Fear Not | Part 1

1. Fear breeds more fear.

“I’ve been through some terrible times in my life, a few of which actually happened.” - Mark Twain

2. Fear clouds our judgment.

3. Fear redirects energy.

Convert fear into faith.

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Galatians 5:6 (NIV)

The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

1 John 4:18 (NIV)

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Prayer

Psalm 34:4 (NLT) 

I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.

Read God’s Word

Romans 10:17 (ESV)

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Psalm 91:1-16 (NIV)

I will dwell in the shelter of the Most High and I will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save me from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

I will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

“The LORD is my refuge,” and I make the Most High my dwelling, therefore no harm will overtake me, no disaster will come near my tent. For he will command his angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways. 

I will call on the LORD, and He will answer me; He will be with me in trouble, and with long life God will satisfy me and show me His salvation.”
