taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"
Be not faint of heart. Fear will rob you of your possession as quickly as any other sin; for truly fear is a sin, and it opens the door for many other sins to follow.
Guard your heart from doubt and every negative attitude. You cannot afford to take the risk of entertaining any such thoughts at so critical a time. Only the strong in faith shall prevail. Only those with a "Caleb" spirit shall take the walled cities and crush out the enemies.
If you make the Most High your dwelling ... then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. (Psalm 91:9-10)
If we fear persecution and its consequences, it simply means that we do not believe He is strong enough to see us through our times of trial.
This marvelous psalm could have been written especially for me. "Surely, he will save me from the deadly pestilence" (v.3).
"You will not fear the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day" (v.5).
"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge" (v.4).
We never need to fear, whatever the circumstances - for He is with us. The Psalmist speaks from experience - so do I - and so may you.
