DO
NOT
fear not, for I am with you; be not
dismayed, for I am your God; I will
strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold
you with my righteous right hand
(Isaiah 41:10, ESV)
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23, ESV)
DO
NOT…BECAUSE YOU LIVE,
EVEN IF YOUR BODY DIES.
we are confident and satisfied to be out of
the body and at home with the Lord. (2
Corinthians 5:8, HCSB)
But we are not like those who turn
away from God to their own
destruction. We are the faithful ones,
whose souls will be saved.
(Hebrews 10:39, NLT)
If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is
Lord," and believe in your heart that God
raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved. (Romans 10:9, HCSB)
DO
NOT…BECAUSE GOD IS
YOUR DEFENDER.
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out
early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots
had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we
do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet
answered. “Those who are with us are more than those
who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes,
Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the
servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of
horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (2 Kings
6:15-17, NIV)
You, dear children, are from God and have
overcome them, because the one who is
in you is greater than the one who is in the
world. (1 John 4:4, NIV)
DO
NOT…BECAUSE YOU ARE
EQUIPPED FOR BATTLE.
For the weapons of our warfare are not of
the flesh but have divine power to destroy
strongholds. (2 Corinthians 10:4, ESV)
For we do not wrestle against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the cosmic powers
over this present darkness, against the
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
places. (Ephesians 6:12, ESV)
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning
for three weeks. I ate no delicacies, no
meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did
I anoint myself at all, for the full three
weeks. (Daniel 10:2-3, ESV)
Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from
the first day that you set your heart to
understand and humbled yourself before your
God, your words have been heard, and I have
come because of your words. The prince of the
kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one
days, but Michael, one of the chief princes,
came to help me, for I was left there with the
kings of Persia (Daniel 10:12-13, ESV)
His divine power has given us
everything required for life and
godliness through the knowledge of
Him who called us by His own glory
and goodness. (2 Peter 1:3, HCSB)
DO
NOT…BECAUSE THE ENEMY
IS DEFEATED.
I have told you these things, so that in me
you may have peace. In this world you will
have trouble. But take heart! I have
overcome the world. (John 16:33, NIV)
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? …No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Romans 8:31-37, ESV)
DO
NOT…BECAUSE GOD HAS
GOOD PLANS FOR YOU.
And we know that in all things God works
for the good of those who love him,
who have been called according to his
purpose (Romans 8:28, NIV)
“For I know the plans I have for you,”
declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you
and not to harm you, plans to give you
hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV)
DO
NOT…BECAUSE HE IS THE
HEALER OF NATIONS.
Then the angel showed me the river of the water
of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the
throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle
of the great street of the city. On each side of the
river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops
of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the
leaves of the tree are for the healing of the
nations. (Revelation 22:1-2, NIV)
If my people, which are called by my
name, shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face, and turn from their
wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their
land. (2 Chronicles 7:14, KJV)
