John 14:12 “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” This is an amazing promise and Jesus repeats it two times. In two consecutive verses Jesus promises that if we ask anything

Isaiah 41:10, “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.” I remember when I was a student at Moody Bible Institute we had a missionary
II Chronicles 16:30: “Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.” All throughout the Bible we are taught to fear God. In this verse all the earth is commanded to fear God. Many modern translations render this as tremble before God. Young’s Literal Translation tells
