I'm Joyce Meyer. I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

Does anybody here ever experience any fear?

You think, you know, the main purpose of fear is to hold you back to keep

you from going forward and um i want you to listen to what i'm going to say we receive from

god through faith and we receive from the devil through fear. I'll say it again. We receive from God

through faith and we receive from the devil through fear. If we fear the fears that he tries to put on

us, then we're giving him an open door into our lives. And there's only one reason

the Bible ever gives not to fear. It's in the Bible all over the place. God says, fear not for I am with

you. He doesn't tell us what he's going to do or when he's going to do it, but we don't really need to

know. We just need to trust God that he's going to do it, but we don't really need to know.

We just need to trust God that he will do the right thing at the right time if we continue believing in him. Fear not, for I am with you. Now, he didn't say not to feel fear. He said

not to fear. And the word fear means to take flight or to run away from.

So the whole big thing about fear is nobody can stop you from feeling fear.

Nobody can stop the enemy from attacking you with fear.

But just because you feel fearful or you shake or you tremble or, you know, it's something you've never done before.

That doesn't mean that you can't confront it.

Come on.

Fear is not going to just disappear unless you confront it.

You have to learn to say, no, I'm going to do what God is asking me to do I will not fear you know

David said so often in the Psalms I will not fear and I think he was making a statement

that he needed to hear himself and we need to hear ourselves say that I will not fear. I'm not going to let fear rule my life.
