Subject:

Fear in a general sense, not a right fear.
Remind ourselves to seek the Lord everyday. We get caught up in our lives and forget to seek him. He hears us and and will deliver us from our fears. We don’t realize how much fear we still have, being diligent in seeking the Lord is how to be delivered from your fears. Knowing if you do seek Him you WILL be delivered.
Because you find that you have submitted to a fear, it isn’t a mark against you. We do fall into diverse temptations as it says in James, the Lord shows us where we are so we can press on. You can’t be watchful for something you don’t know is in your life so when you fall it shows you the thing we need to diligently watch for to fight against.
Daily lift your needs up and put your trust in him and when you do there is nothing lack. Trust in Him fully.
Take the knowledge to war a good warfare to be found faithful is the whole point.
Fear is a spirit which is not of God, but is the cares of this world. You have to rebuke it and put you face into the fear and stand against it. It is a hard fight but is extremely important to fight because whatever you fear becomes your God and we want our God to be the Lord Jesus Christ.
In order for Him to hear us we have to make seeking Him something we do all the time.
We have to confront things all the time if we are going to grow in Christ. He has given us all we need including His word. Apply His word not withstanding how you feel. Also gives us His Spirit which gives us the power to war a good warfare.
Walk even as He walked, in that walk we are faced with fears; of people, lack of needs, etc…
Battles look different for everyone but it is the same battle. We have to continue to press on knowing we have to overcome. There is no way around it if we want to be found in Him.
We are to exhort one another unto good works and go to our authorities. Don’t make excuses for where you are, God will not dwell in excuses but in faith.
Fear is a spirit; a lying spirit. You must by the Spirit of God put it off. If we are of God we do not recieve what is not of God.
We have to make the decision to send it away.
Even when we do fall, seek the Lord and He will deliver you from all your fears. That’s the beauty, he is there for us where we are at. Full of mercy and grace.
It is past time to take seriously the word of God. He has given us Power, Love and a Sound Mind.
How can we say we are His if we chose not to believe Him.
Hearken, do you hear what the Lord is saying and do it. Taking heed is also hearing and doing. All of us have to do better at.
To go from self esteem which is evil to confidence is to pray. Pray to be strengthened against your fears then stand up and exercise yourself in obedience. Pray to have ears to hear so we can obey which we have heard.
Samuel didn’t let any words of the Lord drop. How many words have we have let drop? If Samuel didn’t let one word drop it is possible for us to do the same thing.
We can be made perfect in love a high calling we all can attain. God is love.
As things are revealed to us we have got to choose to put them off and believe the Lord, if we do we will come to the place where fear is cast out.
Fear is a place of torment. We can be made perfect in love. It is in that place we can minister the gospel.
If you are controlled by fear you are in torment but you don’t have to be. When you spent time in fear you see God’s enormity of mercy and grace.
Get angry at the fear, sometimes you have to get violent with garbage. Resist the devil and He will flee, it starts with humbling yourself before the Lord.
We are poor and needy as in need of the Lord, He is there and available. His provision is so thorough and complete for us.
Our need is never ending for the things of the Lord. Cast all your cares upon him because He cares for us. He can’t care for us if we don’t give them to Him.
Hannah believed God heard her prayer. She had confidence in the Lord not herself. We have to hear what has been spoken, believe it and do what it takes for it to become our life.
Don’t be afraid!
If you are at a place where you don’t have faith in God ask Him for it. He will give you the will to do His good pleasure, His commandments are His good pleasure.
He shows us these things so we can be changed. If we will believe it. If we will, he is there to accomplish it in and through us. We need to learn to come into alignment with what He said not what we feel.
Are we willing to exhort one another because we each need exhortation.
We all start out not strong & not trusting God. But need to come to the place where we are strong and do trust God.
When you recognize fear set yourself to put it off. If Job wouldn’t have had fear there would not been an open door for the devil to come in and reek havoc. It is a spirit of satan and we can overcome it.
We don’t stand because we are some great thing but because He is great.
God is love, but as we cleave unto His word we will come to walk it and when we walk it His is manifest.
Don’t get hung up on your failures, put them off it is pride and unbelief which are two things that do not dwell in the body of Christ.
Fear of man: everyone of us fall in.
It comes down to who are you going to trust? Who you fear is your God. Who or what do you fear.
Don’t be stopped in what you should say by man. Keep your eyes on the Lord. We need to be watchful. Exercise our spiritual senses. How often do we do this? If we will then we will be able to stand not withstanding. In that we will overcome. We aren’t man’s servants we are God’s servants. Chose His way not our own.
Set yourself against being moved by the reviling of others. We don’t have to be moved. To be moved it is natural for our flesh. Be sure not to accept condemnation when we do fall into the faults of the flesh. Pick up and move on by faith.
Get over ourselves in thinking we can do anything. The flesh is always there, we need to chose to get out of agreement with it.
Fellowship is important because there is a rest in it. It is a choice we make to believe God, not a feeling. We will get stronger in it if we will do so.
Fear thou not for I am with thee! A scripture to believe! Is He your God? We have no strength, He will strengthen us if we ask. God is my strength. You learn by choosing to believe and going forth in it.
Put off fear and dismay! He will give you strength and all the good things of Him. Don’t forget what the Lord has made available for us. Choose those things He has, nothing compares! Recognize you need them. Recognize he is there to supply them and he wants to give them to us. It is His good pleasure to give us those things. We have to take it. We don’t deserve any good thing of the Lord, we never will. He has made it available. Let us receive! Avail yourself of all you need to fight the warfare.
