Fear not....

Luke 12:32 (KJV)
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

This is what God shares about His heart towards His beloved. God says it gives Him pleasure, but not just pleasure, but good pleasure, to give His beloved the Kingdom. This is something that is foremost in His mind, the giving of the Kingdom to His beloved. This is that that causes His heart to rejoice....Even to the command to fear not, which is just another way of saying doubt not.

Fear or doubt not is the command, to not doubt that His will is for His beloved to inherit the Kingdom. For God’s heart is towards all those that choose to be His. For God has invited all those that fell in Adam to be born again. God has done all that is good and proper to secure man’s salvation. Now He asks, would you have it? To those that choose Him He gives power to become the children of God.

For this choosing Him is an act of the will, it is not a work. It is something all are free to choose or not choose. To this choosing God says fear not, to doubt not. For God wants you to choose Him, to not doubt His goodness and love for you.

For the choosing of God is the manifestation of the hearts desire after Him. For to the degree one desires and chooses God, to that degree will they experience, see, and know God and experience His Kingdom.

For the Kingdom of God is the knowledge of God made manifest in the heart of the believer. Where in the heart righteousness reigns, which produces the peace and joy of God in the innermost being. A joy that knows know bounds. A joy that is unstoppable, in the darkest of nights or the lowest of valleys the joy that can not be quenched. This is the Kingdom that it pleases God to give. This Kingdom is all accessed by the faith of the heart turned towards righteousness.

For it is righteousness; for walking in righteousness is the doorway to the Kingdom of God within you. Walking in righteousness is the opener of the goodness of God to the heart of man. All the blessings of God come through man walking in all the righteousness they see at the present moment of time.. This is the degree of the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in the believer.

For to the degree one walks in righteousness, to that degree are they walking in the will of God. For God’s will is always that which is righteousness in the situations and circumstances of life. Regardless of what they might be. Fear not, doubt not is the command, for God wants to give more than we want to receive.

For the will must choose to fear not, the will must choose to doubt not. For the will is the leader in life. The heart will only be filled with that which the will chooses to embrace and have faith in, and to that degree.

“Fear not for it is your Father’s good pleasure”

This is written for the heart to embrace and have faith in. To give the heart strength, to cause the heart not to shrink back or doubt the goodness of God towards it. For God does want us, does desire us. For God so loved that He gave. This is an eternal give. But only the heart that is willing to receive can receive that which God would give. But to that heart that is willing, God says; fear not. For the heart will embrace only that which it does not fear.

For the greatness is on the Giver, not the receiver. The pleasure is God’s, so to strengthen the heart that would receive, God says, fear not.

For it is a love relationship God would have with His children and He would have us His children know it is.......

Onto Him be the all of our hearts, Not me.

Just who are you addressing and into what situation?

Dear has several meanings some we are definitely to do. If addressing teenagers then 'fear not!' is often the last thing to say to a toesterone stoked 16 year old convinced he is indestructible.

As we read in the posted scripture, “the little flock” is being addressed.

To whom and when still loam large for me.

Just as a case can be made out for the contention that…. a) we have already been saved….b) we are currently in the process of being saved….and c) there will come a time when we are finally and fully saved, so too a case case can be made out for contending that…. d) the ‘Kingdom’ has already been granted….e) the ‘Kingdom’ is currently in the process of being established…..and f) the ‘Kingdom’ is yet to be established when Christ returns as King, and those who are accounted worthy shall live and reign with him.

We read that “Among them born of women there had not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he”.
Is that not because John the Baptist died before the Kingdom came into being?
But when did it come into being? Some will contend that it didn’t come into existence until after the Tabernacle was destroyed in AD70.
“Into the second Tabernacle went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing”

Even the Apostles, after Christ had showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God, still thought that when he commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, he was referring to their expectation of the restoration of their earthly kingdom of Jerusalem when they responded with “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?”

A day is as a thousand years with the Lord (and vice versa). The day may be coming when time shall be no more, yesterday may be as the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow may be as the day before yesterday.

Ecclesiastes tells us “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.”

I will stand with you before the Throne of Grace, that these questions that you have in your heart. That He, by His hand, might make plain to you.

Hi, I think you answer was quite correct;

“those that have ears to hear”

Be blessed as we submit our hearing unto God, Not me
