THIS WILL KILL YOUR FEAR

by | Dec 17, 2019 | Christianity Today | 12 comments

Today you find yourself facing threats that were unimaginable just 10 years ago.  Changes are dizzying. Political and moral evil is on the march. The child of God navigates a world that is explosive.

Do you have children and grandchildren who depend on you?  That makes it all the more difficult. You wonder what will happen to them.  You pray, “Lord, how can I protect them in such a violent time?”

Our souls are vexed by the parading of evil, perversion, and bloodshed. What was once in the back alleys is now front and center for all to see.

For this and many other reasons, we need something fresh and unshakable.  We need whatever it was Daniel had in the lion’s den.  We need authority to open prison doors.  We need courage that conquers the future even before we get there.  We must walk a walk that conquers sickness, dwindling resources, and any sudden attack on our soul.

We also need to see the tactics of Satan. He knows his time is short, he is racing to take as many down with him as he can.

Powerful preaching will only take us so far.  Worship music may quell dismaying emotions temporarily, but we need something more—something unshakable in the core of our being.  We need an anchor that holds us, no matter what.

What do we need? What fear-killing insight should burn in our soul?

It’s this: Imagine if you could hear Jesus praying for you. Imagine what that would mean to you. Imagine how that can kill your fear of any shocking attacks that come?  Imagine being transported in a vision, and beholding Jesus mentioning your name. Imagine hearing Him taking your needs, your burdens, and your cares directly to the Father.

Stop right now.  Open your heart wide. Let me give you the fear-killing facts about  Jesus praying for you:

Jesus started praying for you the instant you got saved.  The world can’t enjoy the benefit of His prayers, but we as believers can.  John17:9, “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.”

Jesus will never stop praying for you. Hebrews 7:25, “Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

Can you see Him? Right now He is lifting your situation before the Father in unending prayer.

Jesus is asking the Father to protect you from Satan.  John 17:15, “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.”

Jesus has prayed in advance of your greatest hour of testing, just as He did for Peter.  Luke 22:32, “But I have prayed for you (Peter), that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”

Here is the most important fact about Jesus’ praying for you: He says you are His child.  Let’s take a closer look at what that means.

His love for you is not just tender—it’s fierce.

Consider the momma grizzly as she snuggles her cub.  She is the essence of tender love.  Now, try to come between her and her cub. The loving mom instantly becomes the most terrifying creature on earth.  She will stop at nothing to protect her cub. Both are expressions of the same love…a love God but in her.

The same Jesus who comforts you with unmatched tenderness turns His wrath on the evil one when you are threatened.  It would be breathtaking to see the contrast in His intercession before the Father when you need comfort, and when you need to be rescued from the attack of the evil one.

Jesus will not let anything come between you and Him.  Paul said it this way: Romans 8:38, “For I am fully convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor demons, nor the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

If you could hear how Jesus is praying for you right now, you would not fear a million enemies.

    Learning to lean into the perfect intercession of our perfect High Priest with a perfect love for His Bride does indeed cast out all our fears, and leaves us with a heart of good cheer, in a safe place abiding under the shadow of the Almighty. It just doesn’t get any better than this. We are truly on the winning side forever.

    Mario what an encouraging word & reminder you’ve given Us today!?

    Your words reminded me of what filled my heart with life & peace many years ago. It was when I finally realized how much, how deeply, Christ The King of the Jews loves the great vast Gentile multitudes.
    I read this particular passage (*20) of His incredible prayer and recognized the reason of the Hebrew Apostolic mandate – that it’s purpose was in order to spread Christ’s LOVE, Perfect Peace and HIS Own glory within each & every believing heart, no matter what race, nation, or background any person came from.

    (From John 17:*20*-23, HCSB)

    ** I pray not only for these disciples, but also for all those who believe in Me through their message.**
    May they all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I am in You. May they also be one in Us, so the world may believe You sent Me.

    **I have given them the glory You have given Me.**
    May they be one as We are one. I am in them and You are in Me.

    May they be made completely one, so the world may know You have sent Me and
    **that You have loved them as You have loved Me.**
    As megagenious said…It just doesn’t get any better than this.?

    Precious souls. The answer is so simple before us. Daniel 9 is a prayer of greatness interceding for his nation. Our model prayer of our Great High Priest interceding for us NOW, is His model prayer John 17, especially verse 9 which instructs us “I pray for them (the called-out ones): I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given Me; for they are thine. We read John 17 and pray daily these words. Balance results in those 26 verses. Believers must read daily the Words of Life. How many read daily?

    It is important to tell this to our grandchildren.

    Thank you for this word. It is very timely for me. I had just read through the letter that President Trump sent to Nancy Pelosi about her unconscionable impeachment vendetta. I was feeling sick at heart about it all. When I read this, it brought tears and a great settling in my soul. Jesus is interceding for me, and He is interceding for America. He is never wrong, and He is never late. We can all rest in His power and His goodness. (Psalm 107:21-22)

    Thank you for this fatherly word, I needed this!

    This is comforting, but I am tormented thinking about babies being sexually abused and children sacrificed. How do I reconcile it all?
