FEAR NOT

Recently during the New Year's Conference at America's Keswick, Dr. Joe Olachea made the following statement and I believe it is so profound I had to pass it along. He said: "We should fear God so much that we fear nothing else." I cannot add to the impact of that statement other than to share some applicable Scripture.

Deuteronomy 6:13 It is the LORD your God you shall fear. Him you shall serve and by his name you shall swear.

Deuteronomy 13:4 You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him.

Joshua 4:23-24 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we passed over, 24 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever.

2 Kings 17:37 You shall not fear other gods,

Psalm 96:4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.

Isaiah 35:4 Say to those who have an anxious heart, "Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you."

Isaiah 41:13 For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I am the one who helps you."

Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

I appreciated Dr. Olachea's reminder - thought I'd pass it along.

Blessings, Diane

James 1:13
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
