I fear no evil

November 26, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

PIC by Caters News:   Inside, the room of my heart is bright and vibrant with color which Jesus illumines within me.  “Even though I walk the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” – Psalm 23: verse 4


Amplified Version:

Even though
I walk through the [sunless]
valley of
the shadow of death

[a Or valley of deep darkness],

I fear no evil,
for You are with me;

Your rod [to protect] and
Your staff [to guide],
they comfort and console me.
– Psalm 23:4

Our daily walk through The Valley of Deep Darkness
Like the Psalmist, King David, we walk through darkness these days.  King David knew suffering, death and destruction.  And yet he said, “I will fear no evil.”

We too can say today, “I will fear no evil.” And the reason why?  Not because I’m bigger and stronger, richer and unbeatable.

I will fear no evil because Jesus said (to all of us):

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]

Jesus said He has this for us – not we ourselves.  He, through His Spirit in us, has, for us: “perfect peace”.

We are facing an unprecedented age of darkness.  Dark, dark evil is overwhelming the entire world.  Satan is establishing his “end game” to counter God’s plan of the ages.  But I choose to say, “I will fear no evil.”

The reason why I choose “no fear”?  Because I am on God’s side.  And He wins in the end. God is my Big Protector and my Wisest of Guides. We are going to live and rule with Him forever!

John 14:1-3
“Let
not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

Don’t let it

“Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.”

I have a choice: let it, or, not.  Become troubled? Become afraid?  Sure as heaven, I can let my heart be overwhelmed and fearful, afraid.  The evil around me is certainly that dark. (It’s around us all.)

But I choose to trust in God.  His Word is sure.  What the world offers?… not so much.

Inside,
the room of my heart is bright
and vibrant with color
which Jesus illumines within me.

“Even though I walk the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.”
– Psalm 23: verse 4

Those who might kill your body
Jesus pointed-out that there are those who might kill your body.  “Do not fear those.” I will not be afraid of them. What can they do after they kill?  They cannot injure my soul. So Jesus tells us:

Matthew 10:28
Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Jesus is our constant companion.  I’ve got His joy.  1

Hebrews 13:5  Amplified
“I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!”

Satan is establishing his “end game”
to counter God’s plan of the ages.
But I choose to say,
“I will fear no evil.”

Believe His revealed truths.  Why allow yourself to be afraid of demons, the dark, of being “alone”, when God is providing His angels to guard us at all times.  Why be afraid that “something” bad is going to happen to us?

If we believe in ghosts and demons around us (especially in the dark!), why not take the whole counsel of God’s Word — and believe His revealed truths about angels and demons.  Too often believers believe the Devil’s teachings — rather than God’s teachings!  Movies and novels are not biblical truth!

I choose to believe God:

I am not alone in the dark.  I am not alone at any time.  God resides in my body.  God watches over me, because He is my “Abba Father”.  His will for my life definitely will be accomplished – because He is in me and has promised to “continue that good work” in me. (Philippians 1:6)  I will not fear.

This is the believer’s daily call to faith:

I will believe God’s promises.  I will not fear what this day brings.  I will not give heed to the philosophies of man and demons.  I will not fear what man or Satan may do to me or do around me.  My God is greater.  God is greater than all of them, and He has me in His Hands.  He has promised to continue His work  in and through me.  I will live this day as His representative here where I live on this earth.  I will live and move and have my being this day by God — in the power of His Holy Spirit within me.  I will not be afraid.


Hebrews 1:14
Are not all the angels
ministering spirits
sent out [by God] to serve
(accompany, protect)
those who will inherit salvation?
[Of course they are!]

What joy and exhileration – soon

 

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Philippians 1:6

6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work [a]among you will complete it [b]by the day of Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

16 Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. 17 For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.

Hebrews 13:5   New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5 …He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you”

 

Do not fear, I will help you

Hebrews 13:5   Amplified Bible (AMP)

Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said,

“I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!”

2 Timothy 1:7

7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].

Romans 8:15  [As born again “sons of God” – we have an adopted Father-son relationship with God, now.  We can address Him as “Abba Father”.  We have a much more familiar relationship than the followers in the Old Testament eras.]

15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “[a]Abba! Father!”

BibleGateway Footnote:

“Abba!”

    1. Romans 8:15 An Aramaic word used by young children when addressing their fathers, but not used by Jews in prayer because it implies a sense of familiarity. Jesus’ use of the word emphasized his Father-Son relationship with God.

2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, [a]and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one [b Or from evil].

2 Timothy 2:11-13
11 The statement is trustworthy:

For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
12 If we endure, we will also reign with Him;
If we [f]deny Him, He will also deny us;
13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

Hebrews 10:22-24
22 let’s approach God with a [a Lit true] sincere heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let’s hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering,
for He who promised is faithful;

24 and let’s consider how to [b Or stir up] encourage one another in love and good deeds

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it. The Koran declares that it was written to confirm the previous revelations and not to replace the Bible according to Sura 5:48 which says, “And We have sent down to you the Scripture with truth, authenticating what is […]

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” as […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

A quick overview of the Bible (tongue-in-cheek). A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. 

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017
Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.  1.25.2017
What God has going on with us here on this planet.
God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom. 3.23.2016

Cognitive Dissonance
...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.  8.14.2018
Actually Try To Do The Deed 3.23.2016   “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? 2.19.2018
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad. 9.31.2020

Fear of death enslaves you

Are you living the good life – with courage and confident hope?

Dividing Eternity
