Pastor Daniel Batarseh explores Mark 5 to show how Jesus' command, 'Do not fear, only believe,' anchors the soul during delays and despair. By looking at the raising of Jairus' daughter, the sermon highlights how specific biblical promises and Christ's sovereign care provide victory over fear and death.

• 1Fear is often a result of misinterpreting God's delays as negligence or inability to help.
• 2A person who truly believes is not 'in haste,' meaning they remain composed and stable regardless of trembling circumstances.
• 3Effective spiritual warfare requires using specific, tailored biblical promises to combat specific lies and fears.
• 4Jesus is both a miraculous Savior and a practical Provider, caring for both our eternal destiny and our daily physical needs.
• 5For the believer, death is temporal 'sleep' because of Christ’s authority and the promise of resurrection.
