2: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

A) GOD DID NOT WANT US TO LIVE IN WORRY

B) GOD DOES NOT WANT US TO HAVE ANXIETY

C) HE DOES WANT US TO REVERENCE HIM

D) BUT GOD DOES NOT WANT US TO BE SCARED INTO SUBMISSION

POINT: GOD IS LOVE, GOD IS NOT FEAR, AND THERE ARE MANY THINGS ABOUT GOD THAT WOULD MAKE ONE AFRAID. BUT THE HEAVENLY FATHER DID NOT PLACE THE FEAR WE EXPERIENCE IN OUR HEARTS WHEN WE FEEL HIS CALL.

GOD GIVES US SPIRIT OF LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HELP THOSE WHO FEEL UNLOVED THOSE WHO FEEL ALONE AND ABUSED.

3: SOUND MIND

CONCLUSION: BE NOT ASHAMED

1: THOSE WHO LIVE GODLY SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION.

A) FEAR NOT 365 TIMES IN THE BIBLE

B) FEAR BRINGS SHAME

POINT: COULD’VE SHOULD’VE WOULD’VE I WAS AFRAID AT THE TIME SO I DIDN’T, NOW I KNOW WHAT I MISSED. SATAN WILL USE FEAR TO LATER TRY AND TRAP US WITH SHAME.

WHAT WE HAVE WAS GIVEN TO US BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN IN JESUS CHRIST V 9

FEAR AND SHAME HAVE A PLACE BUT GOD HAS GIVEN TO US MUCH MORE, THE POWER THE LOVE AND THE MIND OF HIS DEAR SON JESUS.
