ISAIAH 41:10
10 Fear thou not; for I 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.

Then in the New Testament, God says something else that agrees with the scripture we just read.

Take these scriptures as a personal message from God to you. Remember, the Bible is God speaking to you. God said in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee….”And because we as Christians are under the New Covenant, we can also say, “Thank God, He is in us.” That’s the best reason in the world not to be afraid, because God is with us and in us. Sometimes we try to help people and we’ll say, “Well, the darkest hour is just before dawn,” or “Don’t worry, things will be better tomorrow.” But I’m glad God gives us the best reason in the world not to fear. He is with us and in us!
Did you ever notice that again and again when God sent a message to His people, He would say, “Fear thou not.” He would send a message, perhaps through the prophets, and say, “Fear thou not.” Also, Jesus said to Jairus when they came and told Jairus that his little daughter was dead, “Fear not, only believe” (Mark 5:36; Luke 8:50). If God just told me, “Don’t be afraid,” and left it at that, I might say, “I can’t help it.” But He said in Isaiah 41:10, “For I am with thee.” Can you really believe that He is with you and be afraid? No! Can you really believe that He is in you and be afraid? No! If you are afraid, it’s because you are doubting Him.

“Yes,” someone said, “but, Brother Hagin, you don’t understand. I am so weak.” But God said, “… I will strengthen thee …” (Isa. 41:10). “Yes, but you just don’t understand. I just feel so helpless.” But God said, “… yea, I will uphold thee …” (v.10). Thank God, we already have the answer to every problem in the Word! But it is amazing how little the Word means to some people. We can help folks who want to be helped. But we can’t do anything for those who don’t want to be helped. If you beat people over the head with the truth, so to speak, that still does not help them if they don’t want to be helped. Kenneth Hagin, Faith Bible Study Guide, page 107.
