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)

"And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires.” (2 Peter 2:4 NLT)

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.

Promises

Promise: a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen. assurance, pledge, vow, guarantee, oath, bond, undertaking, agreement, commitment, contract, covenant.

There are thousands of them for you!

There are thousands of them scattered throughout the Bible and they cover every need! (Phil. 4:19).

They are all "Yes" in Christ!

“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ.” (2 Cor. 1:20 NIV)

They MUST be mixed with faith!

Even though God has provided all these wonderful promises for you, they won't profit you unless you mix them with faith (believe them with your whole heart and stand on them without wavering). See the verses below  

"For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it." (Heb  4:2 KJV)

 "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." (James 1:6 NIV)
