goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." (7) Then
Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be
strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the
land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you
shall cause them to inherit it. (8) And the LORD, He is the One who
goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake
you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

Deut. 31:6,8 NKJV (6) Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor
be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes
with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” (8) And the LORD,
He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not
leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
8. Matthew 10:26-31 NKJV Therefore do not fear them. For there is
nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be
known. (27) "Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and
what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. (28) And do not
fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear
Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (29) Are not
two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the
ground apart from your Father's will. (30) But the very hairs of your
head are all numbered. (31) Do not fear therefore; you are of more
value than many sparrows.

10. Romans 8:31-36 NKJV What then shall we say to these things? If God
is for us, who can be against us? (32) He who did not spare His own
Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also
freely give us all things? (33) Who shall bring a charge against God's
elect? It is God who justifies. (34) Who is he who condemns? It is
Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right
hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. (35) Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (36) As it is
written: "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE KILLED ALL DAY LONG;
WE ARE ACCOUNTED AS SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.”
11. Romans 8:38-39 NKJV For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things
to come, (39) nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall
be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
12. Josh.1:6-9 NKJV Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you
shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to
give them. (7) Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe
to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you;
do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper
wherever you go. (8) This Book of the Law shall not depart from your
mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to
do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way
prosperous, and then you will have good success. (9) Have I not
commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be
dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are

is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
14. We Must Obey God!!!
Hebrews 4:5-6 NKJV and again in this place: "THEY SHALL NOT
ENTER MY REST." (6) Since therefore it remains that some must
enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter
because of disobedience,

anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
15. Remain Faithful Until Work is Finished

the house of the LORD.

our God. And may the LORD do what is good in His sight.”

choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the

River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as
for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
