Recession Part 3 Series

Recession: This is not the Time to Fear

2 Timothy 1:7

Obj: to teach you how to close the door on fear, by strengthening your faith in God and solidifying your confidence in His Word.

Fear is devastating, fear is destructive, fear is distractive, fear is deceitful, and fear is dominating.

*You cannot marry faith until you first divorce fear.

Regardless to whatever situation that you are there are 3 things that we should never compromise.

1. My peace (My confidence in God)

2. My praise (Our fire for God)

3. My position of faith: It is when I say, God I will not be moved no matter what I hear.

*There is something about the word of God that brings contentment, comfort and calm.
