00:01 Welcome back. We're talking today about fear.
00:03 The fears that I experience, the fears that you experience,
00:07 and how the Lord Jesus Christ wants to bring us deliverance.
00:11 Today we identified six different categories of fear.
00:15 We talked about fears about faith, fears about family,
00:19 fears about health, fears about relationships,
00:23 fears about future, and fears about finances.
00:28 Next week we will talk about how the Lord Jesus Christ wants
00:32 to bring us deliverance from those fears that have bound us.
00:37 First though is our application, our assignment for this week.
00:41 And that is three-fold.
00:43 I have my journal here.
00:44 It's right in front of me.
00:46 This one was given to me by my mother in law, Valerie.
00:49 I love this journal, and it's something that I can use often,
00:53 and it stays open, and it's nice and flat.
00:55 So pick out a journal, or pick out a piece of paper;
00:58 something. It doesn't matter.
00:59 First write down what your fear is.
01:03 You might have a different fear than any of the ones that I've
01:07 mentioned here today.
01:09 It doesn't matter.
01:10 Identify what your fear is.
01:12 I've identified here, this is just an example, for this fear,
01:16 God is untrustworthy.
01:22 Next identify the lie.
01:24 What is the lie that Satan has told you?
01:27 What lie leads to that fear?
01:31 In this case I think we could say,
01:33 God causes evil and suffering.
01:39 If we think that, if we think God causes the evil
01:42 and suffering in this world then, of course,
01:45 we won't trust God.
01:48 Number three is Scripture.
01:50 Identify a Scripture that you can claim, that you can use,
01:55 that will combat the lie of the enemy.
01:58 The Scripture I chose for this fear, and this particular lie,
02:02 is James 1:17. It says, Every good gift, and every perfect
02:07 gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.
02:12 So God says, I want to bring you good and perfect gifts.
02:15 Of course I don't cause evil and suffering.
02:17 A second fear I have on my journal here
02:20 is health and disease.
02:22 The lie might be God is punishing me.
02:26 The Scripture God can use to combat that lie is John 9:3.
02:31 That's the story we talked about during the program with the
02:34 man who was born blind.
02:35 Neither this man sinned, nor his parents.
02:38 It wasn't either one of their faults.
02:40 God was not punishing them.
02:42 It was that the work of Christ should be glorified.
02:47 Whatever your fear is identify it this week.
02:50 Write down the lie, and then identify the Scripture
02:54 you can use to claim.
02:55 Next week we'll talk about how God wants to break that
02:59 fear and set us free.
03:00 Our closing Scripture is Romans 15:13.
03:04 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
03:08 in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power
03:11 of the Holy Spirit.
