Sacrifice from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. When Jesus came walking past the disciples in their fishing boat late one night, Peter called out to Him and asked if he could join Him and walk on the water. (Matthew 14:28–31 NKJV) And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if ... -

Do Not Be Afraid

While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, 'Your daughter is dead. Don't trouble the Teacher.' But Jesus hearing it, answered him, 'Don't be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.' Luke 8:49'50 WEB.
Jairus had a twelve-year-old daughter that was deathly sick and could not get out of bed. He came to Jesus, fell down at His feet, and begged Him to come and heal her. Jesus went with him, but while on the way, someone met them on the road and told them: "Your daughter is dead."
Jesus told Jairus: "Don't be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed." A short time later, his daughter was well. This had to be a challenging test for Jairus, but afterward, he had a testimony. I am sure it included: "Don't be afraid, just believe, and it will be well."
There will always be those who tell you things contrary to what God has told you. Fear will always be the opposite of faith. Unbelief will always be the opposite of believing. When the Lord has spoken to you, hang onto it, and do not listen to the negative voices. Don't be afraid, just believe, and it will be well.
No matter what circumstance you face today, these words still hold eternal power that you can claim for your very own. Do not be afraid. Believe the word of God. It will be well for you.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, please help me stand firm on Your word and put my trust in You. Forgive me for my fears and my lack of faith in the past. Show Yourself strong in my life and speak to me in a way that I understand. Send the Comforter to me as You promised, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

So DO NOT tell others what GOD told you so that they cannot tell you it's not true or just your imagination. GOD told Adam not to eat the fruit of one tree and Eve told satan what GOD had told them and satan immediately began sowing seeds of doubt so that she and even Adam later doubted GOD'S command.
This happened to me by a supposed believer who told me GOD did not warn me of this thing - the death of Ringo my beloved dog and best friend ever. Only to cause doubt or wishful thinking in me until the warning came true because I allowed this doubt to affect my decisions and behavior. Sometimes GOD though longsuffering will not warn you twice!
They would not do it - sow doubt - if it did not work.
We see media do it all the time - "oh that is not true"
"It's been debunked so don't believe the truth."
Just keep conversations with GOD private.
It's this simple: Obey GOD and fear GOD. Ecclesiastes 12:13
My sincere condolences for the loss of Ringo. I totally relate and still miss every dog I have ever owned.
Heavenly Father I thank You for all You have done for me, sometimes I feel discouraged but I now You will send the Comforter to help me eliminate the fears I have. Speak to me and through me so I can understand, in Jesus Christ name I pray, Amen. Praises to You Lord.
Awesome message Pastor, God bless you and Sylvia.
Yes Lord Jesus, amen
Amen!
God I get so doubtful please strengthen me. Amen
