#006 Break the Cycle of Fear - 86 Seconds Video Devotional - Gary Wilkerson

The Word of God tells us to fear not. What a great encouragement because there's so much stuff in the world today that can cause us to want to move into the realm of fear. Fear is born of unbelief. We don't really believe that God is going to take care of us. We don't really believe his promises are true. And out of that unbelief becomes worry and anxiety and stress. Out of that stress and anxiety often becomes tension in our relationships, tension in our heart and even tension in our relationship with Jesus Christ. We begin to doubt him and begin to live in unbelief and that just stirs up even greater fear. It's exactly what the enemy's after—trying to get fear to be like a cycle that just comes back around and causes even more fear.

And so I want to encourage you today. I want to challenge you in these 86 seconds we have together to tell you there's a better way. There's the Jesus way and the Jesus way is saying, Jesus, I really trust you. You gave your all for me. So why would I ever doubt that you are withholding any good thing for me? And if you're not withholding any good thing from me, what do I have to fear? I don't fear, man. I don't fear giants. I don't fear trials and tribulations. I know that these things work for my good in the long run, that all things work together for good to those who love him and are called according to his purposes.” I know I am, and I know you are as well. You're loved by God. You're called. His plans for you are good. So don't fear. Nothing can harm you because you are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. Remember that and you'll have an amazing day.
