READ: John 20:19-23

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY

Some theologians say that if you search the Scriptures carefully, you will find out that the phrase ‘fear not’ was mentioned in one form or another 365 times.
Thus, if you are afraid of anything at all, God has a word for you for each day of the year: fear not.
Romans 8:37 says that you are more than a conqueror through Christ, who loved you.
The primary reason you should not be afraid is that God loves you. Child of God, do you know and believe that God loves you? Are you assured of His love? If you are, fear not!

After Jesus Christ rose from the dead and visited His disciples, He told them not to be afraid. When He visited them, they were sorely afraid because He had been crucified. Today’s Bible reading tells us that they shut the doors where they were gathered because they were afraid.
One of the beautiful things about God’s visit is that when He’s ready to visit you, no door can keep Him away, because He Himself is the door of the sheep (John 10:7). Whenever you are afraid, He will visit you to say, “Fear not.” In John 14:1, Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” When you believe in the Almighty God, you will not have any cause to be afraid. Even when fear knocks on the door of your heart, God will visit you to reassure you of His love.
I decree in the name above every other name that you are free from any torment of fear you may be under.

1 John 4:18 says that fear has torment. Wherever fear exists, oppression, suppression, and limitation will also prevail. God does not want you to live under the torment of fear. Instead, He wants you to live by faith because where there is faith, fear disappears.
When you are confident that God is your helper, you will not be afraid of what any man can do to you (Hebrews 13:6). When you are assured of God’s love and care, you will not be afraid when you face a storm because you know that God will never leave you to perish.

Beloved, fear not. God loves you, and He will never leave nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). He cares about you, so cast your cares and fears upon Him and put your mind at rest.

KEY POINT
God loves you; fear not!
