Do It Afraid
https://youtu.be/ZVDUByzJM8o
Israel cleaned house 4 So the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and served the Lord only.Admitted their sin 6 So they gathered together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out before the Lord. And they fasted that day, and said there, “We have sinned against the Lord.”They were afraid v7And when the children of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines
They cried out and trusted God v8 “Do not cease to cry out to the Lord our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”They went to war 11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and drove them back as far as below Beth Car.God delivered them 13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they did not come anymore into the territory of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
They were afraid but went to battle and God gave them the victory
“they were afraid of the philistines”
Some of ya’ll got some philistines in your life that you’re afraid to face because of fear.
Fear is natural
They had just been whomped by the philistines. They had seen God strike down their bretherenThey tried the ‘do it without God’ route and the results were abysmal. Things did not go wellIts natural that they would feel fear. If you had seen and heard about 10s of thousands of your countrymen die, and then you have to go up against a formidable force, you’d be fearful as well7 Now when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.They had done the right things- they had repented- They had removed the sin, but they were still afraid.Now they are facing the philistines- and I hope they are a bit afraid. Afraid of what would happen if they trusted in themselves or lived in their dual nature of serving other GodsYEAH DUDE> I’d be Afraid! People die when they go against the philistines without GodBe the guy in the group that says “I am not so sure about this gents”
Some fear in your life is actually good for you- its an indicator of something you should respect
Respect fire, firearms, water, electricity, and the debt collectors. (putting in outlet w power)Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.Godly fear isn’t fearing the things of this world, its about fearing God and realizing what you’re getting into
If you’re going to get married, have some fear, or kids, or new job, respect it. Its hugeBut you’re not going to be spiritually destroyed if you take the wrong job or buy wrong carWhat does it mean to youIf you have fear of facing big things in your life, that makes you human
Growing spiritually, emotionally, relationships, jobs, career moves, upward, confrontationProverbs 29:25 The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.Fear can be a gut check- what am I doing and who am I trusting.If you never feel any fear, I’m curious if you’re actually growing, because every time I grow to the next level I get scared.
Will I fail? Will I get hurt? Will I be embarrassed? Will God be with me? Am I even hearing God?Matthew 10:28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
