WHAT DOES IT TAKE OTHER THAN MENTALLY FEARING GOD? - Fear is an emotion or state of mind. We need to do more than just think about God in this manner. We need to put feet to our thoughts and walk the Christian walk not just talk the Christian talk.

The verses that we used above tell us to keep the Sabbath and His Statutes, walk in His Ways, observe all the Words of the Law, serve God in sincerity and truth, hate evil, keep His Commandments, perfect holiness towards God, submit ourselves one to another, wives reverence their husbands, work out our salvation, be subject to our masters, have a chaste conversation, and love God and man.

SHOULD WE FEAR DEATH? - Death is the ultimate fear for most people. Should a Christian fear death? For a Christian, death is leaving this life on earth for a better life in Heaven. It is walking into eternal life with God. It is leaving an imperfect body for a perfect body.

We should not fear death. What should we do? We should walk out our salvation with fear and trembling, and prepare to die. We should love God, trust in God and relax in His Peace. If we can't trust God for the here-and-now, how are we going to trust God for the here-and-after? Do you fear death?

NERVOUS HABITS - Let's look at several definitions: Nervous: originating in or affected by the nerves; easily excited or irritated; JUMPY, TIMID, APPREHENSIVE; tending to produce nervousness or agitation; UNEASY; appearing or acting unsteady, erratic, or irregular. Nervous breakdown: an attack of mental or emotional disorder of sufficient severity to be incapacitation especially when requiring hospitalization. Nervous Nellie: a timid or worrisome person. Do you have nervous habits or characteristics that other people would notice?

Habit: manner of conducting oneself; BEARING; bodily appearance or makeup especially as indicative of one' capacities and condition; the prevailing disposition or character of a person' thoughts and feelings; mental makeup; a settled tendency or usual manner of behavior; a behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance; an acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary; ADDICTION.

FAITH, TRUST AND LOVE OF GOD - We need to be fearless: free from fear. We do not need to be fearful, apprehensive or afraid. Perfect love casts out fear, I Jo. 4:18. Perfect love of God drives away fear of man and fear of what will happen to you. For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, II Tim. 4:8. (Try singing this verse over and over again to dispel fear.) Demonic fear comes from Satan, not God. Shall He not much more clothe you, Matt. 6:30. Do not be fearful about what you shall eat or drink, or how you will be clothed. Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith, Matt. 8:26. Have faith in God and get rid of your fear.

Nervous habits stem from the emotion of fear. For the Christian, nervous habits stem from the lack of faith and trust in God and His Provisions. They stem from trusting in yourself or man rather than God.

What are you hiding from? What are you afraid of? Did your parents abuse you as a child? Does your husband or wife mistreat you? What have people done to you to cause you to fear others or things?

SHOULD WIVES FEAR THEIR HUSBANDS? - Eph. 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. In this verse, reverence (phobe) means to be terrified, affrighted, afraid. Here is a good verse for you women to ponder; are you reverencing your husband? If not, what are the consequences to your marriage and family? 

SHOULD HUSBANDS LOVE THEIR WIVES? - Col. 3:18-21 Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. These four little verses are the keys to a perfect family in God. For you husbands, this love (agapao) is the Love of Christ. Eph. 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. This verse spells it out clearly for you men; you know what Christ gave for the church - his life.

PRAYER - Victory Over Fear

Father, in Jesus’ name, I confess and believe that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and any tongue that rises against me in judgment I shall show to be in the wrong. I believe I dwell in the secret place of the Most High. I shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty God, Whose power no foe can withstand — this secret place hides me from the strife of tongues.

I believe the wisdom of God’s Word dwells in me, and because it does, I realize that I am without fear or dread of evil. In all my ways I know and acknowledge God and His Word; thus, He directs and makes straight and plain my pathway. As I attend to God’s Word, it is health to my nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to my bones.

I am strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in my inner self by the Holy Spirit Himself Who dwells in me. God is my Strength and my Refuge, and I confidently trust in Him and in His Word. I am empowered through my union with Almighty God. This gives me the superhuman, supernatural strength to walk in divine health and to live in abundance.

God Himself has said, I will never leave you without support or forsake you or let you down, my child. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless or relax my hold on you...assuredly not! (based on Hebrews 13:5 amp) I take comfort and am encouraged and confidently and boldly say, “The Lord is my Helper. I will not be seized with alarm. I will not fear or be terrified, for what can man do to me?”

I confess and believe that my children are disciples taught of the Lord and obedient to God’s will. Great is the peace and undisturbed composure of my children — because God Himself contends with that which contends with me and my children, and He gives them safety and eases them. God will perfect that which concerns me.

This Word of God that I have spoken is alive and full of power. It is active and operative. It energizes me, and it affects me. As I speak God’s Word, it is sharper than any two-edged sword, and it is penetrating into my joints and into the marrow of my bones. It is healing to my flesh. It is prosperity for me. It is the magnificent Word of Almighty God. According to His Word that I have spoken, so be it! Hallelujah! Amen.
