* Be not afraid: Don't be moved by fearful thoughts.

 
Comments by Joan Boney:

When fearful thoughts come to us they are often from devils.  Those thoughts are usually trying to get us to do something and especially to "push" us into doing something.

Do not give place to the devil.  

When we act by a thought sent by a devil, we give place for the devil to operate in our lives.

(Remember the devil is a liar and the truth is not in him, so when devil brings a thought telling us what someone is thinking or doing concerning that which we said or did, the opposite is often true.)

John 8:44  Jesus said:  He (the devil) was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

2 Corinthians 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

(Imaginations are often from devils who want to torment us.)

Instead, we should turn to God with fears and ask God to settle us.  For if we speak when we are afraid, often we bring confusion and evil and end up tormenting all who hear us.

So when we are troubled, we should take that concern to God in prayer and see what God would have us do in the issue.

Philippians 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
