Do not fear, only believe

Do not fear, only believe.

There are many times in the bible where Jesus told the people not to be
fearful or afraid. He always encouraged them to believe in Him, the One who
never fails. The One who has perfect faith in the Almighty God!

When the disciples were faced with a perfect storm, their hearts were
terribly shaken and they pleaded with Jesus as though He didn't care. Jesus
was awaken from the cry of His disciples and He awoke to calm the perfect
storm which turned to perfect calm. The turned to His disciples to calm
their hearts from being afraid.

When Jairus was informed of his daughter been dead, I think his heart would
have been frozen and he probably would have lost all hope for his daughter
to be alive again. However, Jesus just told him not to fear but only
believe for He has the power to raise the dead. Jesus went on with Jairus
to his home and there He raised Jairus' daughter from the dead!

At the mount of transfiguration, Peter, James and John were afraid for God
had just spoken to them: "This is my beloved Son, hear Him." Jesus simply
comforted them by saying, "Do not be afraid" Oh! What gracious word that
came out of Jesus' mouth!

Jesus is always speaking gracious word to us. The Holy Spirit is always
guiding us with grace. He is never agitated. He is full of patience. He is
full of grace and peace. He always guide us in the path of righteousness
and peace.

If we are facing some insurmountable debts, do not be afraid and believe on
the One who had given up everything so that we through His poverty at the
cross shall be made rich. We shall lack no material thing in life.

If we dealing with some dreaded diseases, do not fear and only believe on
the One who had declared we are already healed for He was pierced, striped
and burnt on our behalf.

Beloved of the Lord, trust the Lord for He is good. His mercy endures
forever. His thoughts toward us are good and His plans for us are
victorious in Him. Believe in His word and see the working miracles of God
manifested in our lives. Hallelujah!
