Transcript
When you look around and you see your physical surroundings or you see all of the boulders and blocks and hills and mountains that you have to climb.
Does that give you fear? Do you worry about, Lord, how am I gonna do this? How am I going to do this all alone? It just seems like these challenges that I'm having are insurmountable. In 2 Kings 6 verses 16, it says, don't be afraid. The prophet answered, those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
Don't be afraid.
When you have fear in your heart, in your mind, in your spirit, in your soul, that means that you haven't fully relinquished your concerns, your cares, your stress to the Almighty God. Do not be afraid when we operate with a spirit of fear.
We are signaling to our mind, to our brain, to our soul that I am not okay. And when you signal that to yourself, you are allowing the enemy to take a stronghold within you, to allow that fear to turn into anxiety, to turn that anxiety to turn into self doubt. And then that self doubt moves its way.
Wesleyne (:and then you start feeling tight in your body. You get headaches, you get physically sick because fear is not just a feeling or an emotion. It is a physical thing that will manifest throughout your body if you don't deal with it as soon as you feel it. The prophet said,
Those who are with us are more than those who are with them. Who's with us? Each and every day, each and every moment of the day, we have God the Father, we have God the Son, and we have God the Holy Spirit with us, dwelling inside us. So God the Father is our guiding light. He is our Father. And so when we are...
afraid? How can we be afraid when we know that we have God the Father on our side and God the Son? He died so that we would not hold anything that we've done against ourselves so that we won't hold anything that anyone else has done against them.
and the Holy Spirit, He dwells within us to fill all the gaps that we have within us to ensure that.
We are whole to ensure that the fear that we have doesn't affect our joints and our mind and doesn't affect us in the way that the enemy wants it to. So remember, don't be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them. Focus on who you have on your team.
