Open Heaven 6 September 2021 Topic: You Need Not Fear
MEMORISE: For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. – Romans 8:15
READ: Isaiah
41:10-13 (KJV)
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy
God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed
and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall
perish.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that
contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a
thing of nought.
13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs
11:1-31, Proverbs 12:1-28
Open Heaven 6 September 2021 MESSAGE:
The Scripture contains a lot of fear not statements from God to His people. Fear is one tool the enemy finds most useful in making the children of God suffer failure, pain and destruction of destiny. Many a time, the things people are afraid of are not real, but their minds paint an imaginary picture of the object or situation out of proportion with the reality and the enemy helps to blow it up. Thus, people become afraid of things that should not instill fear in them.

Certainly, there are some situations that are truly terrifying,
but the Lord our God still charges us not to be afraid, He wants us to know
that with Him backing us up, nothing and no situation can have us at its mercy.
Isaiah
41:10 says:
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am
thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.”

Fear is an enemy; it paralyses the potential for greatness. The
Bible says fear has torment (1 John 4:18). Fear makes the one full of it disobedient to God; fear makes
a fellow lift his or her situation higher than God. Such was the case of King
Saul who confessed that he had sinned because he feared the people and obeyed
their voice, even against the instruction of God (1 Samuel 15:24). Being fearful is a sin that can lead one
into eternity in the lake of fire. Revelation 21:8 says:
“But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremonger,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Of these sins, fearfulness is number one on the list. You have
no business being fearful. Jesus our Lord is greater than any human being no
matter his or her status; He is greater than any situation. Nothing and no one
is a match for Him. Colossians 2:15 says Jesus has spoiled principalities and powers. Isaiah 8:12-13 says
we should not fear their fear, but fear only God. Once we fear God, we would
have no one else to fear. You cannot claim to fear God and others at the same
time.
Open Heaven 6 September 2021 KEY POINT:
Go on your knees and confront anything, person
or situation tending to make you afraid, in the name of Jesus. Command the
spirit of fear to depart from you by fire, in Jesus name.

temptations lose their power
when thou art nigh.
