Everywhere you turn these days, there is fear in the world. The Bible tells us that men’s hearts will fall them for fear of what’s coming on the earth—it seems we’re right in the middle of those times.

But as a believer, you don’t have to live in fear. You have the power over it through your heavenly Father. When you know and believe in your heart that God loves you—you won’t be afraid of anything.

As 1 John 4:18 tells us, “There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror!” (The Amplified Bible).

Develop faith in God’s love for you and develop a fear-free life!

Revelation 21:4
KJV—And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away.

Amp—God will wipe away every tear from
their eyes, and death shall be no more,
neither shall there be anguish—sorrow and
mourning—nor grief nor pain any more; for
the old conditions and the former order of
things have passed way.

Moffatt—He shall wipe every tear from
their eyes, and death shall be no more—no
more wailing, no more crying, no more pain,
for the former things have passed away.

NEB—He will wipe every tear from their
eyes; there shall be an end to death, and to
mourning and crying and pain; for the old
order has passed away!

Deuteronomy 28:15,
22, 27-28, 35, 58-61
KJV—But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt
not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy
God, to observe to do all his commandments
and his statutes which I command
thee this day; that all these curses shall
come upon thee, and overtake thee.

The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption,
and with a fever, and with an
inflammation, and with an extreme burning,
and with the sword, and with blasting, and
with mildew; and they shall pursue thee
until thou perish.

The Lord will smite thee with the botch
of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with
the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou
canst not be healed. The Lord shall smite
thee with madness, and blindness, and
astonishment of heart.

The Lord shall smite thee in the knees,
and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot
be healed, from the sole of thy foot
unto the top of thy head.

If thou wilt not observe to do all the
words of this law that are written in this
book, that thou mayest fear this glorious
and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful,
and the plagues of thy seed, even
great plagues, and of long continuance,
and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
Moreover he will bring upon thee
all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast
afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
Also every sickness, and every plague,
which is not written in the book of this law,
them will the Lord bring upon thee, until
thou be destroyed.

Amp—But if you will not obey the voice
of the Lord your God, being watchful to
do all His commandments and His statutes
which I command you this day, then
all these curses shall come upon you and
overtake you.

The Lord will smite you with consumption,
with fever, and inflammation,
fiery heat, sword and drought, blasting,
and mildew; they shall pursue you until
you perish.

The Lord will smite you with the boils
of Egypt and the tumors, the scurvy and
the itch, of which you cannot be healed.
The Lord will smite you with madness and
blindness and dismay of [mind and] heart.

The Lord will smite you on the knees and
on the legs with a sore boil that cannot be
healed, from the sole of your foot to the
top of your head.

If you will not be watchful to do all the
words of this law that are written in this
book, that you may (reverently) fear this
glorious and fearful name [and presence],
THE LORD YOUR GOD; Then the Lord
will bring upon you and your descendants
extraordinary strokes and blows, great
plagues of long continuance, and grievous
sicknesses of long duration. Moreover
He will bring upon you all the diseases of
Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they
shall cling to you. Also every sickness and
every affliction which is not written in the
book of this law, the Lord will bring upon
you, until you are destroyed.

Isaiah 40:28-31
KJV—Hast thou not known? hast thou not
heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord,
the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth
not, neither is weary? there is no searching
of his understanding. He giveth power to
the faint; and to them that have no might
he increaseth strength. Even the youths
shall faint and be weary, and the young men
shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the
Lord shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; and they shall walk,
and not faint.

Amp—Have you not known? Have you not
heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the
Creator of the ends of the earth, does not
faint or grow weary; there is no searching
of His understanding. He gives power to the
faint and weary, and to him who has no might
He increases strength—causing it to multiply
and making it abound. Even youths shall faint
and be weary, and the selected young men
shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;
But those who wait for the Lord—who expect,
look for and hope in Him—shall change and
renew their strength and power; they shall lift
their wings and mount up [close to God] as
eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run
and not be weary; they shall walk and not
faint or become tired.

NEB—Do you not know, have you not
heard? The Lord, the everlasting God,
creator of the wide world, grows neither
weary nor faint; no man can fathom his
understanding. He gives vigour to the weary,
new strength to the exhausted. Young men
may grow weary and faint, even in their
prime they may stumble and fall; but those
who look to the Lord will win new strength,
they will grow wings like eagles; they will
run and not be weary, they will march on
and never grow faint.

Isaiah 41:10
KJV—Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will
strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea,
I will uphold thee with the right hand of
my righteousness.

Amp—Fear not; [there is nothing to fear] for
I am with you; do not look around you in
terror and be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen and harden you [to difficulties];
yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you
up and retain you with My victorious right
hand of rightness and justice.

Moffatt—Fear not, for I am with you, I
am your God, be not dismayed; I will
strengthen, I will support you, I will uphold
you with my trusty hand.

NEB—Fear nothing, for I am with you; be
not afraid, for I am your God. I strengthen
you, I help you, I support you with my
victorious right hand.

Jeremiah 1:12
KJV—Then said the Lord unto me, Thou
hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to
perform it.

Amp—Then said the Lord to me, You have
seen well, for I am alert and active, watching
over My word to perform it.

Moffatt—The Eternal said to me, You have
seen right; for I am wakeful over my word,
to carry it out.

NEB—You are right, said the Lord to me,
for I am early on the watch to carry out
my purpose.

Jeremiah 30:17
KJV—For I will restore health unto thee,
and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith
the Lord; because they called thee an
Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man
seeketh after.

Amp—For I will restore health to you, and
I will heal your wounds, says the Lord;
because they have called you an outcast,
saying, This is Zion, whom no one seeks
after and for whom no one cares!

Moffatt—For I will give you health again,
and heal your wounds, the Eternal promises—
you whom the hunters called an outcast,
Our quarry! No one cares for her!

NEB—I will cause the new skin to grow and
heal your wounds, says the Lord, although
men call you the Outcast, Zion, nobody’s
friend.

Nahum 1:9
KJV—What do ye imagine against the
Lord? He will make an utter end: affliction
shall not rise up the second time.

Amp—What do you devise and [how mad
is your attempt to] plot against the Lord?
He will make a full end of Nineveh; affliction
[which My people shall suffer from Assyria]
shall not rise up the second time.

Moffatt—He has not to take vengeance
twice upon his foes, he makes an end of
them. Why plot against the Eternal?

NEB—No adversaries dare oppose him
twice; all are burnt up like tangled briars.
Why do you make plots against the Lord?
