Trade a Lie for a Truth

LIE: Fear Gives Good Counsel vs. TRUTH: God is the Wise Counselor (with Susie Larson)


Listen Later

You know those warnings that go off in our mind?

  • “You better prepare for the worst.”
  • “You can’t trust people — you’ve been hurt before.”
  • “God might not come through this time.”
  • “Play it safe. Don’t risk it.”
  • It sounds like wisdom. It feels like caution. But underneath, it’s fear. And fear is not the fruit of a good counselor — it’s the evidence of a liar.

    Scripture tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and a sound mind. That means anytime fear is steering the ship, God isn’t the one driving.

    The enemy loves to masquerade as someone looking out for you. He’ll disguise fear as foresight. He’ll present anxiety as “being realistic.” But he’s not protecting you — he’s paralyzing you. Why? Because fear shrinks your faith. It keeps you stuck. It puts you in self-preservation mode instead of God-trust mode.

    So today, how about you join Susie Larson and me in trading that lie — the enemy’s warnings are worth listening to — for this truth: God alone gives wise counsel, and His perfect love casts out fear?
