Guest speaker Mark Linder uses 2 Timothy 1:7 to expound on confronting and dealing with fear and rising up as Christians. Once you understand your identity in Jesus, you can quit pretending to be somebody else.
When we believe the lie, we empower the liar. When we believe the Truth, we empower the Living God to flow through us with His Holy Spirit and start delivering the oppressed and the captives. Fear is not from God. Jesus came to deliver you from that spirit of fear.
Don’t be fearful or afraid to occupy the promises the Lord has given you.
Don’t just settle for less when you know the Father has more for you.
Self-doubt holds back more believers than any other enemy. Know this: When you know something is from Me and you’re obedient to step out in it, I will keep your back and bless you for overcoming that fear.
I say choose blessings or curses. They don’t choose—you do! Focus on My love and provision, and you will soon be on that mountain.
But know this, he whom I can trust in small matters, will be leaders of much larger ones. In times such as this, leaders must press on for the goal and not give up, ever.
Are you ready to go to higher ground?
If you could only see all that I have done to protect you, you would never be afraid.
I have positioned angels and assigned them to watch over and keep you safe. If you could only know the times I have rescued you from any danger and you were not even aware.
Trust Me on every detail of your life for I love you, and I have plans and wonders you cannot imagine.
Be faithful and don’t follow your feelings, but trust your heart, for it’s in your heart that My peace dwells. Don’t let any worry or concern weight you down. Through prayer seek My face.
All things are possible if you believe. If you could only trust and know of My great power. When you pray and believe, fear not, only believe.
