Him. Many fear because their eyes are not on the Lord.
You may be upset about something that happened and that you would have to face the consequence. FEAR NOT! Let the Peace of God help you out of it. (Colossians 3:15)
FEAR NOT: there are MORE WITH US than them! (2 Kings 6:16)
GREATER is HE that is in you than he that's in the world! (1 John 4:4)
REJOICE!
Be sure and act without fear, as it's rightly stated in 1 John 5:4 that GREATER IS THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU THAN the devil out in the world.
IS FEAR TORMENTING YOU?
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18)
GOD IS PERFECT LOVE!
YOU ARE MADE PERFECT IN LOVE, IF YOU'RE BORN AGAIN.
SO LIVE COURAGEOUSLY IN FAITH! THAT WOULD DRIVE FEAR OUT OF YOU.
ARE YOU PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY SUFFERING IN FEAR?
You have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption (sonship), whereby we cry, Abba, Father (Romans 8:15).
YOU ARE IN COVENANT WITH GOD.
GOD IS YOUR LOVING FATHER.
BELIEVE and CALL UPON HIM AT ANYTIME FOR ANYTHING and HE WILL ANSWER YOU NOW!
WHAT YOU GREATLY FEAR IN LIFE WILL COME UPON YOU, LIKEWISE GREAT FAITH GIVES GOOD RESULTS!
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me (Job 3:25).
Fear for the very first time is mentioned in Genesis 3:10, after associating with the serpent (devil). Everyone lives in fear of the devil, but once a person is born again, he is freed from the fear of death. So Rejoice, because you're in Peace with God, no longer in bondage to any kind of fear.
CONFESS: "GOD HAS NOT GIVEN ME A SPIRIT OF FEAR BUT OF POWER, LOVE and A SOUND MIND!"
Feed your FAITH and starve your FEAR! This is how you do it: HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD and stop hearing FEARFUL LIES of the devil.
The fear of man bringeth a snare...(Proverbs 29:25). This is a perfect example of the work of the flesh, which could activate demon manipulation - witchcraft. Watch out for people who try to control you!
Feel dejected, sad, weary, rejected, as if you have just lost your best friend, downtrodden, no where to turn to, FEAR NOT! God has Blessed you with All Things by Covenant in His Own Blood which cannot and will not be reversed!
Is your marriage, finances or your body in a fiery trail of the devil? Fear not! Fire is subject to water, the fire of the devil is terrified before the Water of the Word of God. Put off the fires of the devil by speaking the Water of the Word over your situation.
