There has been fake trust with people acting something they didn’t actually have thinking that it would force God to do something.
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
There is no fear in love. On the contrary, love that has achieved its goal gets rid of fear, because fear has to do with punishment; the person who keeps fearing has not been brought to maturity in regard to love.
We ourselves love now because he loved us first.
Declare war on fear, don’t manage fear, root it out and destroy it. A little leaven leavens the whole lump...
I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
Faith to sleep through the night
He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler’s house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.
And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
Do not let grace and truth leave you—
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
I shall not die, but I shall live,
and recount the deeds of the Lord.
But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart one goes on trusting and thus continues toward righteousness, while with the mouth one keeps on making public acknowledgement and thus continues toward deliverance.
When you have received the WORD from the Father on the situation refuse to play the “what if” game
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Doubt in your head but not not in your heart.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
My Identity is in “Whose” I am not “who” I am
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
He wasn’t afraid of death, punishment, anger. He was afraid because he was naked. He became “Self”-conscious.
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.
