Alas! Alas...

"The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, Alas, alas…" Revelation 18.15

Those who don't fear God TODAY, will do one day. On that day, those who never said: Oh! What a day!… Will say: Alas! Alas… It's the final judgement.

Whoever has ears to hear what the Holy Spirit says, let them hear and convert immediately, when there's still the chance.

Strong and courageous

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1.9

God doesn't ask for the impossible. When there's a need for strength and courage, He's asking for obedience to His Will, even if we go against the whole world. Only those who persevere are strong. Only those who are determined are courageous.

Who believes?

"The LORD gives voice before His army, for His camp is very great; for strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; who can endure it? "Joel 2.11

Up to here, the enemies have destroyed the Lord's Vineyard. But He has risen from His Throne and is raising strong numerous people, who are willing to execute His orders. As in the days of Gideon, this people is not afraid of their enemies.

Fear

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."

1 John 4: 18

Those who know God live by faith, they have assurance that His eyes are upon their lives, there's no fear, for they feel secured in God's love.

Deliverance

"Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever."

Exodus 14:13

Those who trust in God wait patiently for their answer. For it'll come in it's right tim, He will save.

Fear

"Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You."

Psalms 56: 3

This is the Word that uplifts and strengthens: when fear comes, I'll trust in Him who promised!
