How do we overcome the fear of standing for God?
Matthew 10:1-42
The disciples were told that they would suffer for God.
Why would someone deny God? Opposite of fear is faith.
Romans 1:16-17
As you stand for Christ like Paul your faith will grow stronger. Stand when it is time to stand. Verse 17- The just shall live by faith.
Romans 5:1-5
The just shall live by faith. You have to access the power of God. God’s is waiting for you to call out to him so he can give you power to live right. Standing for God will build you up with patience. Just because you are associated with Christ does not mean that you have experienced God. The hope that experience gives you maketh you unashamed.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
The natural state that seeks its own has to go.
Romans 6:3-20
Verse 4- we should walk in the newness of life and not seek our own.
Self-seeking and self-protecting person is completely changed.
When you don’t stand you get weaker and weaker.
Romans 7:24-25
God can give you power to live right and deliver you from the state that you are in.
Romans 8:1-18
When you don’t seek your own you can seek the spirit of God. A spiritually minded person has life and peace- They have pep in their step. The seek your own mind is at war with the Lord.
Luke 11:9-13
You have to ask God for what you need. You can become the child of God. The sufferings are worth living for the children of God.
