Fear Not from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about fear, and the importance of pressing on even though we are afraid. When God calls you to do something, often fear is the first guardian that will be sent to stop you from accomplishing it. The Apostle Paul wrote to Timo... -
But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. ...

Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don't you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 WEBA wealthy friend of mine once picked up his daughter's car to take it in for an oil change while she was at work. He stayed gone a really long tim...

He said to them, 'Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.' Mark 16:15 WEB
Jesus spoke these words to the eleven Apostles before He ascended to heaven. There is so much that could be said about this, but today we cover 'The Gospel.' The word Gospel means 'glad tidings, good or joyful news.' We are to proclaim the 'good and joyful news' to the whole creation.
The good news: Lord Jesus the King is returning and His kingdom will be established on the earth, just as it is in heaven. He died to take away the sins of the world, and He will take yours away today if you let Him.
The earth will be restored and become the paradise that it was created to be. The wolf and the lamb will graze together (Isaiah 11:6). The lion will eat grass. Children will be able to play with cobras (11:8). There will be no more sickness, pain, or death, no more child abuse, and no one will hurt anyone else.
People today need hope more than ever before. I know from experience that people that have nothing to live for, are not threatened by hell. They feel they are already there. Like an injured animal backed into a corner, more threats are not helping them come out of it. Many are living in their own hell, right here on earth.
What they need is a light in the darkness, a way out. Jesus can give them that and make their life meaningful again. It is not too late. As long as you have breath, there is hope. When you share the good and joyful news with someone, do it lovingly, or not at all.
Prayer: Heavenly Father please guide me today and help me make the right decisions. Let me see the hurting through Your eyes. Take away my pain and fill my heart with Your love. Speak to me and through me, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray

When I lost our home, I turned my back and said," Lord Jesus,this is bigger than I can handle. I place it in your hands, I will go where you want me to go and live where you want me to live!" You will not believe where he put me,1 block over,2 _3 blocks down,lives 1 of the men who murdered my daughter. I am not questioning Jesus Christ. But, like the pastor said,there are allot of shut-ins,and, I am one. I pray for understanding but try,oh,try so hard not to question,so, yes, I only go out every 3 months to my doctor. I have a list of doctors to go and see at 71yrs old,but, I'm scared if someone sees me,or,have to go to the hospital,nurses,know me there. I pray and pray with no relief coming.Can someone,some where,please help me ?Thank you and God's blessings to all of you. Amen. From a Shut-ins in
