Have NO Fear, NO Anxiety, NO Stress

Cathy

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. [John 16:33]

The Lord has put it on my heart to do an episode to simply encourage you. To remind you that you are an awesome child of God, that you are worthy. you are an overcomer, and that God is still in control.  etc. etc.

As a single woman, 2024 could be unsettling if you are looking at what is going on in the world. There are evil things happening and the economic forum is planning even more deception and confusion. There was a separation of believers and people in general in 2020 during covid; the plannedemic. Trust me, another separation is coming, and I don’t want you to be deceived again. (if you were this first time).

Yes, here on earth we will have trials and sorrows, but girlfriends our Jesus has overcome the world for us!!! Just as John 16:33 says, we can have peace regardless of all the evil things happening around us. My goal is to help you focus on what God is saying instead of the evil people who have no power over your mind, home, health, wealth, family, homes, guns etc.

****More context on podcast….

We are going to focus on ten scriptures then I’m going to end with many passages from my favorite book in the entire bible.

  1. YOU HAVE AUTHORITY

Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.  But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven. [Luke 10:20]

  • You have authority over the enemy
  • You have the authority over evil
  • Nothing can harm you
  • YOU are registered in heaven!!!
  1. YOU ARE FREE

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. [Romans 8:1-2]

  • You have no condemnation

  • You belong to God almighty
  • You are set free from sin
  • You are free from death

God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. [1 Corinthians 1:30]

  • You are pure
  • You are holy
  • You are free from sin
  • You have wisdom through Christ
  • You are right with God
  1. YOU HAVE NO FEAR

This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. [2 Timothy 1:6-7]

  • You are fearless
  • You have power
  • You have Godly love
  • You have self discipline
  • You have spiritual gifts from God
  1. YOU HAVE HOPE

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. [Romans 15:13]

  • You have hope

  • You are overflowing.

  1. YOU ARE STRONG

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. [Isaiah 40:31]

  • You trust in the Lord
  • You have new strength
  • You will soar like an eagle
  • You will run and not grow weary
  • You will walk but you will not faint
  1. YOU ARE FULL OF JOY

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. [Philippians 4:4-9]

  • You are always full of joy
  • You have God’s peace
  • You are considerate in all that you do
  • You don’t worry about anything – ever
  • You pray about everything – always

    • Admirable
    • Excellent
    • Worthy of praise
  1. YOU KNOW THE PATH TO WALK

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. [Proverbs 3:5-6]

  • You trust in the Lord
  • You depend on His understanding
  • You seek His will in your life
  • You allow Him to show you which path to take
  1. YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD

See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him. [1 John 3:1]

  • You know how much your heavenly father loves YOU
  • You are a child of God
  • That is what you are – a Child of God
  • God calls YOU his child
  1. YOU HAVE POWER AND AUTHORITY

Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. [Ephesians 1:21-22]

  • We are looking down at principalities.
  • We are starting at the top when fighting these demonic forces
  • Satan has no power unless we give it to him
  • We are an overcomer
  • Jesus is king and so am you
  • God intended for us to be like Jesus

Revelation 21 and Revelation 22:1-5

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.

And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End.

To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.

But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

So he took me in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.  It shone with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious stone—like jasper as clear as crystal. The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates. There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west. The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles. Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (according to the human standard used by the angel).

The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve precious stones: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,  the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.

I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory. Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no night there. And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations. No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him. And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever. [Revelation 22:1-5]
