Jesus Revolution: Encounter Presence Banishes Fear - Charismatic (Isaiah 41:10)

Source: ChurchWiseAI67 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

The Jesus People experienced "Fear not" through encounter—real presence banishing real fears. Charismatic theology sees Isaiah 41:10 as encounter promise: "I am with you"—tangible, experiential, manifest presence. The movement's fearlessness came from genuine encounters; their boldness flowed from experienced presence. "I will strengthen"—supernatural empowerment felt and known. Fear dissolves in manifest presence; dismay flees from encounter. Experience His presence; fear cannot remain. Encounter makes the promise real.
