"Fear not" appears at least 365 times in the bible. The most repeated command. One reminder for every day. No coincidence there. Fear is one of the enemy's greatest tricks. Fear paralyzes a person to where they cannot act. Faith trumps fear so we are to fear not, for we know the Lord is with us and has already won any battle we are about to face. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He wants this to resonate in our hearts and minds so we keep the peace in all situations. Simply put.... fear is not of God. Whatever circumstance you are facing and you are afraid, it is not of God. God is perfect peace. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God". Philippians 4:6 The enemy does not know what to do when we are at peace. Therefore walk in victory and give all things to God. Give Him all praise. Exalt His mighty name on high.
When I am afraid,
I will trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
In God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mortal man do to me? Psalm 56:3-4
