Fear

Matthew 10:28 (NKJV) 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Sometimes the things or the people that we face can cause us to be fearful.

Circumstances can cause us to fear their outcome.

More commonly, though, people can cause us to fear them for what they can do.

Most times these fears are unfounded and unnecessary. But our minds can run away from us, letting fear dominate our thoughts.

Jesus told His disciples that we are not to fear those who can “kill the body”. It’s not our body that counts, but our soul.

You see, our bodies are simply the shell that we live in. Yes, we should value our lives enough to take care of our bodies and use them to bring honor and glory to God.

But we should never allow fear to cause us to avoid doing what God has called us to do.

Man may be able to destroy the body, but he can never destroy our soul.

God, however, is who we are accountable to. He has dominion over our souls. And it is to Him that we answer, here on earth, and for eternity.

This is not being written to be heavy or scary, but to bring truth and understanding to us so we don’t spend our lives fearing those who truly have no control over us, even if they may think they do or act like they do.

Fear God (in reverence), but do not fear man. It is not to man that we answer.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-5-17

Posted on December 5, 2017
Fear of Man
Leave a comment

Proverbs 29:25 (NKJV) 25 The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.

Are we afraid of man? Do we walk around, fearful of what people may try to do to us if we don’t do what they say, or act the way they want us to act? If so, we may live our lives doing everything we can to please them, even if it is something we know we shouldn’t be doing.

Many people live like this and don’t even realize it. More than we would expect, including people we would never expect it from.

What does fear of man do? It gives people control over us. It puts them in charge.

When we are afraid of man, we lose our identity. We walk in intimidation and fear daily, and we are at their beck and call.

There will be times when we know we should speak up, stand up or walk out, etc., but we feel paralyzed and unable to do so.

We’ve allowed this fear of man to dominate us and control us. If we give man the upper hand, he will take it.

Let God deliver us and help us get free from the fear of man today.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to You today and ask for forgiveness for my fear of man. I ask You to help me and deliver me from this fear. I am willing to take the steps You have for me and I no longer want to live this way. But instead, I put every bit of my trust in You.

I rebuke the spirit of fear and his attack against me, in Jesus’ name. I am no longer in bondage to him, but claim my freedom to speak up, to stand up, to walk where I need to walk and to make the right decisions.
