Fear he IS a liar

Recently, I was faced with some concerns that seemed overwhelming, and appeared as a tsunami of fear overtaking me, as it was cresting overhead, looming above me,  I gathered my wits and asked the Lord what I was to do.  Immediately He approached me FACE TO FACE with my face cupped in his hands, showing and telling me, "Sharon, you are in My hands."   Wow,  I told Him that I had indeed placed myself in His hands and was NOT going to do anything different, STAYING RIGHT THERE.  

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.

I John 4:18 

LOVE came and swallowed up that fear.  That tsunami just went up in smoke.

There's a song that has been brought to my attention a few weeks ago, by a man named Zach Williams, entitled Fear Is A Liar. 

"Fear Is A Liar"

When he told you you're not good enough
When he told you you're not right
When he told you you're not strong enough
To put up a good fight
When he told you you're not worthy
When he told you you're not loved
When he told you you're not beautiful
That you'll never be enough

Fear he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
Cause fear he is a liar

When he told you were troubled
You'll forever be alone
When he told you you should run away
You'll never find a home
When he told you you were dirty
And you should be ashamed
When he told you you could be the one
That grace could never change

Fear he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
Cause fear he is a liar

Let Your fire fall and cast out all my fears
Let Your fire fall Your love is all I feel

Fear he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
Cause fear he is a liar 

Look it up on you tube, you'll be blessed by it.  

satan is a master of disguise.  (and no,  that is NOT a typo, I don't dignify satan by even capitalizing his name, he's not deserving of it.)  There has been thousands of years that he has had to perfect his game, and knows human very well.  Knowing which buttons to push with each of us.  We DO, each of us, have a guardian angel, at least one, but minions of hell have been onlookers into our lives since birth also.  he's a low down son of a gun and operates without mercy.  After all, the Word describes him as a stealer, killer and destroyer, and has always lived up to his name.  (John 10:10) 

Proverbs 4:20-23 tells us: 

 My child, pay attention to My Words.
    Listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them.
    Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them,
    and healing to their whole body. Guard your heart above all else,

    for it determines the course of your life.

God knew what we needed from long ago.

Philippians 4:8 says:  

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. ⁹ The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

We are to renew our mind to the God's Word.

Romans 12:1,2

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.  Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Father knows that satan will sucker punch us every opportunity he has, and his ultimate goal is is to knock us out for the count, with no hope of recovery, and our one and only weapon of mass destruction, is God's Word.  While we follow the instructions of His Word, to make it first place, guard our hearts, take care of what we are thinking and renew our minds we are in a safe place, safely kept.

So the next time that satan approaches you with fear of any kind, any deal that is too good to be true, setting up a trap for you, reach for your trusty SWORD, God's Word, USE IT, and set your gaze upon Jesus.......

  Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

 And they overcame him (satan) by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB and by the WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, and they did not love their lives to the death. 

Revelation 12:11
