FAITH CAPSULES:\u00a0<\/strong>Fear is not of God but sinks one with no faith.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Kings 6<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among forces that will reduce one as it reduces many in the Bible is giving self to fear instead of having faith in God.
From the book of Genesis to Revelation, there are recordings of ones in position or walked in the nearness of God but yet give self to fear ignorantly.
For example, lack of clarity of sight physically, spiritually by the servant of Elisha aroused fear of the enemy that reduced him but, the prayer of Elisha delivered him not to end life wasted.\u00a0
2 Kings 6:15-17<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0documents the fear of enemies by the servant of Elisha and the intervention of the prayer of Elisha,\u00a0“And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, \u201cAlas, my master! What shall we do?\u201d 16 So he answered, \u201cDo not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.\u201d 17 And Elisha prayed and said, \u201cLord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.\u201d Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
Fear is not of God belongs to the wicked one as a weapon to reduce one to destroy. When the spirit of fear strikes, faith sinks.
In a journey with Jesus, the disciples gave themselves to fear and their faith experienced with sinking.
When the disciples saw Jesus walking on the sea, fear settled in them because they could not recognize Him.\u00a0
Jesus spoke boldness for them to be calm.
The disciples could not come out of fear when Peter asked to walk on the sea as Jesus did.
Matthew 14:28-32\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>records,\u00a0\u201cLord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.\u201d So He said, \u201cCome.\u201d And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, \u201cLord, save me!\u201d 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, \u201cO you of little faith, why did you doubt?\u201d 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.”<\/em><\/strong>
When faith is not in place, fear will strike to reduce and sink one.
Every documentation in the Bible testifies that with prayer, challenges to be reduced shall experience deliverance to live life for the glory of God.
With a desire to live life for God, search yourself and know if there is wickedness with agenda to deny, delay or destroy not to live life for God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
