By Jesus, Elijah and Other Men of God.

Mark 5:25-29
25 Now there was a woman subject to a flow of blood 12 years,
26 and she had been put to many pains by many physicians and had spent all her resources and had not been benefited but, rather, had got worse.
27 When she heard the things about Jesus, she came behind in the crowd and touched his outer garment;
28 for she kept saying: “If I touch just his outer garments I shall get well.”
29 And immediately her fountain of blood dried up, and she sensed in her body that she had been healed of the grievous sickness.

Deuteronomy6
20 “In case your son should ask you in a future day, saying, ‘What do the testimonies and the regulations and the judicial decisions mean that Jehovah our God has commanded YOU?’
21 then you must say to your son, ‘We became slaves to Phar´aoh in Egypt, but Jehovah proceeded to bring us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

22 So Jehovah kept putting signs and miracles, great and calamitous, upon Egypt, upon Phar´aoh and upon all his household before our eyes.

Prayers and fasting

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” When Jesus saw that the people came running together,
He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” So He said to them,
“This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.” (‭Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭23-29‬ NKJV)

Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.
22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

The flow of Blood

Matthew 9:19-31
19 Then Jesus, getting up, began to follow him; also his disciples did. 20 And, look! a woman suffering twelve years from a flow of blood came up behind and touched the fringe of his outer garment; 21 for she kept saying to herself: “If I only touch his outer garment I shall get well.” 22 Jesus turned around and, noticing her, said: “Take courage, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And from that hour the woman became well.

23 When, now, he came into the ruler’s house and caught sight of the flute players and the crowd in noisy confusion, 24 Jesus began to say: “Leave the place, for the little girl did not die, but she is sleeping.” At this they began to laugh at him scornfully. 25 As soon as the crowd had been sent outside, he went in and took hold of her hand, and the little girl got up. 26 Of course, the talk about this spread out into all that region.

A Blind Man receive Sight.

27 As Jesus was passing along from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying: “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” 28 After he had gone into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus asked them: “Do YOU have faith that I can do this?” They answered him: “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying: “According to YOUR faith let it happen to YOU.” 30 And their eyes received sight.

Stop Doubting and Fear.

Matthew 14:27 32

27 But at once Jesus spoke to them with the words: “Take courage, it is I; have no fear.” 28 In reply Peter said to him: “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you over the waters.” 29 He said: “Come!” Thereupon Peter, getting down off the boat, walked over the waters and went toward Jesus. 30 But looking at the windstorm, he got afraid and, after starting to sink, he cried out: “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately stretching out his hand Jesus caught hold of him and said to him: “You with little faith, why did you give way to doubt?”

The Worship Jesus.
Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.” (‭Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭33‬ NKJV)

Jesus Feed the Crowd

Matthew 15:32-39
32 But Jesus called his disciples to him and said: “I feel pity for the crowd, because it is already three days that they have stayed with me and they have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away fasting. They may possibly give out on the road.” 33 However, the disciples said to him: “Where are we in this lonely place going to get sufficient loaves to satisfy a crowd of this size?” 34 At this Jesus said to them: “How many loaves have YOU?” They said: “Seven, and a few little fishes.” 35 So, after instructing the crowd to recline upon the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fishes and, after offering thanks, he broke them and began distributing to the disciples, the disciples in turn to the crowds. 37 And all ate and were satisfied, and as a surplus of fragments they took up seven provision baskets full. 38 Yet those eating were four thousand men, besides women and young children. 39 Finally, after sending the crowds away, he got into the boat and came into the regions of Mag´a·dan.

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU. 29 Take my yoke upon YOU and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and YOU will find refreshment for YOUR souls.
30 For my yoke is kindly and my load is light.”

Matthew 13:53-58
53 Now when Jesus had finished these illustrations he went across country from there. 54 And after coming into his home territory he began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said: “Where did this man get this wisdom and these powerful works? 55 Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Where, then, did this man get all these things?” 57 So they began to stumble at him. But Jesus said to them: “A prophet is not unhonored except in his home territory and in his own house.”
Xx
58 And he did not do many powerful works there on account of their lack of faith.

Transfiguration of Jesus

Mathew 17:1-9
1 Six days later Jesus took Peter and James and John his brother along and brought them up into a lofty mountain by themselves. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his outer garments became brilliant as the light. 3 And, look! there appeared to them Moses and E·li´jah, conversing with him. 4 Responsively Peter said to Jesus: “Lord, it is fine for us to be here. If you wish, I will erect three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for E·li´jah.” 5 While he was yet speaking, look! a bright cloud overshadowed them, and, look! a voice out of the cloud, saying: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved; listen to him.” 6 At hearing this the disciples fell upon their faces and became very much afraid. 7 Then Jesus came near and, touching them, said: “Get up and have no fear.” 8 When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus himself only. 9 And as they were descending from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying: “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of man is raised up from the dead.”

A boy with Demon

Matthew 17:14
When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water. Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.” Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?” He said to them, “Because of your unbelief.

For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.” (Matthew 17:14, 15, 17-21 , Mark 9:17-29 WEB)World English Bible.

2 Corinthian 10
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage warfare according to [what we are in the] flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful by God for overturning strongly entrenched things. 5 For we are overturning reasonings and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God; and we are bringing every thought into captivity to make it obedient to the Christ; 6 and we are holding ourselves in readiness to inflict punishment for every disobedience, as soon as YOUR own obedience has been fully carried out.

Galatia 3:
5 He, therefore, who supplies YOU the spirit and performs powerful works among YOU, does he do it owing to works of law or owing to a hearing by faith?
6 Just as Abraham “put faith in Jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness

Luke 7:18-23
20 When they came up to him the men said: “John the Baptist dispatched us to you to say, ‘Are you the Coming One or are we to expect another?’”
Xxx
21 In that hour he cured many of sicknesses and grievous diseases and wicked spirits, and granted many blind persons the favor of seeing.
22 Hence in answer he said to the [two]: “Go YOUR way, report to John what YOU saw and heard: the blind are receiving sight, the lame are walking, the lepers are being cleansed and the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, the poor are being told the good news.

Luke 10:17-20
17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying: “Lord, even the demons are made subject to us by the use of your name.”
18 At that he said to them: “I began to behold Satan already fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 Look! I have given YOU the authority to trample underfoot serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will by any means do YOU hurt.
20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice over this, that the spirits are made subject to YOU, but rejoice because YOUR names have been inscribed in the heavens.”

Luke 18:35-43
35 Now as he was getting near to Jer´i·cho a certain blind man was sitting beside the road begging. 36 Because he heard a crowd moving through he began to inquire what this might mean. 37 They reported to him: “Jesus the Naz·a·rene´ is passing by!” 38 At that he cried out, saying: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 And those going in advance began to tell him sternly to keep quiet, but that much more he kept shouting: “Son of David, have mercy on me.” 40 Then Jesus stood still and commanded the [man] to be led to him. After he got near, [Jesus] asked him: 41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He said: “Lord, let me recover sight.” 42 So Jesus said to him: “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” 43 And instantly he recovered sight, and he began to follow him, glorifying God. Also, all the people, at seeing [it], gave praise to God.

John 5:1-14
After this, Jesus went to Jerusalem for a religious festival. Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there is a pool with five porches; in Hebrew it is called Bethzatha. A large crowd of sick people were lying in the porches — the blind, the lame, and the paralysed.
Xxx
A man was there who had been ill for 38 years. Jesus saw him lying there, and he knew that the man had been ill for such a long time; so he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” The sick man answered, “Sir, I have no one here to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am trying to get in, somebody else gets there first.” Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.” Immediately the man got well; he picked up his mat and started walking.
Xx
The day this happened was a Sabbath, so the Jewish authorities told the man who had been healed, “This is a Sabbath, and it is against our Law for you to carry your mat.”
Xxx
Afterwards, Jesus found him in the Temple and said, “Listen, you are well now; so stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” (John 5:1-3, 5-10, 14 GNB)

Paul’s Apron and Cloths Cure Sick People.

Act 19:11 -18
And God kept performing extraordinary works of power through the hands of Paul,
12 so that even cloths and aprons were borne from his body to the ailing people, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits came out.

13 But certain ones of the roving Jews who practiced the casting out of demons also undertook to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those having the wicked spirits, saying: “I solemnly charge YOU by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
14 Now there were seven sons of a certain Sce´va, a Jewish chief priest, doing this.
Xx
15 But in answer the wicked spirit said to them: “I know Jesus and I am acquainted with Paul; but who are YOU?” 16 With that the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, got the mastery of one after the other, and prevailed against them, so that they fled naked and wounded out of that house. 17 This became known to all, both the Jews and the Greeks that dwelt in Eph´e·sus; and a fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus went on being magnified. 18 And many of those who had become believers would come and confess and report their practices openly.

Philip went to the principal city in Samaria and preached the Messiah to the people there. The crowds paid close attention to what Philip said, as they listened to him and saw the miracles that he performed. Evil spirits came out from many people with a loud cry, and many paralyzed and lame people were healed. So there was great joy in that city. (Acts 8:5-8 GNTD)

Peter was freed from Prison by the Angel of God

The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists. Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him. Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him. (Acts 12:6-10 NIV)

Miracles of Elijah

Fed by Ravens

And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord : for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. (1 Kings 17:1-6 KJV)

Raises Widow’s Son

1 Kings 17:17-24 KJV)
And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him. And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son? And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. And he cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again. And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth. (

Widow’s meal and oil replenished

1 King 17:8-16
8 The word of Jehovah now came to him, saying: 9 “Rise up, go to Zar´e·phath, which belongs to Si´don, and you must dwell there. Look! I shall certainly command there a woman, a widow, to supply you food.” 10 Accordingly he rose up and went to Zar´e·phath and came into the entrance of the city; and, look! a woman, a widow, was there gathering up pieces of wood. So he called to her and said: “Please, get me a sip of water in a vessel that I may drink.” 11 When she began to go and get it, he went on to call to her and say: “Please, get me a bit of bread in your hand.” 12 At this she said: “As Jehovah your God is living, I have no round cake, but a handful of flour in the large jar and a little oil in the small jar; and here I am gathering up a few pieces of wood, and I must go in and make something for myself and my son, and we shall have to eat it and die.”

13 Then E·li´jah said to her: “Do not be afraid. Go in, do according to your word. Only from what is there make me a small round cake first, and you must bring it out to me, and for yourself and your son you can make something afterward. 14 For this is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said, ‘The large jar of flour itself will not get exhausted, and the small jar of oil itself will not fail until the day of Jehovah’s giving a downpour upon the surface of the ground.’” 15 So she went and did according to E·li´jah’s word; and she continued to eat, she together with him and her household, for days. 16 The large jar of flour itself did not get exhausted, and the small jar of oil itself did not fail, according to Jehovah’s word that he had spoken by means of E·li´jah.

Fire comes down from heaven and consumes his offering
1 Kings 18:36-38

36 And it came about at the time that the grain offering goes up that E·li´jah the prophet began to approach and say: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and I am your servant and it is by your word that I have done all these things. 37 Answer me, O Jehovah, answer me, that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the [true] God and you yourself have turned their heart back.”

38 At that the fire of Jehovah came falling and went eating up the burnt offering and the pieces of wood and the stones and the dust, and the water that was in the trench it licked up. 39 When all the people saw it, they immediately fell upon their faces and said: “Jehovah is the [true] God! Jehovah is the [true] God!” 40 Then E·li´jah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Ba´al! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·li´jah then brought them down to the torrent valley of Ki´shon and slaughtered them there.

Fed by angel

1 kings 19:5-7
5 Finally he lay down and fell asleep under the broom tree. But, look! now an angel was touching him. Then he said to him: “Rise up, eat.” 6 When he looked, why, there at his head was a round cake upon heated stones and a jug of water. And he began to eat and drink, after which he lay down again. 7 Later the angel of Jehovah came back a second time and touched him and said: “Rise up, eat, for the journey is too much for you.” 8 So he rose up and ate and drank, and he kept going in the power of that nourishment for forty days and forty nights as far as the mountain of the [true] God, Ho´reb.

Fire comes down from heaven and consumes 50 men and their Captain

2 Kings 1:9-12
9 And he proceeded to send to him a chief of fifty with his fifty. When he went up to him, there he was sitting upon the top of the mountain. He now spoke to him: “Man of the [true] God, the king himself has spoken, ‘Do come down.’” 10 But E·li´jah answered and spoke to the chief of the fifty: “Well, if I am a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and eat up you and your fifty.” And fire came descending from the heavens and went eating up him and his fifty.

11 So he sent again to him another chief of fifty with his fifty. In turn he answered and spoke to him: “Man of the [true] God, this is what the king has said, ‘Do come down quickly.’” 12 But E·li´jah answered and spoke to them: “If I am a man of the [true] God, let fire come down from the heavens and eat up you and your fifty.” And fire of God came descending from the heavens and went eating up him and his fifty.

Divide waters of Jordan

2 Kings 2:8
8 Then E·li´jah took his official garment and wrapped it up and struck the waters, and gradually they were divided this way and that way, so that both of them went across on the dry ground.

Elijah went up by whirl wind with Chariot of fire into heaven
2 kings 2:11,13
11 And it came about that as they were walking along, speaking as they walked, why, look! a fiery war chariot and fiery horses, and they proceeded to make a separation between them both; and E·li´jah went ascending in the windstorm to the heavens.
13 After that he picked up the official garment of E·li´jah that had fallen off him, and went back and stood by the shore of the Jordan.

Miracles of ELisha

Part water and goes over Jordan on dry land
2 Kings 2:14
Then he took the official garment of E·li´jah that had fallen off him and struck the waters and said: “Where is Jehovah the God of E·li´jah, even He?” When he struck the waters, then they were gradually divided this way and that way, so that E·li´sha went across.

Heals water with salt

2 kings 2:21-22
21 Then he went on out to the source of the water and threw salt in it and said: “This is what Jehovah has said, ‘I do make this water healthful. No more will death or any causing of miscarriages result from it.’” 22 And the water continues healed down to this day, according to E·li´sha’s word that he spoke.

Bears tears 42 Children

2 kings 2:23-25
And he proceeded to go up from there to Beth´el. As he was going up on the way, there were small boys that came out from the city and began to jeer him and that kept saying to him: “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24 Finally he turned behind him and saw them and called down evil upon them in the name of Jehovah. Then two she-bears came out from the woods and went tearing to pieces forty-two children of their number. 25 And he kept going from there to Mount Car´mel, and from there he returned to Sa·mar´i·a.

Country is filed with water without rain

2 kings 3:16-20
16 And he went on to say: “This is what Jehovah has said, ‘Let there be a making of this torrent valley full of ditches; 17 for this is what Jehovah has said: “YOU men will not see a wind, and YOU will not see a downpour; yet that torrent valley will be filled with water, and YOU men will certainly drink [from it], YOU and YOUR livestock and yYOUR domestic animals.”’ 18 And this will indeed be a trivial thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and he will certainly give Mo´ab into YOUR hand. 19 And YOU must strike down every fortified city and every choice city, and every good tree YOU should fell, and all the springs of water YOU should stop up, and every good tract of land YOU should mar with stones.”
20 And it came about in the morning, at the time of the going up of the grain offering, that, look! water was coming from the direction of E´dom, and the land came to be filled with the water.

Increase widow,s oil
2 kings 4:1-7
1 Now there was a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets that cried out to E·li´sha, saying: “Your servant, my husband, is dead; and you yourself well know that your own servant had continually feared Jehovah, and the creditor himself has come to take both my children for his slaves.” 2 At this E·li´sha said to her: “What shall I do for you? Tell me; what do you have in the house?” To this she said: “Your maidservant has nothing at all in the house but a spouted jar of oil.” 3 Then he said: “Go, ask for vessels for yourself from outside, from all your neighbors, empty vessels. Do not hold yourself to a few. 4 And you must go and close the door behind yourself and your sons, and you must pour out into all these vessels, and the full ones you should set aside.” 5 Upon that she went away from him.

When she closed the door behind herself and her sons, they were bringing [the vessels] near to her, and she was doing the pouring out. 6 And it came about that as soon as the vessels were full she went on to say to her son: “Do bring still another vessel near to me.” But he said to her: “There is no other vessel.” At that the oil stopped. 7 So she came in and told the man of the [true] God, and he now said: “Go, sell the oil and pay off your debts, and you [and] your sons should live from what is left.”

Birth of son to barren Shunamite woman

2 kings 4: 8-17
8 And it came about one day that E·li´sha went passing along to Shu´nem, where there was a prominent woman, and she began to constrain him to eat bread. And it came about that as often as he would pass by, he would turn aside there to eat bread. 9 At length she said to her husband: “Here, now, I well know that it is a holy man of God that is passing by us constantly. 10 Please, let us make a little roof chamber on the wall and put there for him a couch and a table and a chair and a lampstand; and it must occur that whenever he comes in to us he can turn aside there.”

11 And it came about one day that as usual he came in there and turned aside to the roof chamber and lay down there. 12 So he said to Ge·ha´zi his attendant: “Call this Shu´nam·mite woman.” At that he called her that she might stand before him. 13 Then he said to him: “Please, say to her, ‘Here you have restricted yourself for us with all this restriction. What is there to be done for you? Is there anything to speak to the king or to the chief of the army for you?’” To this she said: “In among my own people I am dwelling.” 14 And he went on to say: “What, then, is there to be done for her?” Ge·ha´zi now said: “For a fact, a son she does not have, and her husband is old.” 15 Immediately he said: “Call her.” So he called her, and she kept standing at the entrance. 16 Then he said: “At this appointed time next year you will be embracing a son.” But she said: “No, my master, O man of the [true] God! Do not tell lies in connection with your maidservant.”

17 However, the woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son at this appointed time the next year, just as E·li´sha had spoken to her.

Restore life to son of Shunamite woman
2 kings 4: 18-37

18 And the child kept on growing up, and it came about one day that he went out as usual to his father with the reapers. 19 And he kept saying to his father: “My head, O my head!” At last he said to the attendant: “Carry him to his mother.” 20 Accordingly he carried him and brought him to his mother. And he kept sitting upon her knees until noon, and gradually he died. 21 Then she went up and laid him upon the couch of the man of the [true] God and closed the door upon him and went out. 22 She now called her husband and said: “Do send me, please, one of the attendants and one of the she-asses, and let me run as far as the man of the [true] God and return.” 23 But he said: “Why are you going to him today? It is not a new moon nor a sabbath.” However, she said: “It is all right.” 24 So she saddled up the she-ass and said to her attendant: “Drive and go ahead. Do not hold back for my sake from riding unless I shall have said so to you.”

25 And she proceeded to go and come to the man of the [true] God at Mount Car´mel. And it came about that, as soon as the man of the [true] God saw her out ahead, he immediately said to Ge·ha´zi his attendant: “Look! The Shu´nam·mite woman over there. 26 Now run, please, to meet her and say to her, ‘Is it all right with you? Is it all right with your husband? Is it all right with the child?’” To this she said: “It is all right.” 27 When she came to the man of the [true] God at the mountain, she at once took hold of him by his feet. At this Ge·ha´zi came near to push her away, but the man of the [true] God said: “Let her alone, for her soul is bitter within her; and Jehovah himself has hidden it from me and not told me.” 28 She now said: “Did I ask for a son through my lord? Did I not say, ‘You must not lead me to a false hope’?”

29 Immediately he said to Ge·ha´zi: “Gird up your loins and take my staff in your hand and go. In case you encounter anyone, you must not greet him; and in case anyone should greet you, you must not answer him. And you must place my staff upon the face of the boy.” 30 At this the mother of the boy said: “As Jehovah is living and as your soul is living, I will not leave you.” Therefore he got up and went with her. 31 And Ge·ha´zi himself passed along before them and then put the staff upon the boy’s face, but there was no voice nor paying of attention. So he went back to meet him and told him, saying: “The boy did not wake up.”

32 At last E·li´sha came into the house, and there the boy was dead, being laid upon his couch. 33 Then he came in and closed the door behind them both and began to pray to Jehovah. 34 Finally he went up and lay down upon the child and put his own mouth upon his mouth and his own eyes upon his eyes and his own palms upon his palms and kept bent over him, and gradually the child’s flesh grew warm. 35 Then he began walking again in the house, once this way and once that way, after which he went up and bent over him. And the boy began to sneeze as many as seven times, after which the boy opened his eyes. 36 He now called Ge·ha´zi and said: “Call this Shu´nam·mite woman.” So he called her and she came in to him. Then he said: “Lift up your son.” 37 And she proceeded to come in and fall at his feet and bow down to him to the earth, after which she lifted up her son and went out.

Heals noxious pottage
2 kings 4: 38-41

38 And E·li´sha himself returned to Gil´gal, and there was famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he in time said to his attendant: “Put the large cooking pot on and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.” 39 Accordingly a certain one went out to the field to pick mallows, and he got to find a wild vine and went picking wild gourds from it, his garment full, and then came and sliced them into the stewpot, for they were not acquainted with them. 40 Later they poured it out for the men to eat. And it came about that, as soon as they ate from the stew, they themselves cried out and began saying: “There is death in the pot, O man of the [true] God.” And they were not able to eat. 41 So he said: “FETCH, then, flour.” After he threw it into the pot, he went on to say: “Pour out for the people that they may eat.” And nothing injurious proved to be in the pot.

Feeds 100 men with 20 loaves of bread
2 kings 4: 42-44

42 And there was a man that came from Ba´al-shal´i·shah, and he came bringing to the man of the [true] God bread of the first ripe fruits, twenty barley loaves, and new grain in his bread bag. Then he said: “Give it to the people that they may eat.” 43 However, his waiter said: “How shall I put this before a hundred men?”

To this he said: “Give it to the people that they may eat, for this is what Jehovah has said, ‘There will be an eating and a having of leftovers.’” 44 At that he put it before them, and they began to eat, and they had leftovers according to the word of Jehovah.

After that E·li´sha died and they buried him. And there were marauding bands of the Mo´ab·ites that regularly came into the land at the coming in of the year. 21 And it came about that as they were burying a man, why, here they saw the marauding band. At once they threw the man into E·li´sha’s burial place and went off. When the man touched the bones of E·li´sha, he immediately came to life and stood upon his feet

Eyes of his servant opened, See mountain full of horses

2 kings 6:15-17
15 When the minister of the man of the [true] God rose early to get up, and went out, why, there a military force was surrounding the city with horses and war chariots. At once his attendant said to him: “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16 But he said: “Do not be afraid, for there are more who are with us than those who are with them.”

17 And E·li´sha began to pray and say: “O Jehovah, open his eyes, please, that he may see.” Immediately Jehovah opened the attendant’s eyes, so that he saw; and, look! the mountainous region was full of horses and war chariots of fire all around E·li´sha.

Famine Ended in One Day.
Doubters can Benefit From Prophesy.

Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it!”

Now the king had put the officer on whose arm he leaned in charge of the gate, and the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died, just as the man of God had foretold when the king came down to his house. It happened as the man of God had said to the king: “About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” The officer had said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” The man of God had replied, “You will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it!” And that is exactly what happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died. (‭2 Kings‬ ‭7‬:‭1-2, 17-20‬ NIV)

FAKE PROPHETS WILL SUFFER.

Act 19: 13; 15-17
Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed.
They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”
One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?”
XxxxThen the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. Xxx
When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor. (Acts 19:13, 15-17 NIV)

Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (Matthew 7:21-23 NIV)

The Deity of Jesus

What is deity?

Deity means Divine character or nature, especially that of the Supreme Being; divinity of Jesus. This means Jesus is God because he has a divine nature and divine character. Jesus is fully the son of man because he was born as man. Again Jesus is fully God because he has divine nature of God.

This book will help us to know how Jesus fulfill the Bible prophesies and to know that any honor, any name of the most High God also apply to Jesus.

Jesus A reflection of God the Father, YHWH or Yahweh, Elohim, Elshada.
For example, there is only one savior which is God. The word God applies equally to Jesus and his Father because both of them is ONE.

“God, who long ago spoke on many occasions and in many ways to our forefathers by means of the prophets, 2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the systems of things.

He is the reflection of [his] glory and the exact representation of his very being, and he sustains all things by the word of his power; and after he had made a purification for our sins he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in lofty places. 4 So he has become better than the angels, to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs”(Hebrew 1:1-4).

Jesus was a shadow or a reflection of God. For example, if God made man in his image, Jesus his own son will be exact replica of his father. Just like a son is a copycat of his and sometime bears the fathers name, so also Jesus carry his father nature or DNA and bears his father’s name.

Jesus and His Father is One God.

“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him. Jesus said to Philip, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. (‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭7, 9-10‬ NKJV)

Philip was one of the followers of Jesus yet he did not understand the divine nature of Jesus. Jesus has to tell him directly that if you have seen me, you have seen my father because my father lives in me and I LIVES IN MY FATHER.

In Genesis 1:1, 26. The Bible said, “In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth”. And in verse 26, God said, LET US make man in our image. Who was God talking to when he said, LET US make man in our image? Certainly God was not talking to himself but to his Son and the Holy Spirit.

Who was God’s Co-Creators in Genesis 1:1,26?

By means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist, 18 and he is the head of the body, the congregation. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that he might become the one who is first in all things. (Colossians 1:15-17)

For example, a good house will have a designer called an architect and a brIcklayer or carpenter both the architect and bricklayer are called “The Builder”. The Architect plan the house and the bricklayer did the actual building. In this illustrations God the father design the man in his image and Jesus carried out the actual creating and giving life to any creatures. Jesus is our direct creator while God the father was the creator like an Architect. That was why Jesus repeatedly said, I am the Life. I will give you everlasting life. I am the life and resurrection. I will resurrect you in the last day. Similarly, Jesus is our direct creator while God the father was the creator like an Architect.

It baffles me that some so called Christians do not honor and worship Jesus as the God the father commanded the believers in Hebrew 1:6,8. One religion organization considered the worship and honor of Jesus as idolatry while elevating their organization to the position of a mediator and the only way to everlasting life.

How do we know that Jesus is our creator?

From what the Bible says, why should believe that Jesus is God?

Jesus said, “in order that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Most truly I say to YOU, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has everlasting life, and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life.(John 5:23-24).

Anyone who fails to honor the son did not honor the father. For example, if anyone or country mistreat or disrespect the Secretary of States of America , that will be considered a disrespect to the President of American. Conversely, the honor granted the Secretary of States is a honor for the President that send him. Similarly, the only way to honor God is to obey his command to honor Jesus, his son. In fact, Jehovah rejoices in heaven when we praise and honor his son.

Jesus re emphasizes the importance of honoring him when he said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.” (‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬ NKJV)

Who created the heavens and Earth, For whom were all things created? Based on Colossians 1:16-17?

What Will Happens to those refused to Honor Jesus?

“Therefore I said to YOU, YOU will die in YOUR sins. For if YOU do not believe that I am [he], YOU will die in YOUR sins.” (John 8:24. And Deuteronomy 32:39)

Who is the I am HE?
Who is the I am HE? In Deuteronomy 32:39

Deuteronomy. 32:39

SEE now that I—I am he
And there are no gods together with me.
I put to death, and I make alive.
I have severely wounded, and I—I will heal,
And there is no one snatching out of my hand.

“I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. (Isaiah 43:11 KJV) and (Luke 2:11). Mark 13:5 So Jesus started to say to them: “Look out that nobody misleads YOU. 6 Many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will mislead many.

The word SAVIOR apply to Jesus in the Book of Isaiah and Luke 2:11. All the prophets in the Bible were prophesying about Jesus birth and his mission to save mankind

When Jesus Open his mouth, Enemies fell Down.

They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: (John 18:5-8 KJV)

One will be wondering why would the army of people with weapons fall down when Jesus open his mouth saying, I am HE. They went backward and fell to the ground.
Why?

The Trier of Jesus

No man or army can arrest Jesus if Jesus open his mouth because Jesus is God. When Jesus closed his mouth, or he remain mute, the enemies were able to arrest him and kill him so that the prophesy might be fulfilled. Ps 38:13-14

But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth. Thus I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth is no response. (‭Psalms‬ ‭38‬:‭13-14‬ NKJV)

Since the scriptures can not be broken and God can not lie, it is necessary for Jesus to remain quiet so that he can fulfill his mission on earth to safe sinners from their sins. If Jesus were to defend himself and call legions of Angels in Heaven to exterminate his false accusers, would not have the grace of everlasting life.

Jesus said to him, “ It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” (‭Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭64‬ NKJV)

Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “ It is as you say.

Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly. (‭Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭11, 13-14‬ NKJV)

Is Jesus as one True God?
Exodus 3:13-15

And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. (Exodus 3:13-15 KJV)

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. (John 8:9, 58 KJV)

Who is the I AM?

What Name did God says will be endure for ever?

Did God call himself Jehovah?

Act 4:12

Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.” Which name is above every other name that people can use to get salvation?

Zaharias 12:10
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. (Zechariah 12:10 KJV)

Jesus is Life and the Resurrection

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. (‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭44‬ NKJV)
He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. (‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭25-26, 32, 44-45, 47‬ NKJV
John 19:37
And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. (John 19:37 KJV)
Revelation 1:7
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:7, 8 KJV)

Newspaper Article
“…Jesus’ friends and enemies were staggered again and again by what he said and did. He would be walking down the road, seemingly like any other man, then turn and say something like, ‘Before Abraham was, I am.’ Or, ‘If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.’ Or, very calmly, after being accused of blasphemy, he would say, ‘The Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.’ To the dead he might simply say, ‘Come forth,’ or, ‘Rise up.’ And they would obey. To the storms on the sea he would say, ‘Be still.’ And to a loaf of bread he would say, ‘Become a thousand meals.’ And it was done immediately.”
“We saw it with our own eyes: Jesus resplendent with light from God the Father….We couldn’t be more sure of what we saw and heard—God’s glory, God’s voice.” (2 Peter 1: 16, 17 The Message )
John 5:23-24
23 in order that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Most truly I say to YOU, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has everlasting life, and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life.
“I am the resurrection and the life”.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (‭John‬ ‭11‬:‭25-26‬ NKJV)
The fact is, Jesus carries divine nature of God. Is like identical twins. It is difficult to know the difference between God And Jesus. He bears the qualities and the name of God. The Bible call him God and his disciples recognize him as God. He himself said, if you see me, you have seen my father. Me and my father are one.
For example, if our creator is Jesus and everything in Heaven and on earth is created by him and for Him. If He will gives us everlasting life and His father commands us to worship him, who is me and you, not worship and honour him?
No wonder some people think that Jesus in the almighty God.

Freedom from Fear.

What is fear?

Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, whether the threat is real or imagined. Some psychologist described fear as a false expectation appearing real.

Fear is the conduit by which Demons power flow through, whereas Faith is the conduit by which God’s power flow through, by Jentezen Franklin. He narrated his experience while traveling on the airplane. He said, immediately after serving lunch, the pilot announced that they are entering a stormy dangerous weather. As the plane descending and ascending, he was busy eating his launch, while other passengers are crying and shouting. He said, even if that will be the end of his physical life, he will not go to God with empty stomach. He was not afraid of death. Thank God the plane landed safely.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (‭II Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ NKJV)‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

This means if the spirit of fear did not emanate from God, it then implies that fear is a spirit that come from Satan. Pastor Elero described fear as a spirit of insanity.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” (‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭14-15‬ NKJV)‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

The spirit of God lead God’s children to freedom but the spirit of fear leads Satan children to bondage. You have an option to either choose the spirit of Fear that leads to bondage or God’s spirit which leads to freedom.

Joshua told the Israelites, “Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and be of good courage, for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight.” (‭Joshua‬ ‭10‬:‭25‬ NKJV). ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

No coward can please God. In fact faint-heartedness is a sin to God. That is why God listed coward person among the sexually immoral persons and liars. These sins carried capital punishment of everlasting death. God revealed this to Apostles John in the book of revelations those who shall be totally cut-off, when he said, “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭8‬ NKJV)‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from me,” Says the LORD. (‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭17‬ NKJV)‬‬‬

Types Of Fear‬‬‬‬‬‬

Fear of unknown.

This is very common fear that employee usually have when there is a propose changes in the organizational structure. Fear of moving to another country or fear of quitting one’s secular job for the Kingdom Ministry.

In 2014 The New Jersey State Government decided to close many state facilities which will result in massive bumping, demotion, transfer and layoff. One of my co-workers was so fearful of this bad news and he talked about it everyday and he started looking for another job. I told him to be careful for nothing as a believer but he was worried. Unfortunately, he was among the first to be laid off.

Fear is like bait or demonic messengers that Satan uses to catch the faithless individuals before it afflicts them with sorrows.

My God told me to proceed on vacation because I will not be affected by the layoff. This is against all human reasons and persuasions. I complied. I went on vacation and came back two months later. Alas, many of my co-workers were gone. The point is fear is a demonic spirit that can keep one in bondage.

Other types of fear were described as phobia.
A specific phobia is any kind of anxiety disorder that amounts to an unreasonable or irrational fear related to exposure to specific objects or situations, such as, claustrophobia which is the fear of having no escape and being in closed or small spaces or rooms, just to mention but few.

Fear of men

The most damaging fear is the fear of men. What would my friends says and what would people think? The fact is what God think about you is what matter most.

Fear of the Human Organization

Some people know the truth that they are being manipulated and being exploited but can’t leave this cult religion because of paralyzing fear.
Some of these religions operate like secret cults and they will do every evil thing to their former members who left them. This includes the fear of excommunication and shunning and the fear of losing friends and families. These fear kept many people in false religion.

The tormenting power of fear.

Fear torment the life’s of those who kept it. They have no peace and joy but pain and sorrow. Jesus said, “People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken”. (Luke 21:26 NIV)

Job acknowledged the negative power of fear when he said, “What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me. I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.” (Job 3:25, 26 NIV) Job lost ten children in a matter of one week because he was afraid of something may happen to his children.

Any fear that is holding you hostage and prevent you from realizing your God’s given potentials be cast out in the Mighty Name of JESUS.

Jesus sent out invitation to freedom

That was why Jesus sent out an invitation to all sincere truth seekers, when he said, “Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU. Take my yoke upon YOU and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and YOU will find refreshment for YOUR souls. For my yoke is kindly and my load is light.”(Matthew 11:28-29)

Jesus further said, “YOU will know the truth, and the truth will set YOU free.”(John 8:32) It is knowledge of God and your position in God’s arrangement that will give you the power to be free from demonic bondage of fear.

Apostle Paul said, “Now Jehovah is the Spirit; and where the spirit of Jehovah is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthian 3:17). He further said, “For such freedom Christ set us free. Therefore stand fast, and do not let yourselves be confined again in a yoke of slavery”.(Galatia 5:1)

Apostle John describe fear as the opposite of love when he said, “This is how love has been made perfect with us, that we may have freeness of speech in the day of judgment, because, just as that one is, so are we ourselves in this world.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love throws fear outside, because fear exercises a restraint. Indeed, he that is under fear has not been made perfect in love. As for us, we love, because he first loved us”(1 John 4:17-19). Note that LOVE is the opposite of FEAR not courage. If you have a perfect LOVE for God, fear will be out of your life. You will not be afraid of men, demons and even death.

Humans are created to worship their creator and higher power and God. And God commanded us to congregate with other fellow believers to praise and worship him. How can we fulfill this sacred obligation without been misled?

Jesus answered this question in Matthew 18:18-20.
He said, “Truly I say to YOU men, whatever things YOU may bind on earth will be things bound in heaven, and whatever things YOU may loose on earth will be things loosed in heaven. Again I truly say to YOU, If two of YOU on earth agree concerning anything of importance that they should request, it will take place for them due to my Father in heaven. “For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”(Matthew 18:18-20)

During Jesus earthly ministry he attended Jewish Temples and Synagogues, he found that the religion leaders are hypocrite just like religious leaders of today. He then formed a small group of 12 disciples and gave them power to preach about God’s Kingdom in all part of the world.(Matthew 28:19-20) This is where Bible Fellowship was recommended by our Lord and Savior. “For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”(Mathew 18:20)

Prayer for freedom from fear

I pray that Jesus set you free from bondage of fear of intimidation, fear of excommunication and shunning. I pray that Jesus destroy all forms of oppression, suppression and coercion in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Pray for perfect LOVE of God that throw fear away. The Fear of men, fear of human organization and death is now cast out in the Mighty Name of Jesus. May God free you from all bondage and fear that is tormenting your life, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Godly Fear bring Blessing
Fear of God is the idea of living in respect, awe, and submission to a deity. The first mention of the fear of God
Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. King Solomon said in Proverb 22:4 that humility and the fear of true God lead to riches, honor and life. That means the only acceptable and profitable fear is the fear of the true God.

The fear of men leads to a snare. The fear demons lead to bondage. Fear is a demonic messenger. Fear is a sin because it lacks faith. Therefore be courageous and faithful to the end. God shall reward you abundantly.
