FEAR!

Fear is a powerful feeling.

Fear and trembling before God is awe-struck, adoration worship.

Philippians 2:12

"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

Psalm 2:11

Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling.

However, Satan our adversary has dismembered FEAR into something far more sinister ...causing panic in fear ...even a sense of paralysis at times. The enemy of our souls has distorted what was meant to be respect and esteem for our Father God, our Savior and Lord - Jesus, our Comforter - the Holy Spirit. Theft of what was, is to be, and can be still - in a reverential fear and appreciation before our God - comes in the form of deceit. The fraudulent scheme causes alarm and hysteria in the issues of life rather than honor and praise before our King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Let us humble ourselves in prayer - in repentance - asking our amazing and loving God to remove the scales from our very eyes. This will allow us to see clearly the TRUTH that is - not the twisted truth the enemy presents to us. Satan attempted this before Jesus Himself as in the three temptations in the desert (Matthew 4:1-11). He failed then. With Jesus's help, we can show Satan he has failed ...yet, again! Turning our eyes unto the Lord - we will see, with certainty, the TRUTH for all of life and its matters. Additionally, we will freely encounter our God - worshipping Him in spirit and in truth.

Hebrews 12:2

...fixing our eyes on Jesus ...

John 4:24

God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Be not deceived ...walk in TRUTH ...Jesus is with you and He loves you so!
