My Message is entitled:
Healthy and Unhealthy Fear
Scripture:
Supplemental Scripture - 1 John 4:18, Romans 8:11
Introduction
Has anyone here today ever been scared?
Has anyone ever been literally - paralyzed by fear - unable to take another step?
As a young boy I was playing in the water at the beach, and a large wave came in and took me far from the shore.
I still remember the paralyzing fear I felt being so far away from the shore.
Not knowing how to swim I thought that was the end of the road for me.
Then, just like the wave that had taken me out, it brought me back in and dumped me on the shore.
Needless to say, I didn't go back in the water that day, and even today, I still have a healthy fear of water.
Well, today we begin a 4-week series called Fear Not.
Surprisingly, fear is something the bible has an awful lot to say about.
In fact, the command, fear not appears in one form or another 365 times from Genesis to Revelation.
It is specifically given to dozens of different individuals and/or groups in a variety of circumstances.
It’s abundantly clear that God doesn’t want His people to fear in the face of adversity or decision.
To put it another way, we’ve been given a different, fear not, exhortation for every single day of the year.
So why do we so often respond in fear?
What can we do about this, and is there a better way?
I. Let’s Get Started
We begin our Fear Not series with an exploration of Paul’s advice to Timothy in his second letter to the young pastor.
Paul’s encouragement is this, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
If fear doesn’t come from God, then where does it come from?
I thought that the beginning of wisdom starts with the fear of the Lord, so what does that mean?
What’s the difference?
One important difference to recognize is that there is both a healthy and an unhealthy fear.
Understanding the difference could save your life, and it will definitely help you interpret God’s daily encouragement to Fear Not.
healthy fear.
II.
Healthy Fear
Healthy fear can literally save your life.
Let’s pretend for a moment that you’re hiking in the woods and you stumble upon a momma bear and her three cubs.
In a situation like this would you stop and share a few Bible verses with the Bears and keep walking, or should you slowly back away, turn and run as fast as you can in the opposite direction?
Healthy fear can heighten and sharpen your senses, which in many situations is a great benefit.
I believe we all have that fight or flight mechanism built in us, should we run into a mama bear and her three cubs.
Whether you call it fear, or maybe just common sense, there is a healthy fear in life that can be a beneficial thing to recognize.
Personally I have a healthy fear of grizzly bears, these killing machines not only run faster then you can, but they climb trees.
They can split your body in half, in a matter of seconds.
Another healthy fear pastor has, is the IRS.
You don't want to have anything to do with the internal revenue service.
They do not play.
They will hunt you down and take everything you have to collect Debt.
Do not mess with the IRS.
It’s also important to note that as followers of Christ, a healthy fear of the Lord is not only beneficial, it’s biblical.
Let’s look at a few verses here to frame the idea;
The Hebrew word here also means reverence, which is important as we consider a healthy posture towards the Lord.
It is good and right to hold Him in a place of awe and reverence.
As the creator and sustainer of the entire cosmos He is the rightful owner of this uniquely divine place.
To ascribe to Him something less is a theological misstep that none of us wants to make.
In Psalm 5:7 David says, “...in reverence I will bow down…” In Proverbs 9:10 Solomon adds that, “... the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
David had a healthy fear of the Lord throughout his life and Solomon knew the fear of the Lord was the beginning of both knowledge and wisdom.
Divine reverence brings godly understanding, what an amazing gift! both knowledge and Wisdom given to Solomon and us!
As we move now to discuss unhealthy fear, make a note that it’s proper place is in the hands of this same almighty God, who has given us strength through his son Jesus to be free from the grip of unrighteous fear.
We’ll talk more about this next week, but first let’s take a look at unhealthy fear.
III.
Unhealthy Fear
Unhealthy fear can paralyze and stagnate you, and this is not God’s heart for you.
