Do Not Let Fear Keep Us Apart

 July 27, 2024

Verse of the day - Psalm 51:1 (NRSV)

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

In chapter 6 of my first book, Jesus tells us that fear is the work of the devil.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

Come into My loving Presence and let Me release you of all your sins.  There is no need to fear for I will forgive all sins, great and small.  Do not let fear keep us apart.  Fear is the work of the devil.  He desires you to be fearful.  When you are fearful and worry about things of this world, the devil has control of you.  Do not allow him to do this.  Stand up and be firm against the tactics of the devil.  Once you confess your sins to Me, you will  be set free from the grip of the devil. 

As humans, it is normal for us to be fearful and worry about different things.  Jesus has told us that this is the work of the devil.  When we worry and become fearful of different things, the devil has control over our thought life.  In Ephesians 6:12 it says: For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.  In Ephesians verse 16 it tells us that we need to take the shield of faith, with which we will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  When we are strong in our faith, we will be able to defend ourselves against whatever the devil may try to throw our way.  Through the power of God, the devil will be defeated and we will come out victoriously.
