Fear-what are you afraid of? #10




Ever been in fear of being arrested for your faith? We are moving in a direction if things don't change that it may be a possibility! If you have ever been on a foreign mission trip it is a big possibility! For Israel being in captivity was a reality many times. The sad thing was it was their own fault because they turned their back on God...and if we end up being arrested for our faith it may be because as a nation we turned our back on God too!



Look at what God says about captivity for Israel:



Jeremiah 46:27



27 “But fear not, O Jacob my servant,

nor be dismayed, O Israel,

for behold, I will save you from far away,

and your offspring from the land of their captivity.

Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,

and none shall make him afraid.



God is in control. He will deliver His people and has proven that time and time again. Even when we don't deserve it. Think about all those who were in some sort of captivity in the bible...Israel in Egypt, Joesph, Daniel, John the Baptist, Paul, the disciples, and yes even Jesus. God delivered all! Some were freed to live life out and some were called home to be with Jesus...but all were delivered who had their faith in God! So why would we fear?



Look at this encouraging verse:



John 8:36

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.



When you have Jesus you are free! Someone may have a hold on your body but no one can control your mind!!!



Thank God for freedom in Christ Jesus!
