Fear Not
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"But straightway Jesus spoke unto them, saying, "Be of good cheer; it
is I; be not afraid" (Matt. 14:27).
God never comes with a message of fear. You can start in the Old
Testament and trace all the way down through the New, and you will see
that every time God manifested Himself to people, or sent angels or
Jesus Himself, they always came with the message, "Be not afraid! Fear
not!"
Fear doesn't come from God. It comes from the Devil. And Christians,
including preachers and teachers, have no business going around putting
fear into people.
We hear so much fear preached: Fear of sickness and disease; fear of
what's going to happen in the world; and fear of the Devil. The way some
people preach about demons causes people to be afraid.
I preach about the Devil and demons, too, but I preach that we've got
authority over them. I preach that we should always remember, in all our
encounters with the Devil, that He's a defeated foe.
Fear is not the message of the Church. Faith is the message of the
Church. Good cheer is the message of the Church. "Be not afraid" is the
message of the Church.
Confession: I am of good cheer. I am not afraid. I fear not. That is
the message of God my Father to my heart. It is also His message to
others. Therefore, my message to others is: Faith and good cheer. Be not
afraid. Fear not!
