Peace That Passes Understanding
Seeing Through The Eyes Of God
The Upside-Down Logic of Fear
Fearless - Week 1 by First Baptist Conroe
We'd all agree that life would be easier if there were never any attacks or reasons to fear. The reality, however, is that will never be the case. Attacks will happen. Attacks from the enemy, people, and sometimes ourselves. But just because something arises to bring fear, that doesn't mean it gets to win. Paul experienced a snake bite in Acts 28 — he experienced an attack — but even though the snake was poisonous, it had no effect on him. We aren't always protected from BEING attacked; but in Him, we are protected from the EFFECTS of the attack.
Fear and worry cause us to overcomplicate what God has really made simple. We begin to look for answers, and we overlook the solution God has already spoken. Because when we face earthly battles, it's easy to believe that we need an earthly solution. This only causes us to overcomplicate things that God has already handled on our behalf.
When Jesus was preparing to ascend to heaven after His resurrection, He told the disciples that He was leaving them His peace. Jesus knew that the disciples would face scary days ahead, just like He knew we would face difficult days. There are legitimate reasons to fear all around us…when we try to face it on our own. Jesus said — rather than trying to face fear with things you think will bring peace, make the decision to embrace MY peace. While we may find peace in things on this earth for a moment, the peace that Jesus provides is forever. There's a better way to face fear and find peace; and it's by embracing the peace Jesus already gave us.
Fear arises when we lose our confidence. We lose our confidence when we lose our faith. This is almost never done intentionally, but it takes place when we begin to trust in the wrong things. For many of us, it's not that we've completely lost our confidence — it's that we've put our confidence in the wrong things. Life isn't easy…the life of a follower of isn't easy. The enemy is always busy, and he knows if he can cause us to misplace our confidence, he can get us to stop walking in what God has for us all together. This is why we have to ensure our confidence is resting in the proper place — Jesus.
It seems as if there are always reasons to fear, always reasons to be afraid. We feel weak, and we automatically assume we'll fail. We get a bad report from the doctor, and we automatically assume the worst. We lose our job, and we automatically are tempted to believe we're going to lose everything. However, it doesn't matter what it looks like — it matters what God said. In His word, He told us there may look like you have a reason to be afraid; but with Him, there's no reason.
“Of all the hazards, fear is the worst,” Sam Snead (professional golfer)Fear makes us fret, panic and freeze. Fear keeps us living small. Fear feels like butterflies in your stomach, like wanting to throw up, like you want to cry and it sends your heart racing and makes your body feel tight. Fear is the worst and it is a part of life. It adds unnecessary dirty pain and sticky thoughts to our lives. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1934961/10155553-episode-4-dirty-pain-and-sticky-thoughts.mp3?download=trueToday you will learn how to let fear come along for the ride in your journey without letting it steer the course of your career.I talk about 4 ways to help you move through fear. 1.
