Notes
Psalm 20:7 NIV
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
1. I WILL NOT FEAR
Joshua 14:6-8
Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know the word which the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the Lord my God.
Instructions for going to war.
Deuteronomy 20:8
“The officers shall speak further to the people, and say, ‘What man is there who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest the heart of his brethren faint like his heart.’
Fear opens the door to the enemy.
Job 3:25-26
For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me,And what I dreaded has happened to me. 26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;I have no rest, for trouble comes.”
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Psalm 23:1–6 NKJV
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I
will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
I would highly recommend meditating upon these scriptures…

who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
2. TUG OR WAR?
Romans 8:14–16 NKJV
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 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.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you,
