"Fear"
Reference: Proverbs Chapter 28
I had a friend in medical residency who used to confide in me. He was always afraid, but he was the chief resident. If you will see him speak, and how he carried himself in public. He looked strong and powerful, eloquent, smart, very nice to talk to, but when he comes to talk to me in secret, he's always in fear. I will ask him, "What are you afraid of?" and he will tell me, "I am afraid that something bad will happen. I always feel like something bad will happen to me." He will say.
When the first Adam was in the garden with the heavenly Father in a blood covenant with the heavenly Father, there was love, peace, and there was no fear. Immediately after he broke that covenant, he was in fear. He went hiding from God. God came in the cool of the day, looking for him, and asked, "Adam, where are you?" God's blood response was, "I was afraid."
Fear is a symptom of the fallen Adamic nature. Today in our world, we call them phobias. There are:
- animal phobias
- natural environment phobia
- blood injection injury phobia
- situational phobia
and over 500 named phobias with the potential for an infinite number .
The answer for fear is to exit the blood of the first Adam by turning on the light of faith and entering the blood of God, the blood of the last Adam.
In the blood of the last Adam is love and boldness. It's love presented in boldness.
The writer of the Proverbs says, "The righteous is as bold as a lion." The righteous is the man or woman who has been redeemed out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the last Adam.
Let's read:
Proverbs 28:1 "The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion."
The wicked is the man or woman who remains in the blood of the first Adam through unbelief. Just as fallen Adam, constant fear is a result.
We continue our reading:
Proverbs 28:2-5 "For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. [3] A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. [4] They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. [5] Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things."
Understanding all things is a work of the Holy Spirit in a man or woman. The Holy Spirit is accessible to the man or woman who has been redeemed out of the blood of fallen Adam into the blood of the last Adam, the blood of God. Until this redemption has taken place, the man or woman has no understanding.
We continue our reading:
Proverbs 28:6-13 "Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. [7] Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. [8] He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. [9] He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. [10] Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession. [11] The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. [12] When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. [13] He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."
Before there was any sin in the world, there was no fear. The first Adam was in perfect communion with His Father. The result of unconfessed sin is fear. If we confess our sins, the Heavenly Father is faithful and merciful to forgive us from all our sins. The blood of the Last Adam cleanses us from all sin and all fear.
We continue our reading:
Proverbs 28:14-17 "Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. [15] As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. [16] The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. [17] A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him."
Blood (Dam) is physical and spiritual. Blood violence or the shedding of blood strikes God. When Cain killed his brother Abel, the blood of Abel cried out to God.
When the Children of Israel were leaving Egypt, they had to physically put blood on the doorposts of their homes so that when the Angel of Death who was in the spirit came, he would pass them over. Blood is physical and spiritual.
We continue our reading:
Proverbs 28:18-26 "Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. [19] He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. [20] A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. [21] To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. [22] He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. [23] He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. [24] Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. [25] He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. [26] He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered."
God has not given the righteous the spirit of fear but the spirit of love, the spirit of power, and the spirit of a sound mind. This is the Holy Spirit. He is accessible to the man or woman who has been redeemed out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the last Adam.
We conclude our reading:
Proverbs 28:27-28 "He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. [28] When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase."
The righteous will always prevail. Sooner or later, the wicked is like chaff blown by the wind.
Turn on your light of faith and exit the blood of fallen Adam. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the last Adam, as we revealed him from the first Adam. Fear is a spirit, a tormenting spirit. Love, peace, power, sound mind is God's answer to fear, in Christ!
