God Is With You

The number one enemy to faith is fear. The moment a person starts fearing, that means their faith has diminished or almost extinct. Because if we had faith, why would we fear? Because faith builds confidence and builds trust in the Lord who is my shepherd.

And when you have confidence in the Lord and when you have trust in the Lord, you will fear nothing. But the moment that faith is shaken, the moment that faith becomes extremely, extremely weak, the first thing that engulfs a human being is fear. They start fearing to the degree where they begin to fear their own shadow.

You walk and you look back, you walk and look behind you to see who is following you and sometimes you get startled by your own shadow. Why are you chasing me? Stop chasing me. And you try and step on that shadow with no prevail.

So what King David is saying, yea, though I am in the core of Satan's territory, I will not fear him. Because Jesus Christ is with me. My child, whatever you do, don't ever be afraid of anyone or anything.

We become afraid of, I don't know what the future holds for me, for my family, especially my children and with all the evil that is happening in the world. I don't know what the future holds for my little angels. I'm afraid I may not have a job tomorrow.

Who's going to provide? I'm afraid the illness is going to take me away. Who's going to look after the family? I'm afraid the business is not going to do so well. I don't know how to manage.

I'm afraid if I don't marry Rachel, I might end up killing myself. It is either Rachel or nothing else. Get a life my dear friend.

There is plenty of other Rachels awaiting you. She is not the last definitely. I'm afraid.

Why are you afraid for? King David says, don't ever be afraid of worldly things because I walked in the depth of hell, the shadow of death, the valley of the shadow of death. And even when I walked in the depth of hell, I feared no evil. Then why are you afraid of little things? I didn't fear the impossible.

Why are you being afraid of the possible? I will say be afraid when there is no comeback ever again to Christ and that is hell. But even when I was in hell, I never feared that I will never come back to Christ because I believed that he will get me out of that hell. Then why are you afraid of things that are still possible by the human? My goodness.

The most incredible. I don't want to say feeling because feeling doesn't serve it right. The most incredible state of being is when you have let go of everything and placed it in the hand of the Lord Jesus.

There is no greater being in that situation than when you have given everything to the one and only Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The moment you let go and when I say let go, I don't mean you don't care anymore. No, there is a letting go and there is a different letting go.

There is one letting go where you lose hope. No, there is a letting go where you have full hope, confidence, trust, faith and love in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. When you let go, having that faith, that confidence in the Lord, you will be the happiest ever human being to exist.

The happiest. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. Even though I'm walking through the valley of the shadow of death in hell, I'm still reading the signs because I'm walking.

I'm not running. I'm not rushing to leave. I am taking my time before the Lord Jesus delivers me.

Incredible. You know when you have this kind of a faith, it will move mountains and mountains here is Satan. By the way, when the Lord says if you had a faith like a mustard seed, a size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain to be to be plugged and be thrown into the deep.

That mountain is referring is referred to Satan. So even though I'm in that in the depth of that hell, but I'm walking. I'm taking my time.

I'm not rushing. Why? Because the Lord is with me in the most difficult time of my life. When I hit rock bottom, I am alone.

I am useless, hopeless, disorientated, empty, numb, cold, miserable, you name it. But I am still walking. Well guess what? On one side of walking is stopping and on the other side of walking is running.

Both of them are wrong and dangerous. Don't ever stop. You know why? Because if you stop, the Lord Jesus who is the light of the world, he says it, I am the light of the world.

Guess what? The light moves, never stops. The light moves. So the Lord says, if you want to remain in my light, don't ever stop.

And if you want to understand my light, don't ever run. You need to walk, just like your master, your Lord, your shepherd. The Lord is your shepherd who is the light of the world.

He walks, he never runs. If you run, you're going to outrun him. You're going to be swallowed by Satan before you know it.

You cannot walk before the Lord, you need to walk behind him. Because he is the shepherd and you are the sheep. The sheep can't walk before the shepherd, always follows the shepherd.

Otherwise, the sheep will lose its orientation. They will lose it. So we need to walk, my beloved, in order to remain in the light and to read the signs thoroughly and clearly, to understand where we're heading next and what is happening in our life.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, no Satan. Why I will fear no Satan or no evil? For you are with me. You, my Lord, are always with me.

What did the Lord Jesus say as a promise to every faithful, to every follower of the Lord Jesus? He says, I will not leave you orphans. Don't ever say, I'm alone. Don't ever say, I am forgotten.

Don't ever say, I'm left behind. I will leave you. I will not leave you orphans.

I am with you all the days of your life. All means all, not 99.99999 of a percent. No, it is 100% without fail.

Jesus Christ is with you every single day of your life and until the end of all ages, i.e. forever. Do you have faith in this? Do you believe in him? Do you trust him, my beloved? If you do, you will not fear evil, even if you are walking in that hell because the Lord is with you. For you are with me.

You know, when you have someone in your life that you rely on heavily, you feel comfortable, you feel safe and secure, especially a female. When a female has her man who is her safety net, who is the real provider for her, for whatever she needs and lacks, whenever she feels vulnerable, she runs to him because she feels safe and secure. He is the protector.

He is the one who provides for me. When she feels that, you see her happy. You see her at ease, at peace, comfortable.

But the moment she realizes or even feels she has no one to look after her, you see her frightened, crying, mixed emotions, unsettled, not knowing what to do next because I feel vulnerable now. I'm open. I'm a prey awaiting that vicious lion to come and devour me.

But when I am safe and sound, no, I am cool. I am calm. I am collected.

When the Lord is your safety net, when the Lord is your shield and butler, when the Lord is your fortress, when the Lord is your place of refuge and shelter, then hell matters no more. Because what matters is who am I with, not where am I. The place matters not as much as the owner of the place matters.
