Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. (Ps. 64:1.) Put fear behind you out of sight and mind, rebuke it as you do other sins—it is one of the worst of them. "The enemy" may be a human foe, a bad habit, a false belief, or any peace destroyer.

again to fear.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath punishment, and he that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18.

(Read also Isa. 51:12-16).

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. Ps. 112:7.

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

Prov. 10:24. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried; he is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him. 2 Sam. 22:31.

By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear. Heb. 11:3.

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, if ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you. Luke 17:5-6.

For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23.

If this be a mountain of fear, of remorse, of worry, of hurtful habits, of ill health, of anything that like a mountain obscures from our view the land of peace and happiness, one word of command—if there be faith—and the mountain is removed and cast into oblivion.

And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons: they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Mark 16:17-18.

He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; and whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he. Prov. 16:20.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.

Ps. 27:13.

And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them; he rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in him. Ps. 37:40.

When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God is with thee. For Jehovah your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. Deut. 20:1, 4.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Jer. 17:7-8.

Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.

Jer. 17:5-6.

Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. Luke 7:50.

Get Wisdom, Get Understanding

Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32.

The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without doubtfulness, without hypocrisy. James 3:17.

For to the man that pleaseth him God giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy. Eccl. 2:26.

But to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give him that is good before God. Eccl. 2:26.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest Jer. 33:3.
