How To Overcome Fear

Mark 4:35-41 (Verse By Verse) 

Teaches Us How To Overcome Fear 

1) Mark 4:35

And the same day, when the even was come,

He (Jesus) saith unto them,

Let us pass over unto the other side

     When you hear about the troubles and fears in this world, remember that Jesus promised his saved saints that they are going to pass over safely unto the other side and enter the peaceful kingdom of God. Like the children of Israel who left Egypt, all saved saints are on a journey through this troubled world going to the promised land called the peaceful kingdom of God. Our life on this earth is just a vapour that appears for a little while and vanishes away. But very soon our Lord Jesus will appear in the air and after the christians are caught up to the clouds, trouble, death, fears, and worries will be gone forever and there will be everlasting peace with Jesus. 

     Soon after this short time on earth, all the saved saints will have joy unspeakable forevermore with our Lord Jesus in the kingdom of God. 1 Peter 1:8 says Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Revelation 21:4 says And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 

     Get saved today and overcome this troubled world. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Isaiah 41:10 says Fear thou not; for I (the Lord Jesus) am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

2) Mark 4:36

And when they had sent away the multitude,

they took Him (Jesus) even as He was in the ship.

And there were also with Him other little ships.

     To overcome fear take Jesus with you everywhere. Begin every day by saying Lord Jesus send your angels to cover me, my home, car, job, and everywhere I go with the blood of Jesus. Say daily I am crucified with Jesus Christ and covered by the blood of Jesus. Let the devil know that the blood of Jesus has overcome and defeated the devil, and that evil must pass over me, and that the blood of Jesus has cleansed me of all my sin. In other words the blood of Jesus makes the difference and saves people's lives and overcomes all fears and troubles. God promised us at Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood (of the Lamb Jesus), I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

     Even though you might not see the blood of Jesus, the blood of Jesus is real. The blood of Jesus is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever according to Hebrews 13:8. By faith every day cover yourself in the blood of Jesus and you will be safe from harm and overcome any fear. With Jesus we always have the victory over anything in this troubled world. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. 

      Take Jesus with you everywhere and you will overcome any trouble around you. How comforting when our Lord Jesus told us at Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Rejoice and say Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things?  If God be for us, who can be against us? Claim the promise of James 4:7 that says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. The devil flees when no man pursues. Proverbs 28:1 says The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

     Note that there were also other little ships with sinners that followed the disciples to Jesus and salvation. Like the disciples, I pray in Jesus name that all my friends reading this everywhere will be blessed with boldness to witness Jesus everywhere and bring multitudes of saved sinners in other little ships to our Lord Jesus for peace and salvation forevermore in the kingdom of God. Let it be said that when Brother Bob's ship sails into the kingdom of God that there were also with him many other little ships holding innumerable saved sinners that got saved reading preachbrotherbob.

3) Mark 4:37-38

And there arose a great storm of wind,

and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:

and they awake Him, and say unto Him,

Master, carest thou not that we perish?

     If water gets into a fisherman's boat, eventually the boat will sink. But when the disciples were on the boat with Jesus that was full of water, their boat did not sink. That's because when Jesus is in your vessel, you will not sink into fear, depression, or death. You might be surrounded by the troubled waters of this world. But if Jesus is living in your vessel by faith, the troubled waters of this world will not be able to sink you into fear, depression, or death. Jesus will say Peace be still to your troubles and give you victory, peace, and strength to overcome any worry, fear, or sickness.  

     Now like the disciples when your vessel is surrounded by the troubled waters of this world, call on the Lord Jesus to receive peace, safety, and life. Call on Jesus and wake Him up by daily praying Lord Jesus save me from this troubled world. Pray, repent, stop sinning, and stay under the blood of Jesus to get healed and overcome this troubled world. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.   

     Jesus is waiting on you to call on Him to deliver you from this troubled world. 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to call on Jesus in trouble for deliverance from worry, fear, and trouble. Casting all your care upon Him (Jesus); for He careth for you. The Lord Jesus said at Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. James 4:2 says Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Jesus said at John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. Right now in Jesus name I pray for deliverance for anyone that says Psalm 55:22: Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Baal, Muhammad, or any man made god 

will not wake up and help you

Call on the Lord Jesus who will wake up and help you

     When Elijah lived on the earth, 450 false prophets of Baal and 400 false prophets of the groves (1 Kings 18:19) tried to wake up Baal by calling on him all day long. 1 Kings 18:26 says And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 

     Today like the false prophets of Baal and the groves, people trust in everything but the Lord Jesus for deliverance from this troubled world. The only way to overcome fear in this world is to call on the Lord Jesus for help. Jesus is not like Baal, Muhammad, or any man made god that will never wake up to help anyone. Like the disciples on a boat full of troubled water, call on the Lord Jesus, and Jesus will wake up and help you. Be like King David and say Psalm 121:1: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord (Jesus), which made heaven and earth. Hebrews 13:6 says So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

4) Mark 4:39-41

And He (Jesus) arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,

Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful?

How is it that ye have no faith?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another,

What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

     Finally like the disciples, if you call on the Lord Jesus for deliverance from this troubled world, Jesus will give you peace and joy. Jesus will say Peace be still and the troubles from this world will end. Jesus told us at John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. And Isaiah 26:3 promises Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee (the Lord Jesus): because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength (note that the Hebrew definition for strength is Rock). This is why we sing Rock of Ages because Jesus is an everlasting Rock stated at 1 Corinthians 10:4.

     You can't go to Walmart and buy peace and happiness. You can't go to your neighbor and borrow peace and happiness. Only Jesus can give us peace and happiness to overcome fear and trouble in this world. Psalm 144:15 says Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God (Jesus) is the Lord. To overcome fear say Psalm 56:3: What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee (Lord Jesus). In God I will praise His Word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. When things make no sense according to man and there seems to be no answer to a problem, just trust in the Lord Jesus for total deliverance and watch the problem quickly disappear.

     1 John 4:18 tells us how to overcome and defeat fear. There is no fear in love; but perfect love (Jesus Christ crucified) casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Jesus Christ crucified is perfect love because Jesus is perfect and John 15:13 says Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. This occurred when the Lord Jesus died for lost sinners on the cross of Calvary. In other words daily look by faith with your heart to Jesus Christ crucified and you will not be afraid. When you preach or speak before people, look to the cross of Jesus and you will not be nervous or afraid. 

     Overcome fear and say Psalm 46:1: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
