The fear is real but it's not final. He says, I will fear no evil. David doesn't deny the danger, he denies the power of fear. Even though I walk through the valley of shouting, I will fear no evil because fear says this would destroy you, you won't make it, God has abandoned you but then faith responds and says God is still with me, this will not be the end because I am not alone. I will fear no evil. Why? Because thou art with me. [01:09:56] (34 seconds)  #FearIsRealNotFinal Download clip

God's presence isn't based on performance, isn't canceled by your mistake, isn't seasonal or conditional. Even when you feel distance, he is still near because you're never alone. You may feel overwhelmed. You may feel unsure. You may feel like you barely hang alone, but we still have this word. Our heaven declares it. God's word declares it. I am with you. Not behind you, not waiting at the finish line, but walking beside you right now. [01:23:12] (38 seconds)  #PresenceNotPerformance Download clip

Don't stop. Don't give up. Why? He's prepared a victor's table for you in the presence of your enemy. What does that mean? In the presence of your situation.

Be courageous for I am with you wherever you go because I prepared a table for you in the prayers of your your enemy. [01:18:41] (23 seconds)  #VictorsTableReady Download clip

I think one of the the deepest human fears isn't failure. Probably isn't pain even though that is and not even death, but it's it's it's being alone. One thing people don't wanna do is is be alone. You can face almost anything if you know that someone is with you. You got somebody with you. You can you can face it as long as you're not alone.

You anoint my head with oil, my cup runneth over. What a cup runneth over means? That when you're sitting at the king's table, the one sign that you know that the king has found favor with you is how he fills your glass. If this guy over here ain't halfway fighting, he's not pulling his weight, you don't even know if he's even with you. He'll look at the servant and says, cut him off. No more for him. He looks down early in and says, oh, he's battling. [01:19:27] (38 seconds)  #CupRunnethOver Download clip

And God understands that fear, and that's why one of the most repeated promises in the Bible is simply is powerful, but it's simple, and it is I am with you. That's what he says. He says, I'm with you. Not I'll fix everything instantly. He's not saying that. Not you'll never struggle, but you will never face it alone. [00:45:16] (24 seconds)  #NeverFaceItAlone Download clip

Transitions are where fear usually speaks the loudest. New job, new season in life, loss, calling you your a calling that you might have but you feel unqualified for. I mean, I could go on and on the different things that that that makes us feel inadequate or or transitions and makes us feel like we're alone. But god says you don't have to feel ready. Just remember that I'm with you. [00:59:47] (26 seconds)  #WithYouInTransitions Download clip
