Download This Message –>> 240705 Walking in the Ways of the Lord Pt 47 – Faith vs Fear Part 1.mp3
Real Faith is at rest, anchored, and steadfast in the absolute Truth of God’s Living Word.
When we have unforgiveness, worry, fear, and strife working in your life we are never at rest.
For us to properly understand Faith, it is necessary for us to understand what Fear is and how it works.
You cannot walk in Faith and Fear, or Love and Fear, at the same time.
Satan cannot do anything to us apart from fear, any more than God can do something for us apart from faith.
1st John 5: 18b… he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. (NKJV)
Love, The Living Word, and Faith are involved in everything that God does.
Fear, worry, deception, and strife are the Satan’s big guns, his big weapons. They are involved in everything that he does.
All fear is self-centered. It always focuses on self. Love is others centered. It always focuses on others.
Whenever our focus is on ourselves rather than others, we have the foundation necessary to produce iniquity and sin. That foundation of iniquity and sin opens the door for fear to function and rule.
Faith moves God because faith is in God. Fear moves Satan because fear is in Satan.
Fear does not come from God. There is no fear in God for God Is Love. Fear comes from Satan for Satan is Fear.
1st John 4: 16… God is love (NKJV)
1st John 4: 18… There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear (NKJV)
Isaiah. 54: 14 – 15 In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. (15) Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. (NKJV)
Love and Fear cannot exist together. They are direct opposites.
2nd Timothy 1: 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (NKJV)
