FEAR - Face Everything and Rise Up against False Evidence Appearing Real

via TJC

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”

‭‭John‬ ‭19‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Has your boss ever called, or texted you over the weekend and said we need to talk first thing Monday? Nurse called and said got your lab test, and Doctor would like you to come into go over them. Or how about that dark secret, you pray never gets disclosed? Fear and shame can take over our minds in a heartbeat, and Satan the master of lies and deception is always seeking to manipulate us. 

So many elements of our culture focus on manipulating us to buy a product, eat certain foods, dress a certain way - compare ourselves to others - don’t think so? Ask your kids if they feel

pressure to be, act and dress a certain way.

Christian’s are the target for Satan and he will use anything to derail our walk, our influence, our testimony, derail those you love especially your children.  But we know that and having confessed our wrong doings, we operate in truth and freedom. We do not fall into the enemies' attempts to change our perceptions of truth. 

Jesus himself was brought up on false charges and Pilate could find nothing to uphold the charges. Jesus was the model of being strong and courageous - He knew His Father was with Him. Regardless of the outcome, He knew who was in control. 

We know who is in control over everything. 

Our lab tests, bosses meeting, darkest secrets should all be covered in prayer and turned over to God. We do not operate in the world's form of fear, we “Face Everything And Rise” up as sons and daughters of the King. 

We spent the  last two months of 2025 addressing the Kingdom Man prayer; pressing into our values and actions -  those produce blessings and protection for our families. We operate with supernatural strength, courage and grit because God is with us!  

Daily Battle Order - Don’t you want to live your life with a supernatural backbone, seeing through the manipulation, and acting with strength and courage always?  

Today write down your deepest and maybe even a trivial fear and then write over it the name of Jesus. Choose which one you claim, the hidden secret or Jesus? 

Oh - God already know that secret.  If you haven’t get with a brother and confessed it, it’s time to enter into forgiveness and mercy. 

Drop those chains, celebrate freedom

and truth. Rise Up!
