BE STRONG… BE COURAGEOUS… FEAR NOT… DON’T BE DISCOURAGED!

BE STRONG… BE COURAGEOUS… FEAR NOT… DON’T BE DISCOURAGED!

Be strong and courageous. Fear not; do not be dismayed. —I Chronicles 22:13

“Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you.  —I Chronicles 28:20

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. —II Chronicles 32:7

 Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous. —Joshua 10:25

May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous. —Psalm 69:28

            We are told to “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power (Ephesians 6:10).  He is with His children, those who are in relationship with Him, and He said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”  So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.  What can mere mortals do to me?” (Hebrews 13:5-6).

            We are to be courageous, “not afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you.”  Yes, He is always with us and we need to remember that, not get distracted from that and live like that!  It matters not what situation or circumstances we are in because “there is a greater power with us than with” anything or anyone that may be against us. 

            So, where do you find yourself today?  Are you being strong in the Lord or living in the weakness of your own strength?  Are you being courageous or feeling weak and fainthearted?  Are you feeling dismayed and discouragement is consuming you?  Then you are not relying on His presence and His strength and His power.  Get refocused.

            Remember this fact— the unrighteous will be blotted out of the book of life, but those who have called on Jesus, He “will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels” (Revelation 3:5).  So, be strong and courageous.  Be not afraid or discouraged.  We are eternally safe on Jesus.  And I thank You, Dear Father that this is the case by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9qreZA–ks
