Little Foxes of Faith Series Part 2

Little Foxes of Faith pt. 2

The next issue that many Christians face is WORRY. People believe that when you worry about something it shows that you care or that is of importance to you, but that is the exact opposite. The word of God teaches us that we’re not supposed to worry about anything.

WORRY- concerned, anxious, troubled easy.

Matthew 6:25-34 Jesus speaks to his people telling us that he cares for us

I Peter 5:7 Tells us to cast our cares on him.

Worrying never changes circumstances and it is the opposite of Faith, where worry abides Faith cannot live.

Quite similar to worry FEAR is a gripping emotion that renders Christians powerless when you should be fighting. A good illustration on fear operating against faith is the story when Jesus commanded Peter to walk on water with him. Jesus said “Be of good cheer! It is I: do not be afraid.  

FEAR- be afraid or feel anxious or apprehensive about a possible or probable situation or outcome of events.

When you find yourself in a difficult situation and you feel the spirit of fear coming on you bind it and command it to flee because fear is not of God and therefore has no legal right to dwell in you.

Matthew 14:22-33 Jesus gave Peter the authority and power to walk on water, once Peter let his emotions grab hold of him he began to sink. The same is true in our lives today, God has given us power to move mountains but many of us are just so afraid to step out on Faith we spend our whole lives wondering what could’ve been instead of trusting God and living life to our maximum potential. Jesus goes on to say “O you of little faith why did you doubt?” Fear has become one of the greatest down falls of many people fear of succeeding of failing; I don’t know what it is. Whenever you find yourself wanting to give up think about the words Jesus asked Peter WHY DOUBT? Do you not trust your heavenly father enough to know that if you trust him completely and obey his word he will never let you fail? There is no failing when you live in Christ.

Philippians 4:13 Says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” we see it throughout the scripture God telling us his children to have faith and trust in him.

The difference between people who succeed tremendously in life and those that don’t is simply those who operate in Fear and those who go for the gusto. As a Child of God you must understand you already have the upper hand in any situation and in any battle, once you understand that and operate in it you will be able to conquer and overcome any obstacle.

Ask yourself what’s the difference between FEAR & RESPECT.
