10 Reasons Not To Be Afraid

Text: Psalm 34 1 I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. 3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.



If you are delivered from all your fears, how much fear do you have left. (none).
It is possible to live free from all fear of evil.
There was no sin in the world until man sinned. God asked Adam why are you hiding. He said it was because he was afraid. God did not intend for man to be afraid. He created us to have dominion and have fellowship with him. But through the influence of the enemy, men are paralyzed with fear. And so if we are not going to fear, we’ve got to have revelation of truth. The Bible says you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

JESUS IS THE ANSWER.

I am convinced that there are no earthly answers to the problems facing our world today. Almost everyone believes that the future outlook for this world is bleak. I believe that the problem lies within the fact that people just simply don't know the "answer" to problems that we face.
I could spend a lot of time writing about the problems of this world (I'll do that some other time). But right now I want to talk about the answer to all of life's problems. Those in our past, present and future.

Jesus said. " I have come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly. " John 10:10 The problem we have is that we fail to understand what true abundance and prosperity really is. Here is my perception:

*Money cannot define prosperity and abundance.

*Abundance applies to every area of life- relationships, health, finances, etc.....

*Real abundance is having everything you need to do what God has called you to do.

*Abundance is an expression of God's love. When God told Adam he could have all the trees in the garden, it was an expression of God's love.

*If you are not enjoying life, you are not fulfilling God's will for your life.


EIGHT STEPS TO ABUNDANCE

1. You must have the word of God.

2. The Word of God determines your thinking.

3. Your thinking determines your emotions.

4. Your emotions determines your decisions.

5. Your decisions will determine your actions.

6. Your actions will determine your habits.

7. Your habits will determine your character.

8. Then you will arrive at your destination of abundance.

The bottom line is that Jesus is the answer and the world needs more of Him. We need more of Him in our government, our homes, schools, and yes, even in our churches. With more of Him, we Christians can turn our world upside down. With more of Him, poverty has to go, desease has to flee, all of lifes problems are understood.

Jesus is the Answer.
