O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid, say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God. Isaiah 40 verse 9.
Behold the Lord comes with power and might.
Praise his name forever for he is worthy to be praised.
Sing unto the Lord a new song, and make your voice known for he is great.
He is God.

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12 verse 2.
Author of our Faith in the book of Hebrews chapter 12 verse 2 can be translated from the Greek language as captain or pioneer.
He is the first and the last; everything starts with him and ends with him.
He perfected our belief in God.
He is our example when it comes to trusting in God.
He totally relied on God the Father as the source of his blessing, the source of his existence;
being the only begotten son of God, coexistent, coequal, and coeternal with God.
He is our true example as the “captain” and “perfector” of our faith.

And Isaiah said unto them, thus shall ye say unto your master, thus saith the Lord, be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Isaiah 37 verse 6.
Don’t be afraid of the things you hear.
Malicious words can mess with your self-esteem and destroy the psyche.
The tongue is a fire, a weapon used for mass destruction.
But don’t worry about what others say to you.
Don’t be afraid of words spoken in anger to defeat you
As a child of God, your responsibility is to your heavenly Father.
He takes care of you in all your ways.
There is nothing he will not do for you.

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; He will come and save you. Isaiah 35 verse 4
Take time, a mere moment from your life to comfort someone else.
Pray for the sick.
Encourage the faint-hearted.
Pay attention to the lonely.
Give thanks to God for those in your life.
Help those who are helpless.
Be strong in the power of the Lord’s might, knowing he will sustain you and keep you in all your ways.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26 verse 2
When we say we love God, we seek to learn more.
The more we know the sweeter to our hearts he grows;
until face to face his full beauty we will embrace.

The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Isaiah 17 verse 2
In the book of Isaiah the prophet foretold the invasion of the Assyrian army and the fall of Israel as a warning to God’s people because of their Godless ways.
God is holy and cannot look upon sin.
He deals in righteous judgment on the just and the unjust.
He knows we are not perfect and remembers that we easily make mistakes.
Nevertheless, God loves us and sent his only begotten son so that we can be saved from the wrath to come and be brought back to him in grace.
Those who confess Jesus as Lord and Saviour, are then called Children of God.
For those who reject Jesus as Saviour and Lord, they will not be spending eternity with God but will be cast out into eternal darkness where “the worm dies not, neither is the fire quenched.”
Salvation is only through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ the Lord.
Where is He now?
We see Jesus…
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. Being made so much better than the angels. as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1 verses 1 to 4
He is now crowned with honor.
Seated at the Father’s right hand in the glory.
Having completed the work that the Father gave him to do.
There he lives.
We remember him.

Behold, God is my Salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord, Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Isaiah 12 verse 2
He is my protection and in him, will I trust.
I am not afraid of the terror that walks in the day nor of the darkness that shrouds the night.
His song will be forever in my heart and his joy on my lips.
I will praise him forever through all eternity.
He is my strength, my song, and my salvation.
And in him, I lack nothing.

Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt; for yet a very little while and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction. Isaiah 10 verses 24 and 25.
Don’t worry about those who rise up against you.
Their end is near.
Because their time is brief and full of vanity.
God is not blind and neither is he deaf.
In the fullness of time, He will make bare his arm and descend in judgment against them.
Do not fret, the Lord himself will defend you.

Ye shall not say, Conspiracy, of everything, of which this people saith, Conspiracy; and fear ye not their fear, and be not in dread. Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your dread. Isaiah 8 verses 12 and 13.
They are some who live in constant fear while delighting to plot against you.
They view your every move as a mark on them.
Seeing you as the enemy, therefore, despising you for no good reason.
Sometimes it does not take two hands to clap, with these people jealousy lines their hearts.
They ride a slippery slope and quickly give in to paranoia as they go about living.
Don’t be like this lot so easily swayed and give in to the feeling of dread.
Remember you have a sanctuary in God.
Reverence Him and let Him work for you.
