FEAR NOT – Pressure Or Peace Genesis 2: 26 Amplified Bible (AMP) 26 God said, Let Us (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) make mankind in Our image, after Our Likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the (tame) beasts, and over all of the earth. 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. A thing consists of the same material from which it came and must remain attached to its source in order to live and maximize its potential Genesis 3: 8 -10 Amplified Bible (AMP) 8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, Where are you? 10 He said, I heard the sound of You [walking] in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.

So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. [a] 14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death— that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Saul replied, “When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Mikmash, 12 I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the LORD’s favor. ’ So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering. ” 13 “You have done a foolish thing, ” Samuel said. “You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. 14 But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the LORD’s command. ” Saul Lost Everything because of YIELDING To FEAR/PRESSURE Wait on Jesus!

They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say? ” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her. ” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him. ” 2 Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me. ” 3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods, [b] Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt. ” 24 So I told them, ‘Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off. ’ Then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!”

FEAR NOT – Pressure Or Peace (4) Pressure On Cephas (Peter) Galatians 2: 11 -13 New International Version 11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
