IT IS THE ONLY WAY: YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST IS NECESSARY. WHEN YOU ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO YOUR HEART THAT PRODUCES UNIMAGINABLE CHANGES AND A UNDESCRIBABLE POWER TO DO THE WORK THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU TO DO. JUST SAY YES!

INTRODUCTION: SERIES: FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR, BUT FAITH IS! WHEN YOUR DELIVERANCE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE YOU THINK IT SHOULD!

Exodus 14:13-16

13 But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. 14 The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving! 16 Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground.

God does not always work in the way that seems best to us. Instead of guiding the Israelites along the direct route from Egypt to the Promised Land, He took them by a longer route to avoid fighting the Philistines. If God does not lead you along the shortest path to reach your goal, don’t complain or resist. Follow Him willingly and trust Him to lead you safely around unseen obstacles. God can see the end of your journey from the beginning, and He knows the safest and best route. 

There are times in our lives according to Robert Morgan when we “HAVE TO LEAVE ROOM FOR GOD”! We have to make up in our minds before we get to our Red Sea moments to trust God. Yes, we face so many things in our lives to cause us to be fearful, but guess what, God has shown us time and time again that He can be trusted through all of them.  

God’s instructions to Moses: stop praying and start doing. God said, why do you cry out to me?  Before the people, Moses was full of faith; but before God, he cried out in desperate prayer. This was good in a way because Moses had to show confidence before the Israelites to encourage their faith, but God is saying, there is a time to pray, and a time to act. It can actually be against God’s will to stop doing and to only pray in a particular situation. It’s time for action, Moses could pray on the way. “There is a time for praying, but there is also a time to move in faith. (We walk by faith and not by sight). Prayer is adapted for almost every season, yet not prayer alone, for there comes, every now and then, a time when even prayer must take a secondary place. There is something more to be done than to pray. We must not only ask for God’s help, but sometimes we got move forward, to make way for God’s help. God said, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the waters so y'all can cross on dry land. Obedience is always better than sacrifice.

Just like the word said, God is fighting this battle for you, Keep Calm! Stop crying, stop, complaining, let go of the anxiety and make that move. You will never know what is on the other side of that fear until you come out of by faith. Are you starting to realize that God is trying to get you to use your faith as a part of His plan to deliver someone out a situation that is not like anything they have ever seen?  

SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY:

PSALM 37:7-8- 7 Be still in the presence of the LORD and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. 8 Stop being angry!  Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm. 

DEUTERONOMY 31:6 – “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

NEXT WEEK, WE WILL CONTINUE THE SERIES: FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR, BUT FAITH IS! SOMETIMES WE JUST HAVE TO DO IT AFRAID! Next week read Esther 4:10-16

IT IS THE ONLY WAY: YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST IS NECESSARY. WHEN YOU ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO YOUR HEART THAT PRODUCES UNIMAGINABLE CHANGES AND A UNDESCRIBABLE POWER TO DO THE WORK THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU TO DO. JUST SAY YES!

INTRODUCTION: SERIES: FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR, BUT FAITH IS! DON’T LET FEAR GET IN THE WAY OF THE PROMISES! 

GENESIS 50:19-20

19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 

20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

We as Christian should be able to see the overruling hand of God in our lives to know that no matter what evil man brings against us, God can use it for good.

Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Sadly, for many of us, Christians don’t believe it.  Amen 

Ultimately, our lives are not in the hands of men, but in the hands of God, who overrules all things for His glory. 

Joseph came into the world already favored, He was favored by his earthly father Jacob and his Heavenly Father. He also was hated because of that favor. God uses both of them for His Glory and our good. 

God is intentional in allowing these situations to come into our lives. He uses everything, everyone, and anything to get us to the place He has promised us. Joseph was 17 when God started telling him of his greatness through dreams and he was 30 when those dreams were fulfilled. We know that during those 13 years there was nothing easy about Joseph’s life.

Let me assure you, there is value in the hard places in our life. For the last 3 episodes of “Fear is not a Factor, but Faith is”, we have talked about how God has been intentional in taking us from fear to faith. Whenever we come up against something we have never faced, we must have the assurance that God is about to do something mightily in our life. 

I know things may be looking bad right now, some of you may be in some type of physical, mental, or spiritual pit or prison but it is not the time to quit or become fearful, it is your time to trust God. I don’t know about y’all, but God's track record with me has been one I can depend on. Even when I messed up, God was still faithful to me.

How are you looking at the situation you are in right now? Can you see God in the middle of it or is your fear not allowing your faith to see God?  Are you being faithful in the situations you are in or have you thrown in the towel?  THERE IS NO SITUATION IN YOUR LIFE PRESENT NO FUTURE THAT GOD CAN'T HANDLE!

SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY:
Psalm 50:15- “Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” 

Psalm 145:13b- “The Lord always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does.”

REMEMBER MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS, IT TAKES GRACE TO MAKE IT!

IT IS THE ONLY WAY: YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST IS NECESSARY. WHEN YOU ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO YOUR HEART THAT PRODUCES UNIMAGINABLE CHANGES AND A UNDESCRIBABLE POWER TO DO THE WORK THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU TO DO. JUST SAY YES!

INTRODUCTION: SERIES: FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR, BUT FAITH IS! GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO FACE ANY FEAR!

SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 32:7-12

7 In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups, and the flocks and herds and camels as well.  8 He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one group, the group[c] that is left may escape.” 9 Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, Lord, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,’  10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps.  11 Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, and also the mothers with their children. 12 But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.”

The term “amends” is not used much these days, but when this concept is put into practice, it helps victims forgive the people that hurt them. Offenders can move on from guilt, shame, and self-blame. Amends also increases the possibility of reconciliation. The book When Sorry Isn't Enough by Gary Chapman states that all of us make mistakes that we regret. Being sorry, however, is not enough to restore relationships. We may need to offer amends in some cases. 

While on his way running from Esau n Genesis 28:15, while Jacob was sleeping God told him that “He was with him and that he would watch over him wherever he went, and that he would bring him back to the land his was leaving. He promised him that he would not leave him until he had done what He had promised him. Yes, even when we are afraid, even when we are the cause of our fears, God is always with us. It does not stop Him from blessing and keeping us. 

Life has a way of bringing up the things its life we have feared the most, the things we try to run away from. Some of us move so far away from our past hoping it will just disappear forever. One of the things that I have learned in this life is - NO ONE on this earth has the power to condemn me and they have no heaven or hell to put me in. God has forgiven me and I forgive myself!

Shakespeare was right when he wrote, “Conscience does make cowards of us all” (Hamlet, Act 3 Scene 1). As Jacob had no strength before Esau because of guilt, so many Christians today are also hindered by their past. 

SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY:
Psalm 27:1- “The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall, I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

Romans 8:31- “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”

IT IS THE ONLY WAY: YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST IS NECESSARY. WHEN YOU ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO YOUR HEART THAT PRODUCES UNIMAGINABLE CHANGES AND A UNDESCRIBABLE POWER TO DO THE WORK THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU TO DO. JUST SAY YES!

INTRODUCTION: SERIES: FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR, BUT FAITH IS! TRUST GOD AS YOU WALK INTO THE UNKNOWN!

SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 12:1-4

1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people, and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you and I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.  3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” 4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran.

Many of us know Abraham as being the “Father of Faith” but he did not always show this as God was taking him to the place he had prepared for him. Y’all God does not care how old or young we are when He calls us, He has prepared us for our faith journey and we must have a willing heart to obey obediently and a trustful mind to believe. Our faith in God is about us taking a daily walk with Him. 

When God called him, Abraham moves out in faith, from his country his people, and his father’s house and went to a land that God said he was going to show him. Sometimes we just have to go and see what the end gonna be. When God tells us to do something, like Abraham, the only job we have in the matter is to obey.  Sometimes God’s will for our lives may come in stages. Abraham was told to go from Ur to Canaan. God may give us transition periods and times of waiting to help us depend on Him and trust his timing. If we patiently do God’s will during our transition period, we will be better prepared to serve him as we should when he calls us.

We have to ask ourselves can God call me his own? Do I obey and trust God to do with me as He please? Look at this, God moved Abraham from a godless, self-centered city to the fertile region of Canaan, (a land flowing with milk and honey, where a God-centered, moral nation could be established. God is looking for progression in our spiritual walk. A lot of times we get stagnant, those are the times when God has to give us a nudge.  Just because we run into an obstacle while doing God’s will, it doesn't negate our responsibility to obey Him. 

SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY:

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

1 John 4:16-18

16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.

God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.

18 Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

INTRODUCTION: SERIES: FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR, BUT FAITH IS! WHERE DOES FEAR COME FROM?

SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 3:9-10

9 “And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?”10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked: and I hid myself.”

As I begin to ask God about what our next series mission, He led me to talk about the power that fear can enslave us. Shortly after praying and seeking God, I myself went through some days where fear was trying to creep into my heart and my mind. I started thinking having fears of my marriage ending, fears about my ankle surgery next week, and fears about me becoming a Christian counselor. I start imaging some crazy scenarios in my head and they seemed so real in my head at the time but thinks to my praying husband and children and my prayer partner and friend, these fears were overcome. 

Just saying the word FEAR can cause our emotions to stir up, we think about be scared of animals, certain places, people, dying, living, flying, drowning, can’t pay your bills, getting old, getting sick, being alone. I can go on and on and the list would just continue to pile and pile 

Fear according to Merriam Dictionary means to have an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger, it can be an anxious concern, or a reason for alarm.

There is  a normal fear, we were born with the flight- fight instinct, it is a part of us, it is a survival instinct given to us by God. This is the biochemical reaction. the problem occurs when our thoughts of the fears has crippled our minds that we don’t trust God to get us through them. These fears are real to the person and there are times when seeking medical treatment is necessary. 

Listen brothers and sisters God knows all about the things that has happened in our lives and triggers that produces these fears, but He wants to help us by healing us from the power they have over and in our lives. We must seek out and pray about where these fears are coming from. We must investigate our fears in order to overcome them. If we don’t know the roots of our fears, we can’t pray about it and seek deliverance from them. AMEN!!!!

During this series we will walk out of FEAR into FAITH. We are not going to rush through this. We are all in this together. God is faithful to take us from where we are to where He wants us to be. We must be willing to trust that He is ordering our footsteps. 

SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY:

Philippians 4:6-8

6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:34

34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

TRUTH BE TOLD CLAUSE: YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST IS NECESSARY. WHEN YOU ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO YOUR HEART THAT PRODUCES UNIMAGINABLE CHANGES AND A UNDESCRIBABLE POWER TO DO THE WORK THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU TO DO. JUST SAY YES!

INTRODUCTION- SERIES: HOW DID WE GET HERE?  HOLDING ON AND NEVER GIVE  UP!
SCRIPTURE:  HEBREWS 10:23- "Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise."

There are so many reasons for us to lose our hope due to the things that have been happening in our lives and the lives of those we know. We have the weight of these problems causing heaviness in our hearts that makes us want to give up but sisters and brothers I encourage you to hold on and hold out. God will see you through this.
 
There are also so many reasons for us to not lose hope. God has not forgotten about you.
Psalm 34:19- “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all” 

These afflictions can be many troubles, hardships, perplexing circumstances, adversities, evils, and ills. 

We all have gone through so much in the last couple of years. Losing so many loved ones, worship services, and church family, our health, our homes, jobs, social life, etc. I could go on and on but you understand where I coming from. It seems like with face suffering, grief, heartache, and pain will never end. This scripture can be one that disheartens your spirit because it tells us that our afflictions are many but I want to assure you that God promises us that He would deliver us out of them out. 

1 Peter 3-6- reminds us that we have been given a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ

We may never know the reasons behind these trials and tribulations but we do know that God has our undivided attention when they come and God will use all of them to develop our faith and our character in becoming more like Jesus

The most righteous person to walk the earth endured a great deal of affliction in 3 1/2 years. Christ endured severe pain, he cried, he was betrayed, beaten, mocked, and tortured and He died on the cross as an innocent man to make a way for us to escape the deathly consequences of sin in this world and the eternal separation from the Heavenly Father.

Although both the righteous and the wicked have troubles, the outcome of their circumstances is different because of their different relationships with the Lord,”

BE ENCOURAGED:

1 Peter 4:12 (NIV)- "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange was happening to you."

1 Peter 3:12- "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

13 while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. 

14 He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.
