Fear or Faith

1.            Fear contaminates procrastinates and negates. Faith Dominates, Creates, a Demonstrates.

Fear or Faith

1.            Fear Contaminates-

1Timothy 1:7- God has not given us a spirit of fear but of love power and a sound mind.

Fear is a spirit that will contaminate you. It will pollute your whole being. It causes worry, which causes sickness in the body. It even cause’s depression.

2.            It talks the problem not the answer. It believes what occurred not the word.

3.            Fear Procrastinates it will make you holds back when God tells you to do something.

4.            Fear Negates- to be negative; bring or cause negative results: a pessimist that always negates.

5.            Faith Creates- Romans 4:17- Call things that be not as though they were.

As God created the light, He said, light be and there was light.

We can say, body you have been healed. Or I am blessed.

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is assurance of (things) hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

Wow faith is now. The blessing is now.

6.            Faith Demonstrates- Galatians 6:7 you reap what you sow.

It gives to the needy. It serves with the right motive.

Lay hands on the sick and they will recover.

7.            Faith Dominates- Mark 11:23 Verily I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him.

It rules over, it over shadows, it overcomes any problem that comes our way, by speaking the word to overcome it, it attacks not just reacts.

 

 

Emotion

2.            Don’t have negative commotion in your emotion; it only produces negativity in your productivity.

Job had negative emotion he spoke what he feared and got it.

Mark 11:23-24

22 Then Jesus said to the disciples, "Have faith in God. 23 I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. 24 I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've received it, it will be yours.

Speaking  the word will get you positive productivity.

When Jesus was tempted, He did not give into negative emotion no he spoke the word against the Devil and those temptations.

 

 

 

God’s Work

3. Great satisfaction is a result of doing God’s work with excellent preparation...

1Timothy 2:15 15 Study to show you approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Hebrews 4:12

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

When you train for a sport there is a lot of physical work so that you become good at what you do.

You go to school to train your mind to do what you need to do.

The same is true with your spirit you need to train it with the studying of the word of God.

 

 

 

What Do You Put In Your Heart?

4.            The hearts transformation is a result of the word’s impartation.

Matthew 6:19-21

19 Lay not up for you treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 for where thy treasure is there will thy heart are also.

Matthew 19:13-24

19 When any one hearth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, (then) cometh the evil (one), and snatched away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side. 20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that hearth the word, and straightway with joy received it; 21 yet hath he not root in himself, but endured for a while; and when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, straightway he stumbled. 22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that hearth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that hearth the word, and understandeth it; who verily bearish fruit, and brunet forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 24 Another parable set him before them, saying, the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:

What are you letting in your heart? Where your heart is where treasure is.

Garbage in Garbage out.

 

 

Speak the Word

5.            Speak the word not what you heard or occurred. Speaking the word is the advancer to your prayers is answered.

Don’t speak and pray the problem. Pray and speak the answer Speaking the word is the answer.

Romans 4:17

Call things that are not as though they were.

Matthew 17:20

20 And he says to them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye shall say to this mountain, be transported hence there, and it shall transport itself; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

Speak to your mountain. Tell it to move. Tell it to leave.

You have a choice in your voice.

Just as you had a choice in your voice to get saved.

 

 

 

I Can Do All Things In Christ

6.            You don’t have to accept any disability when you have God’s ability.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

1John 4:4

Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world.

When gives you a vision or a plan to do you will have His ability to do it.

You need to find out what God’s plan is for you.

Remember God evengave Jesus a

 

 

 

God is Never Late

7..          Don't accept your fate, God is never late. He will bring you your mate all you have to do is cooperate.

Isa. 55: 8-9

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, smith Jehovah.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Don’t try to make something happen. Let God bring you your mate. He has someone for you far better than what you could pick out.

Jeremiah 29:1 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, smith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.

 

 

The Potter

8. Even when your life gets hotter you need to still let God be the potter.

Isa. 64:8

8 But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

God has a plan for your life let God shape you into that plan and purpose.

God had a plan for Gideon even though Gideon did not know it.

God called Him a mighty man of valor.

God called things that are not as though they were.

 

 

 

Take Dominion

9. Learn to take dominion and you will become God’s champion.

Romans 8:31-39

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God (is) for us, who (is) against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justified; 34 who is he that condemned? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also market intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Even as it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we were accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Matthew 16:19

19 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

You have the authority over anything the Devil tries to do to you. No one can do it for you.

 

 

 

Who Cares

10. Things won’t seem so grim when you cast your cares upon Him you will feel peace within.

1Peter 5:7

Cast your cares on him for he cares for you.

Matthew 6:33-34

33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Why worry it does no good all it does is make you sick and depressed.

 

 

 

How Does Your Mind Think?

11. Thinking the worse is part of the curse you can get God’s peace by thinking the best the you can rest in His rest.

Acts 26:2

Think You-self happy

Hebrews 4:1

4:1 let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

David was a man who thought of the best and not the worse in any situation he found him-self in.

Abraham was the same way.

How do you think?

Change the way you think to God’s way and your life won’t stink.

Romans 12:1-2

12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, (which is) your spiritual service. 2 And be not fashioned according to this world: but are ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
