God has given you freedom from fear and anxiety!

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27 NIV)

We need to be aware of what God has already provided so we don’t repeatedly ask Him for what He has already given. Over the last few days I have been sharing some of them with you. Here is another one.

Freedom from fear and anxiety

God would never tell you to do something you couldn’t do. Fear and anxiety is not from God and is a device of the devil to rob and stop God’s people from doing what God has created them to do. In fact, God commands not to fear 365 times in the Bible, one for each day of the year.

Fear and anxiety are NOT from God

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” (2 Tim. 1:7 NLT)

“The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." (Rom. 8:15 NIV)

Do NOT be anxious about anything!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:6-7 NIV)

God Commands you to NOT be afraid

“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.” Josh. 1:9 NIV)

Cast all your anxiety upon God

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7 NIV)

Be not afraid because God is with you!

“The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Psalm 218:6 NIV)
