  Speaker 1: on these verses, speak them out loud Isaiah forty one ten.

  Speaker 1: say if, but though you will walk through dark valleys,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: but the promise is His presence in the midst of them.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: To Timothy one seven. For God hath not given us
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and of a sound mind. Quote. This is a crucial
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: truth debilitating fear is not from God. He gives you power, love,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and a sound mind. When fear comes, reject it as
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: not being from your heavenly Father. Two. Replace fear with
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: trust in God's character. Fear often focuses on our own weakness.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Faith focuses on God's strength. Psalm fifty six three. What
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: time I am afraid, I will trust in thee quote
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: This is a simple, powerful model. The feeling of fear
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: may come, but your response can be a deliberate act
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of trust. Proverbs three five to six. Trust in the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: own understanding in all thy ways. Acknowledge Him, and he
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: shall direct thy paths. Quote fear thrives on your own
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: limited understanding. Peace comes when you trust in His unlimited
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: understanding and sovereignty. Isaiah twenty six. Three Thou wilt keep
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: him in perfect peace whose mind has stayed on THEE,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: because he trusteth in THEE. Quote. This is the key
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to perfect peace. You must actively keep your mind stayed fixed, focused,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: leaning on God, not on the source of your fear. Three.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Replace fear with prayer and thanksgiving. This is the practical
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: spiritual discipline that brings God's peace to guard your heart.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Philippians four six to seven. Be careful for nothing, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving. Let your
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: through Christ Jesus. Quote. Be careful here means be anxious.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: The command is to replace anxiety with prayer, specific requests,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and a heart of thanksgiving. The result is a supernatural,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: incomprehensible peace that will guard you a path to walk
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: on when debilitating fear strikes. Try this practical sequence using
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the KJV one. Acknowledge and reject the spirit of fear.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Say out loud in the name of Jesus. I reject
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this spirit of fear, for God has not given me
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a spirit of fear. Based on two Timothy one seven two,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: recite God's promise of presence, declare, I will not fear,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for you are with me. War, you strengthen me, you
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: help me, you uphold me. Isaiah forty one ten free.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Choose to trust. Pray Lord. Right now I am afraid,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: but in this moment, I choose to trust in You,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Psalm fifty six free four. Pray with thanksgiving. Bring your
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: specific fear to God in prayer. Then actively thank Him
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for his character, for being sovereign, for being good, for
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: his past faithfulness Philippians four six to seven five. Fix
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: your mind consciously shift your thoughts from the problem to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: his promises. Read a song, listen to a hymn, or
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: simply repeat a verse like Isaiah twenty six free. A
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: final encouragement, one John four eighteen tells us there is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: perfect in love. Quote. The ultimate answer to fear is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to immerse yourself in the perfect love of God. As
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you understand more deeply how much He loves you, cares
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: for you, and as sovereign over your life. Fear begins
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to lose its power. This is a journey. Be patient
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with yourself. The battle against fear is fought in the mind,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: one thought at a time. By taking every thought captive
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to the obedience of Christ two Corinthians ten five, you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: are not alone in this fight. The Lord is your
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: strength and your shield.
