Episode 26: Christian Self-Talk Pt. 1 - No Fear
There is an idea that is growing very popular, the idea of self-talk. Speak positive affirmations over yourself, don't let any negativity into your space, find your worth within yourself. These things sound very good on the surface, but they have a shaky foundation. Without a solid basis of truth from which to say these things, you are at the mercy of your emotions, the words of others, and the wicked lies that come from the enemy.
But a Christian has a solid basis to make claims about himself because he has the unchanging word of God, which holds promises and truths that are perfectly applicable to our lives. One of the most powerful and challenging of these truths is that we do not have to feel fear. If we were perfectly sanctified, we would never, ever feel fear.
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of self-control." - 2 Timothy 1:7
If we believe that we have God's spirit living within us, we have a fearless spirit. God has told us so many times not to fear. In big things, in small things, our God declares over and over again: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. " (Isaiah 41:10)
Let it be known that these are three lies that can cause fear in your life.
1. "God will not provide." That is a lie. "God will provide every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:19
2. "God will not protect me." That is a lie. "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." - Isaiah 43:2
3. "God has it out for me." That is a lie. "I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul." - Jeremiah 32:41
If God has your best interest for your future, can protect you, and promises to provide for you, then you never have to feel fear. All you have to do is follow Him, love Him, and obey His commands.
