HOW TO ELIMINATE FEAR IN YOUR LIFE
In this lesson we are going to learn how to get rid of fear.
Actually there are three basic types of fear we have to deal with
Two are good
and
One is bad
***************************
One of the good fears is a gift from God that keeps us from sticking
our finger on a hot burning stove or Jumping off a high building
or
Running out in front of a moving car
I am sure you get the idea.
It is a fear that God gives us to help us and we should be very grateful for it.
**************************
The 2nd fear is one we need to develop.
It will help us all of our lives and bring much pleasure, joy, and success.
It is:
THE FEAR OF THE LORD
Now I could spend an hour explaining what this means however to keep it simple
I am going to share that it is an "awe" or "reverence" for God.
It is holding God in such a high place in our life that we would never
want to do anything to displease Him
Not because we are afraid of Him but because we love Him so much we
don't want to do or say anything that would not be pleasing to Him
"What does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul"
Deut 10:12
***************
"The fear of the Lord leads to life,
and whoever has it rests satisfied;
he will not be visited by harm".
Proverbs 19:23
***************
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding". Psalms 111:10
**************
There are so many benefits to this type of "Fear of the Lord" that it would
take much time to list them all.
This is a Fear that we learn from spending time with God, getting to
know Him thru His Word and Prayer
IT IS A HOLY AWESOME
REVERENCE FOR GOD
******************************
The 3rd type of fear is not good.
It can come from different sources, shame, guilt. bad choices, the Devil, our DNA etc. etc.
The important thing to remember is that
IT IS NOT FROM GOD.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love,
and of a sound mind."
2 Timothy 1:7
It is a fear that keeps us from doing things we know we should do or would like to do. It may make us timid. It is fear that maybe keeps us from asking that gal or guy for a date.
or
trying to find a job because we don't think we can get it.
or
talking to our parents or teachers about some
things we would like to
or
we are afraid for no reason
or
we won't take risks
or
we worry a lot
or
we have a lot of anxiety
There are so many manifestations of this bad type of fear and
it can be debilitating in so many ways.
"fear has torment" 1 John 4:18
*********************
Thankfully God has made a way for us to eliminate this type of fear from our life.
It may take some time but here are some ways that God gives us to get rid of it.
1 Believe that God's perfect love
will cast it out of your life
"perfect love cast out fear "
1 John 4:18
***************
2. Humbly pray and ask God to remove it from your life so that
you might serve Him better
"For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And
to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened". Luke 11:10
*************
3.Say this every day
Dear Father God thank you for removing fear from my life.
"Then Jesus said to the disciples, "Have faith in God. 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" Mark 11:22,23
************
Believe you have received the answer to your prayer and and Speak like you have received it and you will have it.
******************
3. Do the thing you fear most and you will be surprised to see it was not that fearful at all.
God wants you to to show Him your faith and trust by taking
the FIRST STEP. He will help you b
YOU MUST TAKE THE FIRST STEP.
