Chapter 4: The Weapon of Praise: Silencing the Enemy with Worship

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” — James 4:7 (KJV)

Introduction

Father, forgive me of all sin. As I come before Your people today, Lord, I bless You and worship You. Use my voice for Your glory. Let every believer be edified, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Welcome, Daily Word family! We are now in Part Four of our series, Cause the Devil to Run in Terror. Our foundational scripture comes from James 4:7-10:

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” — James 4:7-8 (KJV)

To resist means to actively oppose or stand against. To flee means to run away from danger or pursuit. When a believer submits to God and resists Satan, the enemy has no choice but to flee—because a submitted believer becomes spiritually dangerous.

As 2 Corinthians 10:4 tells us:

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.”

This means we do not fight spiritual battles with human strength or physical weapons. We use spiritual tools, empowered by God, to defeat demonic strongholds and dismantle every argument or barrier the enemy tries to build against us.

Weapon #1: Praise to God

Praise is one of the most powerful spiritual weapons in our arsenal. Satan absolutely hates when believers lift up the name of the Lord in worship.

James 1:2-3 says:

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.”

Even when we’re going through trials, Scripture tells us to respond with joy. That confuses the enemy and strengthens our spiritual foundation.

Consider how David responded in Psalm 100:1-5:

“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise:
Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.”

This passage is not just poetic—it’s prophetic. Praise opens the door to God’s presence and shuts down the enemy’s schemes. Trials may come, but when we praise, we realign our hearts with heaven and invoke God’s power.

The Weapon of Intimacy with God

James 4:8 calls us to draw near to God, and He will draw near to us. This is not just an invitation—it’s a weapon. Intimacy with God causes the enemy to flee.

Satan despises our praise because he craves it for himself. His downfall began with the desire to be worshiped.

In Isaiah 14:13-14, the prophet reveals the pride in Satan’s heart:

“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”

Notice that Satan didn’t speak these things aloud—he said them in his heart. And yet God judged him for the pride that existed within.

God Sees the Heart

This truth is consistent throughout Scripture. In 1 Samuel 16:7, when Samuel was choosing a king among Jesse’s sons, the Lord reminded him:

“For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

David, though overlooked by men, was chosen by God because of his heart. Despite his failures, God referred to David as a man after His own heart (1 Samuel 13:14).

Like David, we must cultivate inner qualities that matter to God—faithfulness, repentance, humility, honesty, and a deep desire to please Him. These are the attributes that form a heart after God, and they equip us for battle against the enemy.

Closing Summary

When you praise God in the midst of trials, you unleash a weapon that confuses the enemy and draws God closer to you. The devil cannot stand a worshipping believer.

Conclusion

Praise is not just worship—it’s warfare. When we submit to God and lift Him up, we strip the enemy of power and position. Let praise be your battle cry and your breakthrough.

6 Takeaways

  • Spiritual weapons are empowered by God, not man.

  • Praise confuses the enemy and aligns us with God.

  • James 4:8 promises intimacy when we draw near to God.

  • Satan fell because of pride in his heart—not just his words.

  • God values the heart over outward appearance.

  • David’s heart after God made him victorious even in weakness.

Cause The Devil To Run In Terror (Part 3)

Chapter 3: Becoming the Devil’s Worst Nightmare

Subtitled: The Power of Submission, Resistance, and Intimacy with God

Opening Prayer
Father, forgive me of my sins. As I come before Your people to minister the Word, I lift You up, Father. I glorify Your name.
I give You all the honor and all the glory. Thank You for giving me a ready word that will build up, edify, and exhort the believers. Today, Father, we choose to trust You even more.
We thank You and give You praise. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Believers, as we continue discussing why the enemy wants us to focus on our circumstances, trials, and tests, we arrive at Part 3 of our series titled “Cause the Devil to Run in Terror.”

Our foundation for this teaching is James 4:7:

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (KJV)

Let’s briefly review:

  • Resist means to refrain from doing or yielding to something—especially temptation.

  • Flee means to run away from danger.
    So, when believers resist Satan, he flees. Why? Because a submitted believer is dangerous.

Another way to resist the devil is to be sober and vigilant.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” — 1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)

Satan is not omnipresent. He goes to and fro, searching for believers who are not submitted to God, making them vulnerable prey. But a sober and vigilant believer is alert, watchful, and ready to proclaim the Gospel. The Word of God is our defense.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” — 2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV)

This means we must be spiritually armed, alert, and prepared. Fellowship with other believers, declaring the Word of God, and standing in faith are ways we resist the enemy.

The Greek word for resist means to “stand against.”
Its Latin root resistere means to take a stand—mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually—against a threat. The more you submit to God, the more you terrify the devil.

Let’s now look deeper into James 4:8:

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” (KJV)

This is a call for believers to seek intimacy with God. It is also a promise: when you draw near to God, He will draw near to you.

Drawing near means approaching God with worship, humility, and repentance.

  • “Cleanse your hands” refers not only to ceremonial cleansing but to turning away from sin.

  • Pilate washed his hands to symbolize detachment, but God calls us to actually separate ourselves from sin.

  • “Purify your hearts” means to resolve to serve God and abandon the desire to serve both self and God.

A double-minded person is torn between two loyalties and is not fully committed to God.

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” — James 1:8 (KJV)

Double-mindedness leads to instability and is a barrier to receiving wisdom. It shows a lack of mature faith and trust in God. A believer’s life must be rooted in complete trust in the Word of God.

The closer you draw to God, the more you become empowered by Him. This divine empowerment prevents spiritual strongholds from ever being established in your life. Why? Because you’re living in the presence of God.

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.” — Isaiah 54:17a (KJV)

James 4:8 promises that as we draw near, God responds with intimacy and presence. This spiritual connection strengthens us, keeps us grounded, and prepares us to resist the enemy effectively.

Conclusion

The enemy loses power over a life that is fully submitted to God. When you resist Satan through submission, worship, purity, and vigilance, you become a threat to the kingdom of darkness.

Key Takeaways

  • Submission to God is the starting point of spiritual victory.

  • Resistance means an active stance against temptation and sin.

  • Spiritual vigilance keeps us alert and protected.

  • Drawing near to God invites His presence and empowerment.

  • Double-mindedness leads to instability and spiritual weakness.

  • Spiritual warfare is fought through worship, the Word, and unwavering faith.

Cause The Devil To Run In Terror (Part 4)

Cause the Devil to Run in Terror (Part 2)

by | Apr 21, 2025 | The Daily Word with Pastor KBN

Chapter 2: Standing Firm in Faith
Subtitle: The Power of Submission and Resistance to Defeat the Enemy

Today is another day that the Lord has blessed us. We are alive, and we are grateful. Amen.

It is a privilege to rise each day and open our mouths in praise and worship to our God. Father, I thank You. I was filled with excitement for this moment.

Good morning to our family across the globe. Let us continue our journey in the Word. I am truly excited to share with you today. So, let’s begin.

A Prayer of Dedication
Father, forgive me of any sin. As I open my mouth to glorify You and deliver the word You have given me, let Your people be built up, encouraged, and inspired. Let them glorify You and give You praise today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We continue our series titled “Why the Enemy Wants You to Focus on Your Circumstances, Trials, and Tests.” One of the key reasons is that Satan wants believers to live in fear. Fear paralyzes faith and causes believers to forfeit their God-given authority.

This week’s focus is on James 4:7–10, and today we move into Part 2 of “Cause the Devil to Run in Terror.” If you missed Part 1, I encourage you to go back and listen to it.

Let us now revisit James 4:7:

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” – James 4:7 (KJV)

Yesterday, we focused on the latter portion—“he will flee from you.” We learned that when you submit to God, you become the enemy’s worst nightmare. The devil will flee—meaning he will run away from danger. And you, as a believer, filled with the power and presence of God, are that danger.

The Power of Resistance

Let’s turn our attention to the beginning of the verse: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil…”

The word resist means to withstand or oppose the action or effect of something. Think about how someone might say, “I couldn’t resist buying that blouse,” or “I couldn’t resist telling them how I felt.” In both cases, it implies a pull—a temptation—that was not opposed. But spiritual resistance is intentional and requires determination.

To resist means to:

  • Refrain from sin or temptation.

  • Withstand external and internal pressures.

  • Stand firm against an opposing force.

Consider the body’s immune system: it resists infection. In the same way, believers are called to spiritually resist the devil’s attacks through God’s power and truth. Resistance is a choice—a conscious, daily decision.

While many in our culture, including celebrities and influencers, have openly submitted to the enemy, we are commanded to submit to God. Submission to God is the first step toward victory over Satan.

The Greek Origin of “Resist”

The Greek word for resist is antistēmi, a compound of anti (against) and histēmi (to stand). It means “to stand against.” To resist the devil is to stand in direct opposition to him and his schemes.

We can remember this with the acronym T.F.P.:

  • T – Proclaim the gospel.

  • F – Fortify yourself against Satan’s attacks.

  • P – Pray for God’s strength and wisdom to stand.

Resistance is Active, Not Passive

You must intentionally pull away from the lies of the enemy and speak God’s truth. This includes daily affirming God’s love, goodness, and power over your life.

Submitting to God involves:

  • Yielding to His will.

  • Living righteously.

  • Trusting Him fully.

  • Cultivating intimacy through prayer, fasting, and worship.

As Isaiah 59:19 (NKJV) declares:

“When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”

This verse reminds us that God does not leave us defenseless. He raises a standard and fights with us and for us.

Spiritual Applications of Resistance

  1. Prayer and Fasting
    These spiritual disciplines help align your heart with God’s will and build resistance against temptation.

  2. Bible Study
    Knowing the Word of God equips you to speak truth when the enemy attacks with lies.

  3. Worship
    Worship deepens your relationship with God and strengthens your spirit to stand firm.

  4. Testimony
    Revelation 12:11 (KJV) says,

    “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony…”
    Your story of deliverance is a weapon against the enemy.

  5. Putting on the Armor of God
    Refer to Ephesians 6:10–18 for the full armor needed to resist the enemy: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word, and prayer.

  6. Spiritual Weapons
    2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV) tells us:

    “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.”
    The devil attempts to build strongholds—fortresses of fear, sin, and doubt—but God’s power tears them down.

We must take sin seriously. Sin creates a separation from God and opens the door to the enemy. Ask God for forgiveness daily. As I often teach, I ask God for forgiveness both when I rise and when I go to sleep. I don’t leave room for the enemy to gain a foothold.

Conclusion

When we submit to God and actively resist the devil, we invoke the power of heaven to stand on our behalf. The enemy has no choice but to flee.

6 Key Takeaways

  • Submit to God daily — Obedience is your strongest spiritual weapon.

  • Resist the enemy intentionally — Standing firm in truth repels the devil’s attacks.

  • Spiritual resistance is a choice — Choose faith over fear and righteousness over sin.

  • Use God’s weapons — Prayer, fasting, the Word, and worship are powerful tools.

  • Don’t take sin lightly — Confess and repent regularly to stay spiritually protected.

  • Your testimony has power — Sharing your story strengthens you and silences the enemy.

Cause The Devil To Run In Terror (Part 4)

Cause the Devil to Run in Terror (Part 1)

by | Apr 18, 2025 | The Daily Word with Pastor KBN

Cause the Devil to Run in Terror

Chapter 1: The Dangerous Believer

We have the God-kind of faith! Let’s take a moment to praise Him.
It’s a beautiful day whenever God gives us another opportunity to glorify His name. This is Pastor Kevin Burroughs-Neeley from KCI Kingdom Ministry, and I’m excited to share with you a powerful and transformative Word. Let’s pray:

“Father, forgive me of my sins. I thank You for the revelatory knowledge You’ve given me to impart to believers today—wherever they are in the world. May they be edified, encouraged, and empowered by Your truth. We give You praise for Your Word. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Today’s teaching is centered on a profound truth: You can cause the devil to run from you in terror.
Let that sink in.

We often hear testimonies like, “The devil’s got me on the run.” But the truth of the Word flips that script entirely. The Bible teaches that you, as a believer, are meant to put the devil on the run—not the other way around.

Let’s go straight to James 4:7 (KJV):

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Let’s unpack that, starting with the phrase “he will flee from you.”

What Does Flee Mean?

To flee means to run away quickly, often in fear or desperation. It implies urgency, danger, and a strong desire to avoid something unpleasant. In this context, when you submit to God and resist the devil, you become unpleasant to Satan. He flees from you.

Not from the church.
Not from a pastor.
From you—the submitted and resisting believer.

Let’s look deeper at the meaning of flee:

  • To escape

  • To retreat

  • To vanish

  • To take flight

  • To run from danger

So, when James 4:7 says the devil will flee from you, it means he’s trying to disappear from your presence. He’s retreating, escaping, and vanishing—not casually, but urgently, as though you’ve become a serious threat. Why? Because you have.

You Are Dangerous to the Enemy

Believer, you become dangerous to the kingdom of darkness when you walk in this truth.
Submission to God is not weakness—it is spiritual warfare at its most powerful. When you submit, you are aligning yourself with God’s authority. And when you resist, you are denying the enemy access, participation, and influence.

Let’s be clear: James 4:7 is not metaphorical. It is practical and powerful. When you live submitted to God and stand firm against the enemy, Satan has no choice but to flee.

This revelation should completely shift your posture.
No more walking in fear.
No more running from attacks.
You are the threat now.

Resist Means to Take Action

Let’s now consider the word “resist.” In the original Greek, the word implies to oppose, to stand against, to withstand, to actively fight. It’s not passive.

To resist means:

  • To refrain from yielding to temptation.

  • To stand firm against pressure.

  • To oppose and reject the schemes of the enemy.

Think about this practically:

  • “I couldn’t resist buying that blouse.”

  • “I couldn’t resist telling them off.”
    In both cases, resistance is the force that either holds you back or lets you go forward.

In spiritual terms, resistance means you choose God’s will over Satan’s bait.

The Bible also says in 1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV):

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith…”

The devil seeks, but he may not devour everyone. He only devours those who do not resist.

A Dangerous Revelation

Now, get this revelation:
When you live in full submission to God, you become the devil’s worst nightmare.

This is not hyperbole. It’s biblical.
The enemy isn’t fleeing because of you alone.
He’s fleeing because of who you are in Christ and the authority you walk in through submission and resistance.

Final Thoughts

The testimonies that say, “The devil has me on the run,” need to be rewritten. According to Scripture, it’s the devil who’s supposed to run in fear, not you.

Your authority in Christ, exercised through submission and resistance, makes you a force to be reckoned with in the spiritual realm.

Conclusion

When you submit to God and resist the devil, you become a powerful, dangerous believer—one the enemy fears. Stand firm. You’re not the hunted—you’re the threat.

Takeaways

  • James 4:7 teaches us that the devil flees from those who submit to God and resist him.

  • Flee means to escape quickly due to fear—you become spiritually unpleasant to Satan.

  • Submission to God aligns you with divine authority.

  • Resistance is active: it means to oppose, withstand, and refuse the enemy’s schemes.

  • You are more than a conqueror and the devil’s worst nightmare when you walk in obedience.

  • Stop running from the enemy—stand firm and make him run instead.

Fear vs. Faith (Part 7): A Holy Fear That Builds Faith

Fear vs. Faith (Part 7): A Holy Fear That Builds Faith

by | Apr 17, 2025 | The Daily Word with Pastor KBN

Are you excited about today? I sure am!
I’m so grateful just to be alive, and I don’t take anything for granted.

I thank God for the ability to wake up, walk, see, and hear. To have hands that function, a voice to speak, ears to listen, and eyes to see—it’s all a blessing. We should never take these things lightly, because there are people who are struggling in areas we often overlook. But God has blessed you—and for that, we show gratitude.

Lord, I thank You for providing shelter. Some people don’t have a place to call home. Some are homeless and searching for comfort, but here we are—safe, covered, and loved. Thank You, God, for a healthy family and for blessing and protecting our homes. Truly, God is good all the time.

You might say, “Pastor KBN, you seem pretty excited this morning.” No—I’m just grateful. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the goodness of God.

So, let’s get started. I’m truly excited this morning. Thank you for being with us!

Let’s pray:
Father, forgive me of any sin. As I stand before Your people today, I surrender myself to You. Use my mouth and voice to audibly speak the words You’ve placed in my spirit. May the believers be edified, built up, and encouraged today. Let what You’ve placed on my heart bring revelation and inspiration to them. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen and amen.

We’re continuing with our series: “Why the Enemy Works So Hard to Distract Us with Negativity.”
He wants us to dwell on trials, tests, and tough circumstances. The enemy wants us to live in fear—what I call the “big F-bomb” for believers.

But this morning, I want to ask you something: Is there such a thing as good fear?

Let me explain. The word is “awe.”

In the Bible, awe is a profound emotion that combines fear, reverence, and honor—especially in relation to God. The Hebrew word “yirah” is often translated as “fear” but also means awe, reverence, respect, and worship. It appears throughout Scripture and is closely associated with recognizing God’s holiness, power, and authority.

Awe is foundational to wisdom and understanding. It’s more than an emotion—it’s a disposition, a heart posture. Awe is a response to who God is and what He has done through creation, provision, redemption, and judgment.

Biblical Examples of Awe:

Let’s look at Luke 8:23–25:

“But as they sailed, He fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake; and they were filled [with water], and were in jeopardy. And they came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, ‘Master, Master, we perish!’ Then He arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. And He said unto them, ‘Where is your faith?’ And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, ‘What manner of man is this! For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him.’”

That’s awe.

Have you ever personally experienced an angelic encounter? I remember one from my childhood. The house was dark, and we weren’t supposed to be awake, but my siblings and I were running around playing. Suddenly, the lights went out, and we saw a glowing angel. We were terrified—we ran upstairs and hid under the bed!

Here’s another moment of awe from Mark 16:

“And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white robe; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, ‘Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.’”
—Mark 16:5–7, NKJV

Awe. Reverence. Shock. Holy fear. That’s what happens when you witness God’s hand in action.

Proverbs 1:7 says:

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
This isn’t “fear” as in being scared. It’s reverent respect—an acknowledgment of God’s authority and holiness.

When you fear God rightly, you begin to walk in wisdom. You submit to His will, and the Holy Spirit begins to guide, warn, and direct you. You gain insight and sound judgment simply by acknowledging God.

It’s a game-changer.

I love how David, when he sinned, would always return to God. What he feared most was not punishment—but separation from God’s presence.

Let’s look again at Proverbs 1:7, through different translations:

  • NIV: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

  • New Century Version: “Knowledge begins with respect for the Lord, but fools hate wisdom and discipline.”

  • Holman Christian Standard: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.”

Let that settle in your spirit.

Have you ever tried to give advice to someone who just couldn’t receive it? Like talking to a brick wall? That’s what Proverbs means by a fool—someone who rejects wisdom and discipline.

But when you reverence God, when you walk in awe of Him, knowledge begins to flow.

Listen, we’re out of time for today, but I’ve got so much more to share. So let’s pick this up again tomorrow.

I love you. Be encouraged. And remember: the fear (awe) of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

God bless you, and I’ll see you again tomorrow.

Conclusion:

The fear of the Lord isn’t about terror—it’s about reverence. Embrace awe, gain wisdom, and unlock peace that surpasses understanding through a holy fear that draws you closer to God.

Takeaways:

  • Fear of the Lord is rooted in awe and reverence, not fear of punishment.

  • Reverence leads to wisdom, clarity, and strength in daily life.

  • The enemy uses fear to distract you from God’s power.

  • Holy fear produces peace, stability, and spiritual maturity.

  • God’s presence becomes more real when you honor Him with awe.

Fear vs. Faith (Part 7): A Holy Fear That Builds Faith

Fear vs. Faith (Part 6): The F-Bomb the Enemy Wants You to Drop—FEAR. But God says, “Fear not, I am with you.”

by | Apr 16, 2025 | The Daily Word with Pastor KBN

Father, forgive me of sin. As I open my mouth, Father, use my words to edify the believers. Let those that are here be built up, and be excited about serving you, I know that you will never leave them, nor forsake them.

I give you praise in Jesus’ name, Amen. We’re continuing with why Satan wants the believers to focus on their circumstances, trials, and tests. Well, because he wants believers to focus on the believers’ F-bomb.

That is fear. All right, you heard that here first on KCI Kingdom Ministries, Pastor KBN. The believers’ F-bomb.

Fear. And as we stated in our last lesson, our lesson before that, fear began in the garden, of course, in Genesis 3 and 10. But I love 3 and 9 because God came looking for them, and at the end of 3 and 9, He says, Where art thou?

And, of course, in Genesis 3 and 10, Adam answered and said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid. There you go. Where fear began in the garden.

And because I was naked and I hit myself. So there, of course, we know the fact of when he got in sin, then fear came in. Now, let’s stick a pin in that right there.

Now, that’s a valid point, because if you notice that as soon as Adam got in sin, they hid, him and Eve hid. And it’s no difference than today. When people make errors, instead of running to God, they run away from God.

They separate themselves from God and try to hide, as if God doesn’t know. You know, it’s simpler just to go back to God and just do like David did. It’s like, Father, I blew it.

I flat out made mistake. God already knows it. So we might as well just already just go to God and just simply ask forgiveness.

And that’s one of the things that you notice that I always do before every lesson. And I’ve shared this over and over again. And I’m believing that it’ll just spread across the whole world, that people will just begin to just simply ask God to forgive them.

Before you go to bed, before I start the lesson, when I get up in the morning, Father, just forgive me. None of us are perfect. You’re going to make an error.

But don’t run from God and alienate yourself. And that was what Satan worked to do. How can I alienate Adam and Eve from God?

How can I separate them? And sin was the separation. So therefore, when you make an error, don’t run from God, run to Him.

Let’s look at Isaiah 41 and 10. But I just want to remind you, believers, it is said in the Bible, there is over 365 fears not in the Bible. I wonder, did God know that we would need to say to ourself or take into our circumstances, trials, and tests, hey, I don’t fear you.

I’ve got authority over you. I am more than a conqueror through the blood of Jesus. I have authority over you in Luke 10 and 19.

I bind fear. I cast fear down. God knew that we would need it.

So he reminds us over 365 times, fear not. Now, let’s go to Isaiah 41 10. It says, fear thou not, for I am with thee.

Be not dismayed, for I am God. I will strengthen thee, yea. I will help thee, yea.

I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. You see, believers, when the enemy comes in like a flood, you need the word of God to lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 41 10.

The Bible promises so much for us. God’s presence, His strength, His help. It can be a source of comfort when the enemy challenges you.

Take that word and lift up that standard. You know, in Isaiah 41 10, God made five promises to us. He promises that, I am with you.

We envision Moses standing before Pharaoh. And as Moses goes and he is asked, God, who should I say sent me? And God told him, tell him, I am sent you.

And guess what? Today, we’re talking about the same God who never changes. His word doesn’t change.

He is there for us and he is saying, I am with you. Aren’t you glad he is with you today? Remember, he will never leave you nor forsake you.

And as we said last week, so never leave or forsake him. You see, I don’t know who I’m speaking to this morning because the enemy may be trying a swarming attack on you. You may feel so overwhelmed that you don’t seem to know where to turn.

But that’s all right. Remember, have the confidence that you can reach up and go to God. Remember, just don’t run from God.

You may have made a mistake this morning. You may have made an error, but don’t run from him, but run to him. And when the enemy swarms you, know that God is saying, I am with you.

I am your God. I will help you. I will strengthen you.

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Oh, yeah, the right hand, the hand that demonstrates power and authority. Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the throne of God.

I am with you. God will be with you. He will walk with you.

He will be by your side. You may not see him. You may not even feel him or hear him.

You may not even drink, but he’s there. Don’t give up. Don’t give in.

Just trust at God’s promises. Listen, take the time to think about God’s promises and the good plans that he has for us. Go back and read Jeremiah 29 and 11.

I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, that give you an expected end. You are on earth for a reason. You are somebody special.

God didn’t waste time making junk. You are very, very special. And even though the enemy tries to make you feel worthless, the Satan is a liar.

Remember, the Bible says, and he is the author of lies. You are God’s sons and daughter. Get up, go to God, and reach out to him.

Take the time to look at God’s promises and the plans. Listen, that alone should revive our spirits and fill us with hope and expectation and excitement. God’s word also strengthens us to keep going, not give up, not give into temptations.

The truth is, we need God’s strength just to make it through each day. Listen, don’t give in to the fear of the enemy. Remember, fear separates you from God, just like sin.

These verses can apply to our lives today by reminding us, God is with us in the midst of our trials, and in the midst of circumstances, we can trust Him. It also is an invitation to release our anxieties and replace them with the trust of God. Believers, I have no idea what you are facing today.

We’re speaking to believers all over the world today, internationally. I have no idea what you’re facing today, but I know the Spirit of the Lord is saying to you, giving you His Word, Isaiah 41 and 10. Fear not, for I am with you.

Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you.

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. When we feel alone and overcome with fear, we can focus on the truth that God is with us. Remember Hebrews 13, 5b.

He says, For he said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. Remember Philippians 4, 7, and 8. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

Finally, my brother, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report. If there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things. We’re out of time.

Look, I’ll be back with you tomorrow. God bless you.
