A Promise—”I will ___________________!”
Do you ever get afraid?
Truly, do each one of us ever get afraid?
- Do you ever fear what’s coming in this day?
- Do you ever fear what’s coming tomorrow?
- Do you ever become totally fearful of life-situations, totally afraid that everything you know is beyond your control?
Well, here’s the amazing truth—
EL SHADDAI—We can NEVER be afraid !
FATHER GOD—Within His presence, we shall NEVER fear! &
GOD ALMIGHTY—We will NEVER face anything out of His control !
Thus, magnificently,
God promises us His strength, His help, His protection, His guidance & His presence!
But Yet, this promise of God—
Is only offered to those who willingly accept His Son Jesus & to those who faithfully proclaim Him Lord, as they walk each day in obedience to Father God.
El Shaddai, our Provider, led His prophet Isaiah to write these words, recorded to strengthen us—
“Do not fear, for I am with you;
(The Book of Isaiah 41: 10 NASB)
Do not anxiously look about you,
for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
“I will strengthen you, . . . “

“I will help you, . . . ”
A Promise from the Father—“I will ___________________!”
“I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
A Promise from El Shaddai—“I will ___________________!”
- Israel (formerly called Jacob)—
- Israel (the son of Isaac)—
- Israel (the one who once lived to deceive & steal from others)—
- Israel (the one who encountered God Himself at Bethel, the house of God)—
To Israel, the LORD said—
“For I am the LORD your God,
(The Book of Isaiah 41: 13-14 NASB)
who upholds your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’
Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel;
I will help you,” declares the LORD,
“and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.”
“For I am the LORD your God,
who upholds your right hand, . . .”
A Promise from God—“I will ___________________!”
Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’
Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel;
A Promise from the Father—“I will ___________________!”
I will help you,” declares the LORD,
“and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.”
A Promise from El Shaddai—“I will ___________________!”
God promises us, His children—
His strength,
His help,
His protection,
His guidance &
His presence!
EL SHADDAI is NEVER afraid & NEVER fears & NEVER faces anything out of His control !
The amazing truth—
Communication with the Father is the incredible gift! We who believe in Jesus and have received Him as our Lord:
- Must leave space each day for the LORD, space to listen, space to connect.
- Must remember, time with God does not occur by accident or by coincidence.
- Must always know how with the child of God, there is no such thing as coincidence, only providence, only God firmly in control. & finally, we also
- Must set aside time in our daily schedules, time to enter our prayer closet to BE WITH THE LORD.
In doing so, the Father will faithfully do as He has Promised—“I will ___________________!”
“Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
(The Book of Isaiah 44: 6-8 NASB)
“I am the first and I am the last,
And there is no God besides Me.
‘Who is like Me?
Let him proclaim and declare it;
Yes, let him recount it to Me in order,
From the time that I established the ancient nation,
And let them declare to them the things that are coming
And the events that are going to take place.
‘Do not tremble and do not be afraid;
Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it?
And you are My witnesses.
Is there any God besides Me,
Or is there any other Rock?
I know none.’ “
[ Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts! ]
