Do not live in fear, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
To live pure is to live without fear. Fear is impure, faith is pure. I did not give you a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind (self-control). Do not let your heart be troubled, do not let it be afraid.
Faith keeps you in peace. Do not fear, only believe and you will have the miracle. Never back down to the spirit of fear, for it is an unclean spirit from hell. You must answer it with the truth of My Word and thus trample the lie underfoot.
It is your faith in Jesus as My Son and your Savior that overcomes the world, but what brings about that overwhelming, all embracing, blessed assurance that drives out all fear without a battle but just the knowing of two things? Fear is gone when you have come to know and are established in these two things, and here they are: (i) My love for you; and (ii) My goodness towards you. And under these two truths there are unfathomable treasures that are beyond the reach of human understanding, they must be revealed to you by My Spirit and can only be spiritually discerned, for the fullness of these all encompassing truths have no limits in time or eternity.
The way you become established in faith in these two truths, with the second flowing from My divine nature of love in goodness which results in the exercise of My tremendous power in love producing goodness and eradicating evil, you must know who I am and what I do and the only place you will find that is in My Word. And, indeed, that is the only way you know anyone enough to entrust your life to them with complete confidence, is by their words and the history of and fruit of their lives. In other words, do their words and works match? Or are they wolves in sheep’s clothing?
To what shall I compare the book of My Words and deeds among men, which is what you know as the “Bible” both the Old Testament and the New Testament, which are one and the same living testamentary Covenant as continually being updated, amended, and restated but always on the same foundation of revelation of Jesus? Think about what I called the first five books of the Bible to Joshua, for that was the entire written Word at that time. I called it in Hebrew the “Torah” which means instruction for success and perfection of life. It is instruction that causes you to always hit the bull’s eye as if an archer.
“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the Torah my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Torah always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:7-9.
When you have the answer book for every problem or area of your life, there is no reason to fear if you exactly follow the instructions. And that was what I was revealing to Joshua for conquering the land I had already given them as an inheritance. All they had to do was whatever I told them to go in and receive and take their inheritance. But it was fear that kept them out forty years earlier and I did not want that to happen a second time. I told Joshua and I tell you now, the ability to do great things is in following the instructions I give you in My written Word and by My Spirit in you enlightening you to how they apply in your life each day.
Doing My Word is wise. My Word is you Owner’s Manual for the life I have entrusted to you to steward in this earth and for eternity. For you rule and reign with Me.
The primary purpose of an owner’s manual is to provide users with the information from the maker of all they need to do to safely and effectively operate, maintain, and troubleshoot that which they have from the maker. It serves as a comprehensive guide, covering everything from basic controls and features to maintenance schedules and warranty information. The manual explains how to use the product’s various features and controls, ensuring users can utilize it to its full potential. It outlines recommended maintenance schedules, fluid specifications, and other care instructions to keep the product in good working order and potentially extend its lifespan. The manual often includes troubleshooting tips and guidance for addressing common issues, empowering users to resolve minor problems themselves and potentially avoid costly repairs. It also includes information on how to handle emergencies, such as jump-starting or what to do after an accident.
Refusing to follow your Owner’s Manual and violate the guidelines and rules therein is foolish. It will shorten the lifespan of your product (the fruit of the life that I have entrusted to you) and never let you use it to its full potential.
I am your maker and I know how everything in your spirit, soul, and body, works and how it reaches its maximum potential, which, with My Holy Spirit in you, is way beyond all you can ask or think without knowing the mind of your Creator. But I have taken care of that, you have My deepest thoughts revealed to you in My manual for your use: The Bible. And you have the one in you to explain to you what is written, guide you to all truth, and teach you how to apply it in your unique life: the Holy Spirit who is God as well, the third person of your One God. So we have the manual and the teacher who wrote it, breathed it, to explain it to you.
The wise person builds the house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands. Do not destroy your own life by living in evil thoughts and deeds thinking that you are clever to rebel and get away with it. This will not result in your life being filled with goodness, but toil and pain, family disharmony and division, and every evil work. Just look around and you will see it is true. The only way you will be wise, even wiser than your teachers is by obeying My Word to govern the life I have entrusted to you and the works of My hands that I have given you to steward.
I have better understanding and deeper insight than all my teachers because of Your Word, for Your testimonies are my meditation. Psalm 119:99.
You will only have a pure life of joy unspeakable filled with glory as you watch things topple about you from My secret place as you abide in perfect protection if you are willing and obedient. Quick to hear My Word, and quick to do it is the wisest decision you can make to ensure health, prosperity, and blessing in your life that I have given you.
That said, let Me establish you in My love and My goodness so that you never fear anything or anyone again in the sense of the unclean spirit of fear. There is also a holy fear that keeps you out of temptation and strengthens you in your resolve to live a pure life, but that comes from knowing My love and goodness as well. It is a grateful reverence for who I am to you and who you are to Me that you never want to step out of to the right or the left. It is staying in the light by walking closely with Me and noticing each day all the good things and the protection I give you that causes your heart to sing with delight in My goodness that is for you.
In My Word, your Owner’s Manual for the life I have given you, I tell you there is only one way to completely cast out all fear. Do you know it?
We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. 1 John 4:16-19.
There was no fear in the world until Adam and Eve sinned. Fear entered with sin for sin brings punishment, sin brings torment. Sin is an ugly thing, it is lawlessness, and just as you cannot violate the laws of nature such as physics and chemistry without an adverse result so too, you cannot violate the laws of the spirit without adverse consequences. But even though the wages of sin is death, in Jesus I give you the gift of righteousness unto eternal life. And that is where you see the great love I have for you in all its wonder.
By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10.
I accounted all your sins to Jesus so that He became sin for you, in your place, and gave you in Him the gift of My righteousness. Why? Because I loved you before you were born for I conceived you in My heart and had My plans for your amazing life all prepared in advance.
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. Psalm 139:16-18.
And when you sinned and wandered away from Me, I sought to bring you back to Me from where you had gone astray. And I lit your way home by the light of My Word on the path, lighting up a new and living way that the gift of My Son won for you by His eternal blood offered for the eternal life that Adam murdered within himself and all his descendants.
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned. Romans 5:12.
For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:17-19.
If I did all this for you in Jesus, will not I give you everything with Him besides? And I have, I have given you who are the flock of your good Shepherd the Kingdom and all that is in it. I prepared it for you since before the foundation of the world. And you cannot even imagine the beauty, wonders, and magnificence of My Kingdom and it is all there for you to enjoy with Me forever. And I want you to live days of Heaven on earth even now. I want you back with Me in the Garden of Eden. I want to turn every wasted place in your life into a garden of delight within you heart and around your home.
Indeed, the LORD will comfort Zion (the mountain of grace, the church of the firstborn); He will comfort all her waste places. And her wilderness He will make like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and sound of a melody. Isaiah 51:3.
And it is all in your Owner’s Manual, all the instructions you need to live the best life and to know Me as the One who made you so you can rest in My love with confidence, never to fear anyone or anything again, for you will know your maker and that I am love, I love you beyond all you can ask or imagine, and I have infinite goodness deposited in your account, all you have to do is draw it out with faith and confidence. What a wonderful way to live that I offer to you every day.
And now you come to My goodness that you can count on in every situation without torment, begging, cajoling—it is already there for you, all prepared in advance. You only need to receive it.
Why do you fear? Fear has to do with things to come that have not actually happened as yet—fear of being harmed and less than whole, fear of lack and inadequacy to meet your needs, fear of failure and a wasted life, fear of punishment for your sins, fear of old age, fear of sickness, fear of being alone, and, ultimately fear of death, and worse yet of eternal death. Fear of things you feel you cannot control. But I have the perfect answer for you that will stop all of these fearful thoughts. And that entails knowing a truth that My Spirit reveals to you for your edification and encouragement: And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28.
And there is more that should make you run to Me as your refuge and fortress, your God in whom you trust to always cause you to triumph.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31-39.
The greatest adventure in time and eternity is getting to know Me and in knowing Me you will know who you are and be perfected in love, complete in Me. And when you know Me and your position in and with Me, all fear is gone and in your heart is My song. The Song of Songs is all about you and Me forever and it is a love song of mutual admiration and exaltation.
I love you. Do you know it? If you do, perfect love casts out all fear because you will know that I never leave you or forsake you and I never harm you but only give you good things.
I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces will never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them. O taste and see that the LORD is good; how blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! Psalm 34:4-8.
