Don’t Be Afraid! God Will Work It Out
Beloved Presence-seekers,
I feel like someone today has been battling fear. You’ve had things come against you this year that have been horrible, and you’ve struggled to hang on.
Recently, you’ve been feeling like things might be getting better. You’ve been looking up and seeing, in the sky, way up there, glimmers of hope.
But then the enemy has come in again and is trying to make you afraid. Something has happened again that made you wonder, “Is this going to happen again?”
Beloved, if that’s you, I felt like the Lord wanted me to tell you today:
“Don’t be afraid. I’ve got your back on this.”
The enemy is trying to fake you out. Be wise to his schemes, and don’t allow him any foothold.
I feel like someone needed to hear this verse today:
Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught” (Proverbs 3:24-25 ESV).
Beloved, I can’t tell you what kinds of events you will face in your life, but I can tell you this:
God is faithful. And He loves you with a good, abounding, perfect love.
And the ruin is not for you; it’s for the wicked. YOU are hidden under the shadow of God’s wings if you dwell in the secret place. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn in Jesus’ name (Isaiah 54).
Beloved, Papa God has brought you this far. He hasn’t left you, and He’s going to see you through until the end.
Listen to this song and receive comfort from the Lord:
Precious son, precious daughter of God: Father says that He loves you, and you’re going to be okay.
He’s going to work it out.
Is this word for you today? If so, please leave a comment below. I’d love to hear from you!
Hi woman of God. God spoke to me through you. Sometimes I feel like I would not make it, and sometime I become so strong towards my situation. May God Amghty increase the gift of discernment more and more.
Ah yes! Singing…God will do what He said He would do, He will stand by His Word. He will come through!
“The Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. She became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. This happened at just the time God had said it would.”
Genesis 21:1-2 NLT
Glory! What blessed assurance! Amen!
Thanks, Jamie. That is definitely a ‘word in season’ for me…an old problem has reared it’s ugly head again but you’re so right; ‘No weapon formed against us shall prosper! ‘ Amen xxx
Oh Jamie, I am in that situation now. Although I see glimmers of hope, there more darkness than light. Still I cling to the Lord in prayers and I trust that it will be bright soon enough but… it is so so hard.
Thank you – my heart is broken today and I am consumed with the fear of what may happen.
So for me right now. My hope and faith have been growing more than they have in so long, but these past 2 weeks I feel suddenly discouraged, fearful and hopeless again. Needed to hear this as I am learning to lean less and less on my feelings as basis for faith. Thank you!
No weapon! But don’t forget to confess that you’re the righteousness of God. That changes the fear dynamic.
I needed this today! I have been battling this for a couple of weeks. I have been exposed to many fearful situations in my family that it has seemed to paralyze me, and all of these situations have come at me at once. I’m trying just to stay above the waters with having a prodigal child who is addicted and it’s Christmas! I have not felt like it’s been, “the most wonderful time of the year.” I do not come from a family of believers and it seems they are all under some sort of attack right now, however it seems to be coming at me as well by using the card,” it’s your family, you should be…” Please pray that I will overcome this spirit of death and fear. Thank you and God bless you! Finding your site has been a God-send!
Thank you for the word,I needed this
Thank you for this. Perfect timing. I’m currently in a situation where I’m afraid of the outcome and for my future. I just need to surrender to God knowing He has my back and is going to work it out.
Todays word and yesterdays word about not being able to pray have really spoken to me. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you Jamie for sharing. Yes, the enemy tries to destroy. My trust is in the Lord. I am a child of the Most High. God is my strength. He has taken me this far and will not abandon me. Trusting God and His perfect timing. Claiming verses Eph 3;20 and Psalm 91:14&15
Thank God for this message! I have been through unbelievable trials and hardship this year. Fear has been creeping in again and lately everywhere I look I see the word HOPE. Whether it be Christmas decorations spelling out the word amongst other thing. God keeps showing me the word HOPE everywhere I turn. I really need a miracle coming up in January in the court system with my children and believing that God will turn my situation around and that all the lies of the enemy will be shut down and I will be vindicated by God better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much for this word!!! Please pray for me, my name Courtney!
Good morning Sister Jamie, I just want to say Glory to God and thank you once again Sister Jamie for this wonderful word that was for me. I am sure this message touched many. I am seeing more and more that Jesus loves me so much with out a shadow of a doubt. I once upon a time didn’t know how to believe in God or how to trust in God or how to pray to God or how to have faith. I now know that there is a God and he loves me, he loves us all. Thank you so much once again Sister Jamie, the enemie sure has been trying to attack my happiness and then hit me with another blow of something else bad which brings in fear and frustration. I am learning to rebuke the enemie by saying, “In the name of Jesus, “I rebuke you Satan in Jesus name. May God continue to bless you and your ministry. It is a true blessing to me and others.
Once again you are the Holy Spirit’s mouthpiece! I needed this Word today. I was up until 5:30 this morning crying. I didn’t think I had any tears left. I let my flesh get in the way & sent a sarcastic text to someone around 3 am. I wish I could just be still! So, here I go around this mountain again. I’m being attacked by the enemy through my job. I gave my notice 2 wks ago & they are being so hateful. I’m being attacked through my relationship with my ex fiance. We have been spending time together & things have been going great until I let fear get in & the enemy distorted my view of situation, hence the sarcastic text. You had a teaching on sleep the other day. I haven’t had a chance to read it, but I really need some sleep. I’ve been staying with friends for 6 months & they stay up all night watching tv. The sounds & lights keep me awake & I’m exhausted & so very emotional. I want to go home & the enemy knows this.
I read the Word every day & listen to teachings, but I can’t get any prayers out.
Thank you for this teaching today. I’m going to stand again.
I loved the song. Father is so precious. Thank you for allowing Him to flow through you here. What you wrote exactly has been my situation the last month and year. I’m coming on the hardest 7 years I’ve ever experienced, but in them I have also learned the most beautiful lessons by Him, seen pure miracles, and my biggest was being blessed with a baby at 44 years old! I am now 49 with a child filled with a great sense of humor and joy. My seven years of extreme heartache mixed with miracles comes January. I needed your word. Thank you so so much Jamie. May God continue to bless you, your family, and your blog! Thank you for all His work you are doing in love!
Jamie we thank God for you, may the Holy Spirit of peace fill our hearts and may we hold on to God’s promises He’s faithful. May God’s perfect love over flow in our hearts so that fear wont have room to exist.
I just woke up now and I felt I needed some encouragement went to my fb page and I read your post. Just before that, I got troubled by the fact that am adding weight and thought it’s the fibroids though the Lord said He has healed me. Then I went back to 2014 when fibroids were surgically removed from me and I thought am over that problem forever. Come 2016 and the doc said they are growing back. I felt defeated once more , like how can I get pregnant now, how can I fight this battle? Then I saw your post and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I was reading so fast being so excited as I knew God was speaking to me right now. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I got to the song. The other day the Lord lead me to that same old song . I searched for the lyrics and listened and was really blessed.
Thank you Jesus, I know you are fighting this battle for me.
Thanks for posting, blessings .

Oh how I thank God for you Jamie!!! I thank God for setting you in place to speak specifically, tailor- made, to my situation. Every Word you spoke was EVERYTHING I’m currently feeling and going through. I thank God for your obedience, your perseverance, your willingness to be committed to hearing straight from the Poppa God, straight from the Master, straight from the only wise and Omnipotent God!!!! Rhema is so powerful!!! It shows me that God hears me , sees me and loves me even when I don’t feel like praying or feel as if I don’t have the strength to pray! I recently shared with you what I was going through, working on my doctoral dissertation, remodeling the exterior of my house, in the midst of recovering from fibroid tumor surgery (still have the stitches), and feeling overwhelmed! Just verbatim as you stated, I began to get some hope as an Administrator began to help me with my dissertation. Then recently she asked for a revision , after she praised me a week before for being 50% done, even though I knew I had some more work to do with the dissertation, her request to dig deeper plus the thought of the 8 classes left that will start in January just shut me down. I wouldn’t look at any of my school work. I just laid in the bed, or listened to sermons on YouTube, or watched TV, but I was too overwhelmed to look at it. My mom even said she would read through some of it to help me, but I just didn’t have the energy to even speak with my mom. I usually read your blogs early in the morning, but somehow I missed this until I laid down to rest. When I read it, years fell down my face and chills went through my body because it was Exactly how I was feeling. I know God is able and willing and I know that He has not forgotten me, but sometimes, when we get closer to a blessing, the enemy tries his best to mess with us. So, in the midst of everything that is going on, I was distracted. This is why it is imperative to fellowship with Holy Spirit -filled believers, because , they can hear from God on my behalf and send a Rhema Word to get me back on the path God has for me!!! Thank you Jamie for being a servant got the Lord , because your servant hood, has catapulted you as a Holy Spirit-led leader as well!!!
I pray that the Lord blessed you 100 fold!!
Sincerely,
Kahn Johnson
Jamie,
Thanks for the encouraging words and the connection to Fred Hammond’s song No Weapon. I have been singing the song since and receiving comfort and strength each time. Thank you for your obedience to GOD!
Jamie,
I believe you are angel sent from heaven to encourage all God’s people. This word was for me today. I thank God for finding your site. May you and your family have a bless and safe holiday with a lot of love and peace.
I thank you again be bless Millie
Thanks Jamie, for this prophetic word.
Interesting that this would be your post this week. I was laid off work on 12/15 and as I departed that employer God’s peace settled over me. It was like HE was saying, “Don’t fear. I’ve got this!” I’ve had an amazing sense of peace. Sure it was challenging to have to sign up for unemployment and for health care but its ok. I know my Father GOD will provide for me. I haven’t begun even to look for a new position. I took the week before Christmas off as holiday, and just started catching up on emails and I just read this. It’s another confirmation to me. I’ve had several over the past few days. I don’t know where GOD will lead me but I know that those who wait on His leading are blessed and provided for. He does not ever fail!

Hi Cynthia! I stand in agreement with you for abundant provision. Our Father is so faithful! He’s got you covered and no evil will befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling (Psalm 91).
Big hugs to you today! Thank you for reading my blog!
Amen in Jesus Name. Am trusting in God to reverse unjust situation. I believe it’s well. All glory and honor to God for I know and expecting victory.
Thank you Jamie.
I needed to hear God’s promise to me again and be fully present in His promise. Amen.
