“Do not be afraid,” 1 young girl filled with the Holy Spirit powerfully preached this scripture.
Do Not Be Afraid
Many times in the Bible we are encouraged and instructed to not be afraid.
The words “fear not” first appeared during the time of Abraham. “After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward” (Genesis 15:1, NIV).
Additionally, even during the time of Joshua, God continually reminded His people to not be afraid. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9, NIV).

God’s people were constantly swayed by the troubles of life, and God needed to remind them to never be afraid. Jesus admonished His disciples, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27, NIV).
Young Girl Filled With the Holy Spirit
Clearly, this young girl filled with the Holy Spirit was sharing this powerful message: “Don’t fear anything; don’t fear what the people say. Don’t fear anything; don’t listen to them. Let them do what they do, but for us, let’s praise God.”
In a world full of people who are afraid to offend others with truth, we need to be more like this young girl.
Additionally, she shared, “Today, I’m standing here with my two feet; I’m not afraid of anyone. I’m afraid of God. You shouldn’t be afraid of people; what do they give?”
Pray Everywhere
Not only did she remind everyone to not be afraid, but she also encouraged us to pray everywhere, remembering that God is always within reach.
“Going to the bedroom, going to this bed, going to the kitchen—praying everywhere. You should pray everywhere. Wherever you are, God is with you,” she concluded.
