Having Faith ＞ Fear: Part 1

Today, we are going to talk about that dreaded thing we call fear. Yep. That thing we carry around with us. That thing our minds tell us is needed to “protect us”. That thought that keeps daughters of the King like you and I playing small ball. Our old buddy we have let hang around for way too long. Today, we are going to tell it to shut the heck up and go back where it came from! Today’s episode starts a new series titled Faith > Fear. This is part 1. our minds tell us something totally different about fear, doesn’t it? We like to listen to fear. Fear gives us an excuse to stay in our comfort zones. Our minds are default programmed to think fear keeps us safe. Nope, if it makes me scared, that is just evidence it’s not meant to be. How many times have you believed that in your life?And this faith > fear thing, it’s autobiographical for me too. I’m sure you have heard this preached once or twice or like 100 times before. Matthew 14 is a very popular set of scripture. I will be honest, fear kept me second guessing myself when I decided this was the passage I was going to teach from. BIG pastor names have used it in their preaching. I almost chose a different passage to do an episode on. Therefore, this very episode you are listening to is a product of me having to push past my own fear to create something beautiful out of faith!In order to exercise our faith to make it greater than our fears, we have to use it! Turn that faith mode ON and fear mode OFF! And that is what we are going to learn today! When you say things like “this is just proof this isn’t for me,” is it based on your own understanding or your trust in the Lord? Is it based on your feeling of discomfort or your confidence in your God? _______________________________________________________Have you been wanting to grow a closer relationship with God but just don’t know where to start?
