The fact that you are afraid does not mean you have lost the battle. Some people think that feeling fear means they have lost the battle and so they throw in the towel. I am telling you today that you can feel fear and still be on course. I want you to put fear in its proper place today. The greatest of men sometimes do things while afraid.<\/p>\n<p>When we were going to take our land as a church, someone asked me if I was afraid. My response was and is, \u201cSo what? Does fear <!--more-->dethrone Jesus? Does fear change the fact that from eternity to eternity He is God? Does fear change the fact that \u201cthe earth is the Lord\u2019s and the fullness thereof\u201d?\u201d It does not, so I put fear in its place and I embrace the Word of God. And this is why you have to fall in love with the Bible, that is if you have not fallen in love with the Bible already. You have to embrace the word of God.<\/p>\n<p>Fear is nothing; because God is present. So do not be afraid. Keep the Word of God close to your heart. For instance, God\u2019s Word says in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Isa.41%3A10+&amp;version=NLT\">Isa.41:<\/a><strong><sup>10<\/sup>\u00a0\u201c<\/strong><em>Don\u2019t be afraid, <strong><u>for I am with you<\/u><\/strong>.\u00a0Don\u2019t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand<\/em>\u201d [with emphasis]. I want to encourage you &#8211; take this is particular Scripture and read it over and over and over again, Believe me, fear cannot withstand God\u2019s Word. Banish fear from your life. God will strengthen you, but he is saying do not be afraid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ps.84%3A11&amp;version=NLT\">Ps.84:<\/a><strong><sup>11<\/sup>\u00a0\u201c<\/strong><em>For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing\u00a0from those who do what is right<\/em>.\u201d For everyone trusting God for the fruit of the womb, God will give you the grace to conceive. For everyone trusting God for financial fruitfulness, God will give you the grace to conceive and He will take the glory. Think about it; is fruitfulness a good thing? God will not withhold fruitfulness from you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong> [song]: Imela, Imela (<em>Thank You!
