I Will NOT Fear....

I am so tripping out right now! I was lead to the 'I will not fear' link while running a search on BibleGateway for the prayer I just previously posted. I know the prayer by heart, although I could not remember the chapter and verse to reference for you. I didn't even think of grabbing my Bible from the bookshelf. I confess I have not read the Bible in a long time. I only know the verses that touched my spirit by heart.

In my last post, Nancy Leigh DeMoss refers to Isaiah chapter 43 while describing why we should always feel secure in God's presence. Something inside my spirit prompted me to pull my Bible from my bookcase and look up Isaiah chapter 43. I read the entire chapter and all I can say is Oh-My-God! This is God's response to what has been unfolding right before our very eyes. However, this message is meant to be received by ALL of God's children, this includes you and me. We are ALL God's children. The Gates of Heaven are open to ALL who genuinely LOVE Him. For God is the Creator of the Uni-verse, the ONE-song that you and I sing together in Harmony!

*********************************

I have taken the following Isaiah 43: 5-13 from BibleGateway that way you are able to read the entire chapter if you choose to and when reading this chapter receive this message as if it were written specifically for you to hear:

5. Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.

6. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth-

7. everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."

8. Lead out those who have eyes but are blind, who have ears but are deaf.

9. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled. Which of them foretold this and proclaimed to us the former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses to prove they were right, so that others may hear and say, "It is truth."

10. "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD," and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.

11. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.

12. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses, "declares the LORD," that I am God.

13. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?"
