Get Rid 🚫 of Fear with JESUS ✝️ 2 Timothy 1:7 & 1 John 4:18 Bible Verses
How do you overcome fear? The Bible tells us... 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (KJV). 1 John 4:18 says, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love" (KJV).
Then how do you love more so that you can overcome fear? You establish a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, because the Bible says that God is love, in 1 John 4:7-8, "Beloved, let's love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God. He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love" (WEB).
When we are truly saved, we have an enduring and endearing love for our Savior. We have a change of heart where we love the things that He loves and we pattern our lives in a way to please Him. Not in order to make it to heaven, but because we love Him. We love Him so much that we put Him first in every decision that we make. We love Him so much that we want Him to lead, guide, and direct us, according to His Word, and if we don’t… there’s something wrong. If we don’t bear good fruit, then we are to examine our hearts and find out why (see 2 Corinthians 13:5).
God has a plan for our lives and when we bear good fruit, as a result of acting out our love for Him, that’s not “works” and trying to put ourselves in the equation, but outward evidence that we belong to our Heavenly Father and are redeemed and transformed by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ (see Ephesians 2:10, as well as Ephesians 2:8-9).
There's nothing you can do to make it to Heaven, but Jesus loves you so much that He ransomed His life for you, so that your sins could be forgiven and washed away, forever, when you truly believe in Jesus (which includes making our risen Savior the Lord of your life and repent). Repent means to be truly sorry for your sins and to try your best not to do them, out of love for the Lord. Then, since nobody is perfect, Jesus will help you with the rest so that you can be with Him in Heaven. How cool is that?!
Because nobody is perfect, we really can't be good on our own. In Romans 3:10-12, the Bible actually says that no one is good, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become useless; there is none that does good, no, not one" (I Love Jesus UKJV).
How do you get help? Tell Jesus that you're sorry and that you don't intend to keep being bad, but you want His help. This is called repentance, which means to be truly sorry for your sins, try not to do them, and try to change for the better.
I know it's hard, so I'll say it again. It's hard, because nobody is perfect, but God will help you. Jesus said that He and our Heavenly Father would send us the Holy Spirit to help us and so that we would not be all alone, like orphans (see Luke 11:13, John 14:16-26, and John 16:13-14). Then, make Jesus the Lord of your life by reading your Bible (I recommend that you start in John, because the book of John talks the most about the love of Jesus). Then, try your best to do what the Bible says. It's hard, but ask for God to send His Holy Spirit to help you and rememer that the Bible says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengths me" (WEB).
Remember, what you're going through, now, could empower you to help others, in the future!
A change of perspective can be encouraging. To know that what you're going through could have a good outcome, for you and others, can empower you to help other people through the same thing, in the future (see 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 & Romans 8:28). I know it's encouraging to me to know that I don't just go through things for nothing!
I pray that God encourages you by drawing you to Him and that He brings you into a closer relationship with Him, in Jesus' name... Amen!

😢 Hopelessness… Is This True? | Inspired by Proverbs 13:12 Bible Verse ✝️ Christian Quote #shorts
I pray this quote of mine about hopelessness helps you. Is it true? I know that the wisdom we find in the Bible is true and it's one of my interpretations of the Proverbs 13:12 Bible Verse. It sure has helped me. Words of encouragement and Christian motivation is important, because we are supposed to encourage one another in Christ.
I think that those who teach how important it is to set goals would probably agree with this quote. Goal setting and incrementally accomplishing those goals have helped many people, "dig out of the hole" of hopelessness, because it can empower you. After all, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengths me" (WEB).
What you're going through could empower you to help others, in the future!

I know it's encouraging to me to know that I don't just go through things for nothing!

P.S. For the next few months, I’ll be concentrating on getting this channel rolling. Then, I’ll finish producing my backlog of new Christian music that I’ll be releasing later this year. I PRAY for YOU, as I Thessalonians 5:23 says in the World English Bible, "May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." in the name of Jesus... Amen!

Fall Down? Get Back Up! | Word of Encouragement from Proverbs 24:16 Bible Verse ✝️
A word of encouragement and Christian motivation for those who have failed and are afraid to try, again. The Bible tells us that a righteous man gets back up and that things will work out, for those who truly love GOD and have made Jesus Christ the Lord of their life.
Scriptural Basis:
Proverbs 24:16 says, "For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again..." (KJV).
Now, we can fail more than 7 times and still get back up, again. Back in the times of the Bible, "7 times" was a saying, in that the number 7 was considered a full and complete number and which by implication meant an indefinite number of times.
Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (KJV).
Notice that it says, "to them" and not "for them". I think that's saying that GOD is in control.
God bless you all, in Jesus' name!
