OVERCOMING OUR FEARS

OVERCOMING OUR FEARS


FEAR is defined=
“As an UNPLEASANT emotion
Caused by the BELIEF
That someone or something


Is dangerous
Likely to cause pain
Or a THREAT”


SOME of our fears our rational-
But some of our fears
Are COMPLETELY IRRATIONAL


About something that is
NEVER going to happen


Jesus tells us=
“Do NOT let your hearts
Be troubled or afraid” John 14:27


The TRUTH is=that when
We are CLOSE to God=
When we are close to Jesus
We can OVERCOME anything
BOTH real and imagined


It just takes
A little BIT OF FAITH


“'If you can'=said Jesus=
'EVERYTHING is possible
For the ONE who believes'


“Immediately the boy's father exclaimed=
'I DO BELIEVE
Help me OVERCOME
My unbelief'” Mark 9:23-24


“........For everyone BORN of God
OVERCOMES the world


This is the VICTORY
That has OVERCOME
The world=
Even our faith


WHO is it
That overcomes the world?


ONLY the ONE
That believes=that Jesus
IS the SON of God” 1 John 5:4-5


Yes we can OVERCOME everything
Even FEAR=rational or irrational
With OUR FAITH in God
And our faith in Jesus


Take steps to GREATER freedom
Through God and Jesus
By PRAYING to God


And asking him to take=AWAY=
Our useless fears


TURN to others
Whose faith is STRONG
And learn from them


Seek PROFESSIONAL HELP
If you feel it is
Necessary=NO SHAME in that


MOST of all=OPEN YOUR HEARTS
To God and Jesus


To receive the PEACE
That you can RECEIVE
Only through Jesus


“TURN form evil
And do good
SEEK PEACE and pursue it” Psalm 34:14


“Therefore=since we have
Been JUSTIFIED
Through FAITH


We have PEACE with God
THOUGH our Lord Jesus Christ........” Romans 5:1


Put more TRUST in God
HE LOVES YOU=and you
Will FIND


Most of the time
Your fear is UNFOUNDED
Or overestimated


REACH out to the Lord
In FAITH=and OVERCOME your fears


In Jesus' name=and
The name of our HEAVENLY FATHER
