\nThank you for joining us this <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:23,080 –> 00:00:26,240
\nhelp us get the Bible in our
\nDaily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,560 –> 00:00:28,520
\nWe post a new episode at the
\nstart of each week. <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:28,950 –> 00:00:31,550
\nWith the short intro beforehand
\nto kind of set the stage for the<\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,550 –> 00:00:35,470
\ntalk you’re about to listen to.
\nAnd now, let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:35,470 –> 00:00:52,350
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHello and welcome back for this <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:52,350 –> 00:00:53,510
\nweek.
\nWe’re listening to an <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:53,510 –> 00:00:56,190
\nexhortation that Brother Jason
\nHensley gave in. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:56,700 –> 00:01:00,020
\nFebruary of 2020 at the Simi
\nHills Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:00,620 –> 00:01:03,540
\nThe exhortation is entitled
\nOvercoming Fear. <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:03,980 –> 00:01:07,780
\nAnd what I appreciate about this
\none, it was a suggestion that we<\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:08,220 –> 00:01:12,580
\nactually got sent in fairly
\nrecently, but it’s from, like I <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:12,580 –> 00:01:14,980
\nmentioned from 2020.
\nSome interesting context is that<\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:14,980 –> 00:01:19,140
\nthis exhortation was given on
\nthe 16th of February in 2020, so<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:19,140 –> 00:01:23,700
\nthat for the United States was.
\nJust a few weeks before kind of <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:23,700 –> 00:01:27,220
\nall the major lockdowns happened
\naround COVID-19. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:27,660 –> 00:01:30,500
\nAnd it makes the overall concept
\nof overcoming fear that Brother <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:30,500 –> 00:01:34,580
\nJason is looking at to be a
\ninteresting one to look at. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:34,580 –> 00:01:36,580
\nAnd he’s not.
\nHe’s not talking about the <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:36,580 –> 00:01:39,420
\nreally big serious fears and
\nmental health issues that people<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:39,420 –> 00:01:42,500
\nsometimes would struggle with,
\nbut he’s talking about the <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:42,500 –> 00:01:45,300
\nlittle doubts and
\ninconsistencies that we can feel<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:45,300 –> 00:01:49,260
\nin ourselves and how that should
\nbe approached and how we should <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:49,260 –> 00:01:51,500
\nhave faced that.
\nAnd I feel like. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:52,430 –> 00:01:56,670
\nNot knowing what was coming when
\nhe gave this excitation actually<\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:56,670 –> 00:01:59,590
\nmakes the advice even more
\npowerful in a way, because it’s <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:59,590 –> 00:02:03,190
\nsome of the guidance and things
\nthat I remember feeling. <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:03,750 –> 00:02:05,910
\nAnd it was one of those.
\nI didn’t hear this excitation <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:05,910 –> 00:02:08,030
\nwhen he gave it live, obviously.
\nSo it was one of those. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:08,830 –> 00:02:11,950
\nI kind of wish it had been fresh
\nin my mind when all of that was <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:11,950 –> 00:02:14,590
\ngoing on in the fear and
\nuncertainty that everyone was <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:14,590 –> 00:02:17,320
\nhaving so.
\nI found it to be a really <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:17,320 –> 00:02:20,320
\nencouraging exhortation, one
\nthat’s a good reminder of when <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:20,320 –> 00:02:22,680
\nwe’re feeling uncertain and how
\nwe’re supposed to approach that.<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:23,600 –> 00:02:26,120
\nSo thank you to the person who
\nsent this in as a <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:26,120 –> 00:02:28,560
\nrecommendation.
\nI hope you find it to be as <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:28,560 –> 00:02:32,000
\nencouraging as I do.
\nAs always, we always appreciate <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:32,040 –> 00:02:35,120
\nand encourage any suggestions or
\nrecommendations that you might <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:35,120 –> 00:02:39,400
\nhear from wherever they may be
\ncoming from, feel free to send <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:39,400 –> 00:02:42,600
\nthem in on the website or on
\nsocial media. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:43,430 –> 00:02:46,230
\nAnd with that, I will turn it
\nover to brother Jason for his <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:46,230 –> 00:02:48,510
\nexhortation entitled Overcoming
\nFear. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:49,110 –> 00:02:55,430
\nGood morning, everyone.
\nSo the exhortation today is a <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:55,430 –> 00:02:57,950
\nlittle bit kind of coming out of
\nan odd place. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:58,070 –> 00:03:01,750
\nI guess I should tell you why
\nI’m talking about what I’m <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:01,750 –> 00:03:05,430
\ntalking about.
\nUsually I like to look at the <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:05,430 –> 00:03:07,910
\nreadings and try and come up
\nwith something that’s coming <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:07,910 –> 00:03:09,430
\nfrom the readings.
\nThat’s not what we’re doing this<\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:09,430 –> 00:03:11,350
\ntime, as you may have noticed
\nthat we read John 12. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:12,740 –> 00:03:17,220
\nThis actually happens what we’re
\ntalking about today because of <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:18,660 –> 00:03:21,460
\nan event that took place a few
\nweeks ago. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:22,100 –> 00:03:27,260
\nSo I was driving along the 405,
\nI drive an older car to 2001 and<\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:27,460 –> 00:03:31,020
\nmy car just died as I was
\ndriving on the 405, which I’m <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:31,020 –> 00:03:32,620
\nsure a lot of you have
\nexperienced that before. <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:33,100 –> 00:03:34,580
\nI have not.
\nSo. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:34,900 –> 00:03:37,700
\nSo I was driving and I thought,
\nwow, my car’s not doing <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:37,700 –> 00:03:38,940
\nanything.
\nThis feels very strange. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:39,220 –> 00:03:41,540
\nAnd then I realized.
\nThe engine wasn’t running and <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:41,540 –> 00:03:45,420
\nthat was why.
\nSo since that point, when <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:45,420 –> 00:03:50,580
\ndriving down to downtown LA, I
\nhave thought, wow, I sure hope <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:50,580 –> 00:03:53,140
\nmy car doesn’t die.
\nShould I think, you know, that’s<\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:53,140 –> 00:03:56,980
\nlike a reasonable thing to think
\nand it hasn’t so far, which is <\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:56,980 –> 00:04:00,740
\ngood.
\nBut subsequently every time now <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:00,740 –> 00:04:03,680
\nthat I get into the car.
\nI’m always looking at all the <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:03,680 –> 00:04:06,800
\ngauges, you know, my hands
\nsweating and I’m thinking, you <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:06,800 –> 00:04:09,120
\nknow, like what’s going to
\nhappen, right? <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:09,120 –> 00:04:12,600
\nLike that you just, that’s how
\nit works sometimes. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:12,600 –> 00:04:15,440
\nAnd so as I started to get ready
\nfor the exhortation, I started <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:15,440 –> 00:04:20,720
\nto think, wow, you know, this is
\nsilly that I’m having this <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:20,720 –> 00:04:23,240
\nreaction.
\nI think it’s an understandable <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:23,240 –> 00:04:25,720
\nreaction, but it got me thinking
\nabout fear. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:29,560
\nAnd I know that we’ve had talks
\nabout fear lately. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:32,030 –> 00:04:37,070
\nBut it was on my mind a lot.
\nSo that’s that’s why we’re going<\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:37,070 –> 00:04:42,310
\nto talk about it again.
\nWhat we’re going to do today is <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:42,310 –> 00:04:46,830
\nfirst I want to look at the
\nfirst instance of fear in <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:46,830 –> 00:04:49,230
\nscripture and then sort of the
\nlast instance. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:50,070 –> 00:04:53,510
\nAnd then I have a suggestion.
\nObviously, I’ve just told you <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:53,510 –> 00:04:56,590
\nthat I’m working through fear.
\nSo you know, I’m not coming up <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:56,590 –> 00:04:59,910
\nhere as like the guy who knows
\nhow to fix fear problems, right?<\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:00,230 –> 00:05:03,070
\nBut.
\nThis is my suggestion I think on<\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:03,070 –> 00:05:09,150
\nhow to work through them.
\nSo it’s a two step process and <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:09,150 –> 00:05:12,590
\nhopefully you find it helpful.
\nSo if you come with me to <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:12,590 –> 00:05:16,270
\nGenesis chapter three, I think
\nthis is the first place that we <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:16,270 –> 00:05:20,670
\nsee fear.
\nSo this creates an interesting <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:20,670 –> 00:05:24,270
\nquestion.
\nI want you to look for as we <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:24,270 –> 00:05:28,910
\nread Genesis 3, look for fears,
\nassociations. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:29,360 –> 00:05:33,360
\nSo what is fear connected to in
\nGenesis 3? <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:34,160 –> 00:05:36,120
\nSo we’ve just had the serpent
\nspeaking to Eve. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:37,160 –> 00:05:40,560
\nEve has taken the forbidden
\nfruit, so has Adam. <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:40,560 –> 00:05:46,040
\nAnd it says listen for fears,
\nassociations, it says starting <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:46,040 –> 00:05:51,280
\nin verse 8, Genesis 3, verse 8
\nsays And they heard the sound of<\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:51,280 –> 00:05:53,760
\nthe Lord God walking in the
\ngarden in the cool of the day. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:54,590 –> 00:05:56,590
\nAnd the man and his wife hid
\nthemselves from the presence of <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:56,590 –> 00:05:59,310
\nthe Lord God among the trees of
\nthe garden. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:00,430 –> 00:06:02,870
\nBut the Lord God called to the
\nman and said to him, where are <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:02,870 –> 00:06:07,270
\nyou?
\nAnd he said, I heard the sound <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:07,270 –> 00:06:11,510
\nof you in the garden, because I
\nwas afraid, because I was naked,<\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:12,230 –> 00:06:16,430
\nand I hid myself.
\nSo you see the association there<\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:16,870 –> 00:06:19,590
\nwith fear.
\nAnd he says very specifically. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:21,110 –> 00:06:24,360
\nI hid because I was afraid.
\nBecause I was naked. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:25,120 –> 00:06:27,560
\nRight.
\nSo you get this idea that he was<\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:27,560 –> 00:06:35,040
\nafraid because he was naked.
\nNow that’s interesting because <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:35,040 –> 00:06:36,120
\nhow did he know that he was
\nnaked? <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:37,400 –> 00:06:39,800
\nWell, it was because that
\nsinned. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:40,200 –> 00:06:42,800
\nThey took the fruit from the
\ntree of knowledge of good and <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:42,800 –> 00:06:44,760
\nevil, and it says their eyes
\nwere open and they realized that<\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:44,760 –> 00:06:47,040
\nthey were both naked.
\nAnd so I think what you have <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:47,040 –> 00:06:50,700
\nthat’s interesting.
\nIs there is suddenly the 1st <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:50,700 –> 00:06:54,180
\nplace that fear ever appears.
\nThere is this connection between<\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:54,180 –> 00:06:56,980
\nfear and sin.
\nNow I’m not saying that you know<\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:56,980 –> 00:07:00,140
\nwhen I sit in my car and my
\nhands like shaking on the the <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:00,420 –> 00:07:03,620
\nshifter that that’s not like you
\nknow that’s a sin. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:04,660 –> 00:07:08,340
\nBut I think it’s important to
\nnote that there is an <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:08,340 –> 00:07:13,980
\nassociation between the two that
\nfear seems to exist here because<\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:13,980 –> 00:07:15,820
\nsin exists.
\nThat makes sense. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:17,760 –> 00:07:21,520
\nSo that’s the first place.
\nSo then I think that more or <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:21,520 –> 00:07:23,960
\nless should prompt us to ask a
\nquestion to say, well, if that’s<\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:23,960 –> 00:07:27,040
\nthe first place that sin appears
\nor that fear appears and it <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:27,040 –> 00:07:31,440
\nseems to be associated with sin,
\nthen was there any fear before <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:31,440 –> 00:07:36,840
\nsin you can think about that?
\nIt doesn’t say sorry for <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:36,840 –> 00:07:41,280
\nintroducing a question without
\nan answer, but I think it’s good<\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:41,280 –> 00:07:44,980
\nto ask these kind of questions.
\nNow, as far as the last time <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:44,980 –> 00:07:48,140
\nthat it shows up, come over to
\nMica chapter 4. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:49,020 –> 00:07:53,820
\nNow, clearly Fear and Being
\nAfraid shows up later in the <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:53,820 –> 00:08:01,980
\nBible, but Mica 4 is a prophecy
\nabout the end time, and here’s <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:01,980 –> 00:08:06,660
\nwhat it says.
\nMica Chapter 4. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:09,700 –> 00:08:11,380
\nThis is a time of
\ntransformation. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:12,860 –> 00:08:16,220
\nYou have verse one and mica 4
\nwhere God’s house is being <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:16,220 –> 00:08:19,060
\nestablished above all the other
\nhills. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:19,860 –> 00:08:22,300
\nVerse two nations are coming and
\nthey want to come and worship <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:22,300 –> 00:08:24,500
\nGod.
\nThis is a prophecy of the time <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:24,500 –> 00:08:28,020
\nof the Kingdom and you know we
\nlove verse 3 where it talks <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:28,020 –> 00:08:30,540
\nabout they’ll beat their swords
\nand the plowshares, their Spears<\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:30,540 –> 00:08:33,539
\nand the pruning hooks.
\nSo you have this this picture of<\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:33,539 –> 00:08:37,179
\nno more war, no more violence.
\nAnd so in that context, notice <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:37,179 –> 00:08:41,059
\nverse four.
\nIt says in verse 4 but they <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:41,059 –> 00:08:44,940
\nshall sit.
\nEvery man under his vine and <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:44,940 –> 00:08:51,140
\nunder his fig tree, and no one
\nshall make them afraid, for the <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:51,140 –> 00:08:52,780
\nmouth of the Lord of Hosts has
\nspoken. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:53,860 –> 00:08:57,340
\nAnd so I think we can probably
\nsay that it would seem that in <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:57,340 –> 00:09:01,900
\nthe Kingdom of God you have this
\npicture in which fear is gone, <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:03,220 –> 00:09:06,380
\nfear is taken away.
\nAnd I mean, we don’t think about<\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:06,380 –> 00:09:07,740
\nthis a lot.
\nAt least I didn’t. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:08,750 –> 00:09:11,630
\nThat doesn’t really sound like
\nall that awesome of a picture of<\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:11,630 –> 00:09:14,470
\nthe Kingdom, you know, if there
\nis fear and Can you imagine that<\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:14,470 –> 00:09:17,230
\nlike, wow, I’m immortal, but I’m
\nscared all the time, right? <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:17,230 –> 00:09:18,790
\nLike that.
\nThat would just be really a <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:18,790 –> 00:09:21,270
\nbummer, right?
\nLike said. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:21,510 –> 00:09:25,390
\nSo I think we get this picture
\nof a time without fear in the <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:25,390 –> 00:09:28,270
\nKingdom of God.
\nThe reason that’s interesting is<\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:28,270 –> 00:09:33,390
\nas you go throughout the
\nGospels, I think what we see is <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:33,390 –> 00:09:37,510
\nthe Lord Jesus attempting to
\ncreate a time. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:38,460 –> 00:09:43,300
\nIn which he and his disciples
\nlived in the Kingdom of God at <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:43,300 –> 00:09:46,060
\nthat moment.
\nHere’s what I mean by that. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:46,340 –> 00:09:49,420
\nYou remember that as the Lord
\nJesus preached from city to <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:49,420 –> 00:09:50,660
\ncity, do you remember what he
\nsaid? <\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:52,020 –> 00:09:58,020
\nHe said repent, for the Kingdom
\nof heaven is at hand. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:58,020 –> 00:09:59,580
\nBut that’s what he would tell
\neverybody. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:09:59,580 –> 00:10:02,220
\nAnd when he sent his disciples
\nout, that’s what he told them to<\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:02,220 –> 00:10:04,420
\nsay.
\nSo disciples would say repent, <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:04,420 –> 00:10:05,860
\nfor the Kingdom of heaven is at
\nhand. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:06,180 –> 00:10:09,100
\nAnd now if we’re taking that,
\nyou know, literally the Kingdom <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:09,380 –> 00:10:12,780
\nof heaven, like, for real, well,
\nwe have a problem because it <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:12,900 –> 00:10:15,020
\nreally wasn’t at hand, right?
\nIt wasn’t. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:16,460 –> 00:10:19,780
\nWe’re 2000 years later.
\nAnd so I think that what you get<\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:19,780 –> 00:10:27,380
\nis what Jesus was really saying
\nwas I’m here giving you an <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:27,380 –> 00:10:30,180
\nexperience of the Kingdom.
\nYou know, when when you were <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:30,180 –> 00:10:33,180
\nwith the Lord Jesus, it was
\nlike, in a sense, it was like <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:33,300 –> 00:10:34,460
\nyou were in the Kingdom of God,
\nright? <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:34,460 –> 00:10:35,820
\nYou were sick.
\nWell, you weren’t anymore. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:36,710 –> 00:10:40,190
\nYou know, all your problems
\ncould be solved by the Lord. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:41,070 –> 00:10:44,030
\nAnd so he says that the Kingdom
\nis at hand because in him it <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:44,030 –> 00:10:47,590
\nwas.
\nIn fact he says that if you can <\/p>\n

177
\n00:10:47,590 –> 00:10:49,590
\ngo to the reference, I’m not
\ngoing to turn it up, but it’s <\/p>\n

178
\n00:10:49,590 –> 00:10:51,550
\nLuke Chapter 11 and it’s verse
\n20. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:10:52,310 –> 00:10:56,670
\nIt’s Luke 11\/20.
\nHe says he’s casting out demons <\/p>\n

180
\n00:10:56,670 –> 00:10:59,150
\nwith a finger.
\nHe says. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:10:59,150 –> 00:11:02,710
\nIf I cast that demon with a
\nfinger of God, then Kingdom. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:06,050 –> 00:11:08,650
\nAnd so that’s really the picture
\nhe’s saying in me. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:08,650 –> 00:11:11,090
\nThe Kingdom of God is here.
\nAnd I think that’s the example <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:11,090 –> 00:11:16,090
\nfor us, that it wasn’t just the
\nLord Jesus who was supposed to <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:16,090 –> 00:11:20,010
\nlive in the Kingdom every day,
\nbut he wanted his disciples to <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:20,010 –> 00:11:21,970
\ndo the same thing.
\nThat’s why even when they <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:21,970 –> 00:11:25,890
\nweren’t with him, they said to
\npeople the Kingdom of heaven is <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:25,890 –> 00:11:29,690
\nat hand, because in them people
\nwere to experience the same <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:29,690 –> 00:11:34,730
\nthing.
\nSo fear enters. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:35,830 –> 00:11:40,070
\nWhen sin enters, fear is taken
\naway. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:41,230 –> 00:11:46,470
\nWhen sin is taken away in the
\nKingdom of God, and we are to <\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:46,470 –> 00:11:50,910
\nLive Today as though we are in
\nthe Kingdom of God, that’s the <\/p>\n

193
\n00:11:50,910 –> 00:11:53,950
\nideal, right?
\nSo I think we can put that <\/p>\n

194
\n00:11:53,950 –> 00:12:00,470
\ntogether and say, well,
\ntherefore we should attempt to <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:00,470 –> 00:12:05,110
\nlive lives without fear.
\nAnd that’s lofty, right? <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:06,480 –> 00:12:09,600
\nSo the question then becomes,
\nOK, if that’s the goal, living a<\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:09,600 –> 00:12:11,800
\nlife without fear, then how do
\nyou do it? <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:12,680 –> 00:12:17,800
\nHow do we do that?
\nNow here is the two step process<\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:18,160 –> 00:12:22,640
\nthat I made-up.
\nYou can see if this works for <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:22,640 –> 00:12:25,480
\nyou and I think it’s biblical.
\nSo I think this is a 2 step <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:25,480 –> 00:12:29,120
\nbiblical process, but I mean,
\nthis is my own model and you <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:29,120 –> 00:12:33,400
\nknow, I’m not a psychiatrist or
\nanything like that, but let’s <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:33,400 –> 00:12:38,160
\nsee how this goes.
\nI think when we think about our <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:38,160 –> 00:12:42,240
\nfears and you ask yourself,
\nwhere do my fears come from? <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:42,320 –> 00:12:47,000
\nI know that, at least for me, a
\nlot of my fears stem from <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:47,000 –> 00:12:49,840
\nanxiety.
\nYou know, you’re you’re afraid <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:49,840 –> 00:12:52,240
\nof something that’s going to
\nhappen, right? <\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:52,240 –> 00:12:55,360
\nIt it probably won’t actually
\nhappen, but you’re afraid that <\/p>\n

209
\n00:12:55,360 –> 00:12:57,280
\nit will.
\nSo you you feel anxious and <\/p>\n

210
\n00:12:57,280 –> 00:13:01,440
\nworried over that.
\nAnd I think scripture is pretty <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:01,440 –> 00:13:03,960
\nclear about worry.
\nLet’s just take a look at a <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:03,960 –> 00:13:06,850
\ncouple of these.
\nBecause they tell us about how <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:06,850 –> 00:13:09,210
\nGod feels on worry and what we
\nshould do about it. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:09,210 –> 00:13:10,930
\nSo let’s go to Matthew Chapter
\n6. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:12,530 –> 00:13:17,210
\nThis is a passage that in which
\nthe Lord Jesus talks to us about<\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:17,210 –> 00:13:18,530
\nworry.
\nWe’re going to go into it a <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:18,530 –> 00:13:21,610
\nlittle deeper.
\nIt’s Matthew Chapter 6. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:21,650 –> 00:13:30,930
\nIt’s a sermon on the mount, and
\nperhaps you’ll recognize the <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:30,930 –> 00:13:33,570
\nwords Matthew 6.
\nWe’re going to start at verse <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:33,570 –> 00:13:37,360
\n25.
\nSo you’ll notice that he talks <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:37,360 –> 00:13:42,000
\nabout anxiety over and over
\nhere, and he gives us a <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:42,000 –> 00:13:45,680
\nsolution, Matthew Sixers, 25,
\nsays. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:45,720 –> 00:13:48,640
\nTherefore, I tell you, do not be
\nanxious about your life, what <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:48,640 –> 00:13:51,400
\nyou will eat or what you will
\ndrink, nor about your body, what<\/p>\n

225
\n00:13:51,560 –> 00:13:54,560
\nyou will put on.
\nIt’s not life more than food and<\/p>\n

226
\n00:13:54,560 –> 00:13:57,200
\nthe body more than clothing.
\nLook at the birds of the air. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:13:58,080 –> 00:14:00,520
\nThey need their sew, nor reap,
\nnor gather into barns. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:00,520 –> 00:14:03,880
\nAnd your your Heavenly Father
\nfeeds them, are you not? <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:04,400 –> 00:14:07,960
\nOf more value than they?
\nAnd which of you, by being <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:07,960 –> 00:14:10,080
\nanxious, can add a single hour
\nto his span of life? <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:10,280 –> 00:14:11,680
\nWhy are you anxious about
\nclothing? <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:11,920 –> 00:14:14,480
\nAnd so he goes on.
\nSo I you know, he makes it <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:14,480 –> 00:14:17,160
\npretty clear here that we’re
\nsupposed to take anxiety out of <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:17,160 –> 00:14:20,280
\nour lives.
\nDid you notice, however, what <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:20,280 –> 00:14:26,520
\nhis solution is for that?
\nHe says the solution to anxiety <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:26,520 –> 00:14:29,560
\nis to know.
\nWell, look at the birds. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:31,320 –> 00:14:32,600
\nThey don’t sow.
\nThey don’t reap, They don’t <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:32,600 –> 00:14:34,870
\ngather into barns.
\nYeah, God takes care of them. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:34,870 –> 00:14:40,190
\nNow, I think sometimes we get
\npretty familiar with these words<\/p>\n

240
\n00:14:40,710 –> 00:14:42,950
\nand we say, OK, yeah, God takes
\ncare of the birds. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:14:43,270 –> 00:14:46,510
\nHave you ever stopped to really
\nkind of think about that? <\/p>\n

242
\n00:14:50,310 –> 00:14:53,710
\nI know that for me, when I
\nstopped to think about it, that <\/p>\n

243
\n00:14:53,710 –> 00:14:55,830
\nactually made the whole verse
\nworse for me. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:14:56,750 –> 00:14:59,110
\nAnd, you know, sometimes it goes
\nthat way, right? <\/p>\n

245
\n00:14:59,110 –> 00:15:02,110
\nBecause Jesus says, well, look
\nat the birds, you know. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:03,470 –> 00:15:06,310
\nGod takes care of them.
\nAnd I have to tell you, this <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:06,310 –> 00:15:09,270
\nreminds me, every time I read
\nthis, it reminds me of when I <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:09,270 –> 00:15:12,630
\nwas 13 years old and a group of
\nus had little BB guns. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:12,630 –> 00:15:13,990
\nAnd we thought, you know, we
\nwere so cool. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:14,270 –> 00:15:17,830
\nAnd we were, we were out down in
\nRamona, and we saw a little bird<\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:17,830 –> 00:15:19,230
\non a fence.
\nAnd we were like, oh, shoot the <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:19,230 –> 00:15:20,630
\nbird.
\nThat would be cool, you know, <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:20,630 –> 00:15:23,710
\nwhen you’re 13.
\nSo we all shot this little bird <\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:23,710 –> 00:15:25,670
\nand it died.
\nAnd then we couldn’t, like, we <\/p>\n

255
\n00:15:25,670 –> 00:15:27,550
\ncouldn’t handle it because none
\nof us had ever shot anything <\/p>\n

256
\n00:15:27,550 –> 00:15:29,430
\nbefore.
\nIt was, it was, you know, a <\/p>\n

257
\n00:15:29,430 –> 00:15:32,310
\nlittle teeny cute black one.
\nI still remember so. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:15:33,600 –> 00:15:35,160
\nAnd like, we couldn’t handle it,
\nso we buried it. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:15:35,200 –> 00:15:40,800
\nAnd we were sad.
\nBut I read this verse, Your <\/p>\n

260
\n00:15:40,800 –> 00:15:43,240
\nheavenly Father feeds the birds.
\nAnd I think, yeah. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:15:43,240 –> 00:15:46,120
\nAnd I killed them, right?
\nLike, you know, that’s not very <\/p>\n

262
\n00:15:46,120 –> 00:15:49,240
\ngood.
\nBut but like, you look at that <\/p>\n

263
\n00:15:49,240 –> 00:15:52,960
\nand you think, well, how does
\nthat comfort us? <\/p>\n

264
\n00:15:55,240 –> 00:15:58,880
\nBut I think it does.
\nIf you come over to Luke, <\/p>\n

265
\n00:15:58,880 –> 00:16:02,160
\nchapter 12, Jesus says the same
\nthing again. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:03,150 –> 00:16:09,310
\nBut he gives us a little, he
\nsays a few different words here <\/p>\n

267
\n00:16:09,310 –> 00:16:12,990
\nthat I think show us really what
\nit was that he was saying and <\/p>\n

268
\n00:16:12,990 –> 00:16:14,990
\nthat he wasn’t just saying,
\nwell, God will always feed the <\/p>\n

269
\n00:16:14,990 –> 00:16:17,350
\nbirds all of the time.
\nAnd you know, everything. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:16:17,350 –> 00:16:19,070
\nFor little birds, lives is just
\nwonderful. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:16:20,110 –> 00:16:24,830
\nSo if you look at Luke chapter
\n12, look again for the birds <\/p>\n

272
\n00:16:24,910 –> 00:16:29,230
\nstarting at verse 7.
\nLuke 12 sorry at verse 4. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:16:29,870 –> 00:16:31,790
\nLuke 12 verse four, listen for
\nthe birds. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:16:33,440 –> 00:16:35,800
\nI tell you, my friends, do not
\nfear those who kill the body, <\/p>\n

275
\n00:16:35,800 –> 00:16:37,800
\nand after that have nothing more
\nthat they can do. <\/p>\n

276
\n00:16:38,200 –> 00:16:42,120
\nI will warn you whom to fear.
\nFear him, whom, after he has <\/p>\n

277
\n00:16:42,120 –> 00:16:43,840
\nkilled, has authority to cast in
\nhell. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:16:44,000 –> 00:16:47,960
\nYes, I tell you, fear him.
\nAre not five sparrows sold for <\/p>\n

279
\n00:16:47,960 –> 00:16:51,560
\ntwo pennies, and not one of them
\nis forgotten before God? <\/p>\n

280
\n00:16:51,720 –> 00:16:55,160
\nWhy even the hairs of your head
\nare all numbered. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:16:55,520 –> 00:16:57,640
\nFear not.
\nYou are of more value than many <\/p>\n

282
\n00:16:57,640 –> 00:17:00,000
\nsparrows.
\nDo you see what the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

283
\n00:17:00,000 –> 00:17:01,360
\nsaid here?
\nThat’s different than what was <\/p>\n

284
\n00:17:01,360 –> 00:17:06,079
\nsaid in Matthew and Matthew?
\nHe says God feeds the birds, <\/p>\n

285
\n00:17:06,400 –> 00:17:08,240
\nright?
\nSo don’t be afraid. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:17:08,240 –> 00:17:10,640
\nHe takes care of the birds.
\nAnd Luke. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:17:10,640 –> 00:17:13,240
\nHe elaborates on that though,
\nand he doesn’t necessarily say <\/p>\n

288
\n00:17:13,440 –> 00:17:15,160
\nthat God takes care of the
\nbirds. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:17:18,960 –> 00:17:23,359
\nInstead, he says, not one of
\nthem is forgotten. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:17:24,880 –> 00:17:26,920
\nI think that’s a really
\nimportant distinction to kind of<\/p>\n

291
\n00:17:26,920 –> 00:17:28,920
\noverlay on top of what Christ
\nsays. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:17:28,920 –> 00:17:32,160
\nIn Matthew 6, Christ was not
\nsaying, you know, no birds ever <\/p>\n

293
\n00:17:32,160 –> 00:17:34,560
\ndie, right?
\nYou should have wished that you <\/p>\n

294
\n00:17:34,560 –> 00:17:36,800
\nwere a bird.
\nThat’s not what’s going on. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:17:36,800 –> 00:17:42,320
\nInstead, he’s saying here in
\nLuke chapter 12, that God knows <\/p>\n

296
\n00:17:42,560 –> 00:17:46,080
\neverything that’s happening.
\nAnd so you even see those silly <\/p>\n

297
\n00:17:46,080 –> 00:17:48,080
\nlittle black birds that bounce
\naround, right? <\/p>\n

298
\n00:17:48,080 –> 00:17:50,320
\nHe says God knows what everyone,
\nthose little blackbirds, is <\/p>\n

299
\n00:17:50,320 –> 00:17:53,000
\ndoing.
\nGod doesn’t forget any of them. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:17:54,910 –> 00:17:57,230
\nIn fact, God knows how many
\nhairs you have. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:17:57,230 –> 00:17:58,910
\nHe knows about the one that fell
\noff this morning, right? <\/p>\n

302
\n00:17:58,910 –> 00:18:01,150
\nLike that’s he.
\nHe knows about all of those <\/p>\n

303
\n00:18:01,150 –> 00:18:05,430
\nthings.
\nAnd so, because he knows that, <\/p>\n

304
\n00:18:07,390 –> 00:18:10,270
\nyou don’t need to worry.
\nYou don’t need to be anxious, <\/p>\n

305
\n00:18:11,110 –> 00:18:18,190
\nbecause if something happens to
\nyou, God allowed that to happen.<\/p>\n

306
\n00:18:18,990 –> 00:18:20,230
\nGod knew that it was going to
\nhappen. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:18:21,830 –> 00:18:24,770
\nHe doesn’t forget.
\nAnd I think that that’s really <\/p>\n

308
\n00:18:24,770 –> 00:18:30,370
\nthe important piece here.
\nJesus says you don’t have to <\/p>\n

309
\n00:18:30,370 –> 00:18:33,490
\nworry.
\nNot because God’s going to take <\/p>\n

310
\n00:18:33,490 –> 00:18:35,330
\ncare of you all the time and
\neverything will be wonderful, <\/p>\n

311
\n00:18:36,130 –> 00:18:42,970
\nbut because God knows what He’s
\ndoing and God knows what you’re <\/p>\n

312
\n00:18:42,970 –> 00:18:51,050
\ngoing through now.
\nI think that’s really the key <\/p>\n

313
\n00:18:51,050 –> 00:18:54,130
\nhere in step one of dealing with
\nfear. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:18:54,930 –> 00:18:57,930
\nIt’s really a recognition that
\nGod is working and that God has <\/p>\n

315
\n00:18:57,930 –> 00:19:01,250
\na plan.
\nAnd the way, the way that it was<\/p>\n

316
\n00:19:01,250 –> 00:19:04,650
\nhelpful for me to think about
\nthis was that, you know, in <\/p>\n

317
\n00:19:04,650 –> 00:19:08,530
\nfront of us we have reality that
\nwe see, that we experience. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:19:09,810 –> 00:19:14,650
\nAnd it’s almost as though God
\ncalls us to see his reality. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:19:15,750 –> 00:19:19,150
\nTo see that he looks at
\ncircumstances and events in a <\/p>\n

320
\n00:19:19,150 –> 00:19:21,710
\nway that is totally different
\nfrom how we experience them. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:19:22,110 –> 00:19:25,230
\nBecause he knows what’s going to
\nhappen, he can control what’s <\/p>\n

322
\n00:19:25,230 –> 00:19:28,790
\ngoing to happen, and we have to
\nstep out of this reality that we<\/p>\n

323
\n00:19:28,790 –> 00:19:33,190
\nsee in front of us and attempt
\nto experience God’s reality. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:19:34,390 –> 00:19:38,350
\nSo let’s look at 3 case studies
\nhere before we move into step <\/p>\n

325
\n00:19:38,350 –> 00:19:41,590
\nnumber 2 with fear.
\nThis is chapter 15. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:19:43,490 –> 00:19:45,530
\nSo in Genesis 15, you have the
\nstory of Abraham. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:19:46,570 –> 00:19:50,570
\nThis, by the way, is one of the
\nfirst times that the word fear <\/p>\n

328
\n00:19:50,570 –> 00:19:55,090
\nis actually used.
\nSo in Genesis 15, we’re going to<\/p>\n

329
\n00:19:55,090 –> 00:19:57,530
\nstart at verse one.
\nThat’s for context. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:19:58,170 –> 00:20:02,090
\nGenesis 14 is the story of
\nAbraham fighting against Kita <\/p>\n

331
\n00:20:02,090 –> 00:20:04,570
\nLaomer.
\nThis is a pretty cool name. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:20:05,370 –> 00:20:08,410
\nSo he goes and he fights against
\nKita Laomer and he rescues a <\/p>\n

333
\n00:20:08,410 –> 00:20:11,920
\nlot.
\nNow I think that’s a helpful <\/p>\n

334
\n00:20:11,920 –> 00:20:13,200
\ncontext because you think about
\nthis. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:20:13,200 –> 00:20:17,280
\nAbraham had 318 people with him
\nand he’s fighting 5 kings, <\/p>\n

336
\n00:20:17,280 –> 00:20:20,760
\nright?
\nSo you can just imagine Abraham <\/p>\n

337
\n00:20:21,240 –> 00:20:24,720
\nprobably would have been pretty
\nfreaked out by this whole thing,<\/p>\n

338
\n00:20:24,720 –> 00:20:26,960
\nbut he goes and he does it
\nanyway because you know, he <\/p>\n

339
\n00:20:26,960 –> 00:20:28,000
\nthinks that’s the right thing to
\ndo. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:20:29,800 –> 00:20:32,720
\nSo in verse 15, right after all
\nthese things, right after <\/p>\n

341
\n00:20:32,720 –> 00:20:37,800
\nAbraham has succeeded, God says
\nto him 15 verse one, after these<\/p>\n

342
\n00:20:37,800 –> 00:20:41,010
\nthings, the word of the Lord
\ncame to Abram in a vision. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:20:41,250 –> 00:20:43,330
\nFear not, Abram.
\nI am your shield. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:20:43,770 –> 00:20:46,530
\nYour reward shall be very great,
\nright? <\/p>\n

345
\n00:20:46,530 –> 00:20:48,690
\nSo God said, I know that was
\nscary. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:20:48,850 –> 00:20:52,570
\nYou don’t have to fear.
\nAnd yet I think God said it for <\/p>\n

347
\n00:20:52,570 –> 00:20:54,370
\nanother reason.
\nIt wasn’t just because of what <\/p>\n

348
\n00:20:54,370 –> 00:20:57,370
\nhad happened in chapter 14, but
\nif you keep reading, notice what<\/p>\n

349
\n00:20:57,370 –> 00:21:02,050
\nAbram says in response.
\nVerse 2, Abram said, Oh Lord <\/p>\n

350
\n00:21:02,050 –> 00:21:06,820
\nGod, what will you give me?
\nFor I continue childless, and <\/p>\n

351
\n00:21:06,820 –> 00:21:09,060
\nthe heir of my house is Eliezer
\nof Damascus. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:21:11,100 –> 00:21:14,380
\nSo Abram wasn’t just scared of
\nthe battle, but I think Abram <\/p>\n

353
\n00:21:14,380 –> 00:21:16,580
\nwas looking at this.
\nAnd if you workout the timeline,<\/p>\n

354
\n00:21:17,260 –> 00:21:21,820
\nit seems like this was probably
\nabout 10 years from the point at<\/p>\n

355
\n00:21:21,820 –> 00:21:26,380
\nwhich Abram had been told that
\nall the earth would be blessed <\/p>\n

356
\n00:21:26,380 –> 00:21:28,540
\nin him.
\nAnd so he’s thinking, OK, you <\/p>\n

357
\n00:21:28,540 –> 00:21:31,300
\nknow, I’m going to have a child
\nand descendants and they’re <\/p>\n

358
\n00:21:31,300 –> 00:21:34,860
\ngoing to blast the earth.
\nAnd so now, 10 years later, he’s<\/p>\n

359
\n00:21:34,860 –> 00:21:36,860
\nafraid because he says, you
\nknow, you made these promises <\/p>\n

360
\n00:21:36,860 –> 00:21:39,980
\nand what’s going on, you know,
\nit’s not working. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:21:42,660 –> 00:21:47,020
\nSo look at what God says in
\nverse three. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:21:47,020 –> 00:21:51,380
\nRemember, we’re considering this
\nidea of our reality versus God’s<\/p>\n

363
\n00:21:51,380 –> 00:21:53,380
\nreality.
\nSo verse three, it says, And <\/p>\n

364
\n00:21:53,380 –> 00:21:55,940
\nAbrams said, behold, you have
\ngiven me no offspring and a <\/p>\n

365
\n00:21:55,940 –> 00:21:58,020
\nmember of my household will be
\nmy heir. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:21:59,300 –> 00:22:01,220
\nAnd behold, the word of the Lord
\ncame to him. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:22:01,420 –> 00:22:05,610
\nThis man shall not be your heir.
\nYour very own son shall be your <\/p>\n

368
\n00:22:05,610 –> 00:22:08,090
\nheir.
\nAnd he brought him outside and <\/p>\n

369
\n00:22:08,090 –> 00:22:10,170
\nsaid, look toward heaven and
\nNumber the Stars. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:22:10,410 –> 00:22:15,850
\nIf you are able to number them,
\nthen he said to him, so shall <\/p>\n

371
\n00:22:16,090 –> 00:22:20,650
\nyour offspring be.
\nAnd he believed in the Lord and <\/p>\n

372
\n00:22:20,650 –> 00:22:22,330
\nhe counted it to him as
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:22:22,970 –> 00:22:26,610
\nNow that’s a pretty famous
\nverse. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:22:26,850 –> 00:22:29,210
\nIt’s picked up in the New
\nTestament multiple times. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:22:29,250 –> 00:22:34,370
\nAnd I think what we want to
\nnotice is in Romans chapter 4, <\/p>\n

376
\n00:22:35,810 –> 00:22:38,250
\nthe apostle Paul takes that
\nverse and he believed in the <\/p>\n

377
\n00:22:38,250 –> 00:22:39,850
\nLord and he counted it to him as
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:22:40,410 –> 00:22:42,770
\nApostle Paul takes that verse
\nand he says, you know, why was <\/p>\n

379
\n00:22:42,770 –> 00:22:45,850
\nthis so amazing that Abraham
\nbelieved what God said? <\/p>\n

380
\n00:22:46,570 –> 00:22:47,730
\nYou know, God told him this
\ncouldn’t. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:22:47,730 –> 00:22:48,770
\nYou just said, yeah, that’s
\ngreat. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:22:48,770 –> 00:22:51,330
\nYou know, I believe it.
\nBut Paul says, you know, you <\/p>\n

383
\n00:22:51,330 –> 00:22:52,650
\nhave to understand the
\ncircumstances. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:22:52,770 –> 00:22:57,010
\nAnd the way that Paul describes
\nit is he says his own body was <\/p>\n

385
\n00:22:57,010 –> 00:23:00,410
\nas good as dead, and so was
\nSarah’s. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:23:00,930 –> 00:23:04,180
\nAnd so you think about this
\nright, Abrams reality. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:23:05,540 –> 00:23:09,460
\nI AM 85 years old.
\nI am not going to have children,<\/p>\n

388
\n00:23:09,860 –> 00:23:12,020
\nright?
\nSeems pretty clear. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:23:12,260 –> 00:23:16,180
\nAnd yet God says you have to see
\nmy reality. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:23:17,300 –> 00:23:22,020
\nYou have to recognize that I
\ndon’t work within this scope of <\/p>\n

391
\n00:23:22,020 –> 00:23:26,420
\nyour experiences.
\nAnd so because of that, God <\/p>\n

392
\n00:23:26,420 –> 00:23:27,860
\ncould come and you could say,
\nfear not. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:23:28,520 –> 00:23:30,200
\nI know that you’re afraid.
\nHow are these things going to be<\/p>\n

394
\n00:23:30,200 –> 00:23:31,600
\naccomplished?
\nI know that you were afraid from<\/p>\n

395
\n00:23:31,600 –> 00:23:37,520
\nthe battle.
\nBut see my reality, recognize my<\/p>\n

396
\n00:23:37,560 –> 00:23:39,960
\noverarching control and my
\noverarching plan. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:23:41,560 –> 00:23:44,360
\nSo you see that in Genesis 15.
\nHere’s, here’s another example. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:23:44,360 –> 00:23:45,840
\nYou don’t have to go there, but
\nyou can if you want. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:23:46,160 –> 00:23:49,760
\nIt’s in Second King’s Chapter 6.
\nYou might remember the story. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:23:49,760 –> 00:23:54,920
\nSecond King 6.
\nThis is the king of Syria is <\/p>\n

401
\n00:23:54,920 –> 00:23:56,720
\ntrying to conquer the Kingdom of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:23:57,720 –> 00:24:00,800
\nAnd so the king of Syria sends
\nan army to go fight against <\/p>\n

403
\n00:24:00,800 –> 00:24:02,040
\nIsrael.
\nAnd he says, ha ha, this is <\/p>\n

404
\n00:24:02,040 –> 00:24:06,040
\ngoing to be a good sneak attack.
\nAnd then all of a sudden his <\/p>\n

405
\n00:24:06,040 –> 00:24:08,800
\ntroops get there and the army of
\nIsrael’s waiting. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:24:08,920 –> 00:24:12,800
\nAnd the king of Syria says what
\nsomebody told them, you know, <\/p>\n

407
\n00:24:13,000 –> 00:24:15,360
\nAnd he does it again.
\nHe says, OK, we’ll go sneak <\/p>\n

408
\n00:24:15,360 –> 00:24:18,400
\nattack somewhere else.
\nAnd then they go and the army of<\/p>\n

409
\n00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:20,280
\nIsrael’s waiting there.
\nAnd he says, who’s telling these<\/p>\n

410
\n00:24:20,280 –> 00:24:24,800
\npeople, oh, it’s Elisha, right?
\nThey figure out, you know, <\/p>\n

411
\n00:24:24,800 –> 00:24:27,920
\nElisha knows this and so they go
\nand they surround the city where<\/p>\n

412
\n00:24:27,920 –> 00:24:32,120
\nElisha is.
\nAnd Elisha servant says all <\/p>\n

413
\n00:24:32,120 –> 00:24:34,000
\nwe’re done for.
\nYou know we can’t do this. <\/p>\n

414
\n00:24:34,000 –> 00:24:35,280
\nAnd do you remember what Elisha
\nsays? <\/p>\n

415
\n00:24:36,600 –> 00:24:41,840
\nFear not, for they that be with
\nus are more than they that be <\/p>\n

416
\n00:24:41,840 –> 00:24:43,680
\nwith them.
\nNow can you just imagine this, <\/p>\n

417
\n00:24:43,920 –> 00:24:46,040
\nright?
\nElisha’s saying that to this to <\/p>\n

418
\n00:24:46,040 –> 00:24:48,480
\nthe servant and the servant
\nwould be like this guy is nuts, <\/p>\n

419
\n00:24:49,200 –> 00:24:50,560
\nright?
\nWe don’t have an army, you know <\/p>\n

420
\n00:24:50,720 –> 00:24:52,640
\nwe don’t have anything here.
\nWhat is he talking about? <\/p>\n

421
\n00:24:53,310 –> 00:24:55,790
\nAnd then Alicia says, oh, Lord,
\nGod, open his eyes. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:24:56,470 –> 00:25:00,310
\nAnd then he sees the Chariots of
\nfire all around the city. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:25:00,310 –> 00:25:03,870
\nRight?
\nThis is a glimpse into God’s <\/p>\n

424
\n00:25:03,870 –> 00:25:07,670
\nreality.
\nAnd so he didn’t need to fear. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:25:09,510 –> 00:25:13,390
\nI think it’s helpful for us to
\nrecognize that God works on a <\/p>\n

426
\n00:25:13,390 –> 00:25:18,470
\nlevel and in a way that is so
\nmuch bigger than what we can <\/p>\n

427
\n00:25:18,470 –> 00:25:20,470
\noften think.
\nAnd so when we sit there in our <\/p>\n

428
\n00:25:20,470 –> 00:25:23,230
\nanxiety and we think, well, if I
\ndo this, this is what’s going to<\/p>\n

429
\n00:25:23,230 –> 00:25:27,670
\nhappen.
\nGod is working and God has a <\/p>\n

430
\n00:25:27,670 –> 00:25:30,710
\nplan.
\nHere’s another example for you. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:25:30,910 –> 00:25:34,150
\nCome over to Luke chapter 8.
\nThis is the last one in Luke <\/p>\n

432
\n00:25:34,150 –> 00:25:38,270
\nchapter 8.
\nThis is the story of Jarius’s <\/p>\n

433
\n00:25:38,270 –> 00:25:47,470
\ndaughter.
\nIn Luke 8. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:25:48,720 –> 00:25:53,000
\nJesus has been approached by
\nGyrus who is the ruler of the <\/p>\n

435
\n00:25:53,000 –> 00:25:55,280
\nsynagogue, and he asked him to
\ncome and heal his daughter. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:25:55,800 –> 00:25:59,440
\nAnd while he’s on the way, he
\nstopped by someone else who <\/p>\n

437
\n00:25:59,440 –> 00:26:01,480
\nneeds healing, right?
\nShe grabs his cloak and she’s <\/p>\n

438
\n00:26:01,480 –> 00:26:04,400
\nhealed and Christ turned around
\nand he says he touched me there,<\/p>\n

439
\n00:26:04,400 –> 00:26:07,440
\nthat whole story.
\nAnd that takes just long enough <\/p>\n

440
\n00:26:08,480 –> 00:26:14,720
\nso the Lord Jesus is held up and
\ndoesn’t make it to Gyrus’s house<\/p>\n

441
\n00:26:15,400 –> 00:26:19,050
\nbefore his daughter dies.
\nAnd so verse 49, Luke 8, verse <\/p>\n

442
\n00:26:19,050 –> 00:26:24,530
\n49 says verse 49 while he was
\nstill speaking, someone from the<\/p>\n

443
\n00:26:24,530 –> 00:26:26,690
\nruler’s house came and said your
\ndaughter is dead. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:26:26,890 –> 00:26:28,490
\nDo not trouble the teacher
\nanymore. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:26:29,930 –> 00:26:34,250
\nNow look at Jesus’s answer.
\nJesus on hearing this, answered <\/p>\n

446
\n00:26:34,250 –> 00:26:39,010
\nhim, do not fear.
\nAnd you see the opposite of fear<\/p>\n

447
\n00:26:39,010 –> 00:26:46,690
\nhere.
\nDo not fear, only believe and <\/p>\n

448
\n00:26:46,690 –> 00:26:50,050
\nshe will be.
\nWell, Jesus essentially says you<\/p>\n

449
\n00:26:50,050 –> 00:26:53,730
\ndon’t believe in what I think
\nthis is belief in God’s reality.<\/p>\n

450
\n00:26:54,370 –> 00:26:56,650
\nLike don’t fear, You know you
\nlooking in front of you and it <\/p>\n

451
\n00:26:56,650 –> 00:26:58,810
\nlooks like your daughter’s dead,
\nbut I’m telling you she’s not. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:26:59,130 –> 00:27:01,770
\nBut that’s what Jesus says,
\nverse 51. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:27:02,130 –> 00:27:05,010
\nAnd when he came to the house he
\nallowed no one to enter with him<\/p>\n

454
\n00:27:05,050 –> 00:27:07,810
\nexcept Peter and John and James
\nand the father, the mother and <\/p>\n

455
\n00:27:07,810 –> 00:27:09,010
\nchild.
\nAnd all were weeping and <\/p>\n

456
\n00:27:09,010 –> 00:27:11,690
\nmourning for her.
\nBut he said do not weep, for she<\/p>\n

457
\n00:27:11,690 –> 00:27:16,810
\nis not dead but sleeping.
\nNow everybody standing in that <\/p>\n

458
\n00:27:16,810 –> 00:27:19,610
\nhouse would have thought that
\nJesus was crazy and they did, <\/p>\n

459
\n00:27:19,930 –> 00:27:25,410
\nand they laughed at him knowing
\nthat she was dead but she wasn’t<\/p>\n

460
\n00:27:26,770 –> 00:27:31,570
\nin God’s reality.
\nTaking her by the hand, he <\/p>\n

461
\n00:27:31,570 –> 00:27:36,490
\ncalled saying child arise, and
\nher spirit returned and she got <\/p>\n

462
\n00:27:36,490 –> 00:27:39,770
\nup at once and he directed that
\nsomething should be given her to<\/p>\n

463
\n00:27:39,770 –> 00:27:42,390
\neat.
\nAnd her parents were amazed, but<\/p>\n

464
\n00:27:42,390 –> 00:27:44,590
\nhe charged them to tell no one
\nwhat had happened. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:27:44,830 –> 00:27:48,030
\nAnd so I think when we we find
\nourselves bombarded by these <\/p>\n

466
\n00:27:48,390 –> 00:27:53,950
\nanxieties, the first step is
\nreally to recognize that, well, <\/p>\n

467
\n00:27:54,670 –> 00:27:57,430
\nGod is working.
\nWe don’t know how he’s working. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:27:58,390 –> 00:28:00,750
\nIt’s it’s still going to be
\nhard. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:28:02,590 –> 00:28:07,630
\nBut he’s working and he has a
\nplan that’s bigger than what we <\/p>\n

470
\n00:28:07,630 –> 00:28:09,630
\nknow.
\nAnd so we have to try and step <\/p>\n

471
\n00:28:09,630 –> 00:28:13,620
\nout of our reality and what we
\nsee and to see his reality. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:28:15,380 –> 00:28:19,020
\nNow here’s step two.
\nI think even in that, you know, <\/p>\n

473
\n00:28:19,020 –> 00:28:23,500
\nwe can’t say you can get rid of
\nfear because, you know, I can <\/p>\n

474
\n00:28:23,500 –> 00:28:27,220
\nvery fully well acknowledge that
\nGod is working but still be <\/p>\n

475
\n00:28:27,220 –> 00:28:29,180
\nafraid of things.
\nYou know what? <\/p>\n

476
\n00:28:29,180 –> 00:28:34,580
\nIf I say, OK, God is working,
\nbut you know, I know that I <\/p>\n

477
\n00:28:34,580 –> 00:28:37,580
\ncould get hurt in this situation
\nand maybe God is going to allow <\/p>\n

478
\n00:28:37,580 –> 00:28:39,260
\nme to get hurt and I don’t like
\ngetting hurt. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:28:39,460 –> 00:28:43,780
\nSo, you know, that’s scary.
\nAnd in fact, I think you see <\/p>\n

480
\n00:28:43,780 –> 00:28:46,420
\nthat now, if you remember what
\nwe just read here in John <\/p>\n

481
\n00:28:46,420 –> 00:28:49,940
\nchapter 12, the Lord Jesus, I
\nthink, even gives us an example <\/p>\n

482
\n00:28:49,940 –> 00:28:53,820
\nof that.
\nNow I have to be careful here. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:28:54,460 –> 00:29:01,180
\nScripture doesn’t say that Jesus
\nwas afraid in this chapter, but <\/p>\n

484
\n00:29:01,580 –> 00:29:03,860
\nI think you can infer that in a
\nsense. <\/p>\n

485
\n00:29:05,270 –> 00:29:08,390
\nSo as we come to remember him
\nnow, let’s bring our thoughts <\/p>\n

486
\n00:29:08,390 –> 00:29:15,110
\nhere to the Lord Jesus in John
\nchapter 12 he says in verse 27, <\/p>\n

487
\n00:29:16,390 –> 00:29:23,870
\nlisten for the fear.
\nJohn 12, verse 27 says, Now, is <\/p>\n

488
\n00:29:23,870 –> 00:29:29,140
\nmy soul troubled?
\nAnd what shall I say, Father <\/p>\n

489
\n00:29:29,140 –> 00:29:32,140
\nsaved me from this hour, But for
\nthis purpose I have come to this<\/p>\n

490
\n00:29:32,140 –> 00:29:33,460
\nhour.
\nAnd so you can almost hear this <\/p>\n

491
\n00:29:33,500 –> 00:29:36,380
\nwrestling, right?
\nJesus wasn’t scared because, you<\/p>\n

492
\n00:29:36,380 –> 00:29:39,820
\nknow, he thought that that
\nsomething really bad was going <\/p>\n

493
\n00:29:39,820 –> 00:29:41,460
\nto happen to him.
\nI mean, he knew that something <\/p>\n

494
\n00:29:41,460 –> 00:29:42,620
\nreally bad was going to happen
\nto him. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:29:42,940 –> 00:29:45,700
\nThis wasn’t just like anxiety
\nover what might take place. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:29:46,980 –> 00:29:51,180
\nAnd I think in this situation
\nyou legitimately can be scared, <\/p>\n

497
\n00:29:51,180 –> 00:29:54,060
\nyou know, what he was doing was
\ngoing to be something <\/p>\n

498
\n00:29:54,060 –> 00:29:57,020
\nterrifying.
\nAnd so he says, my soul <\/p>\n

499
\n00:29:57,020 –> 00:30:01,560
\ntroubled.
\nAnd yet I think that this is <\/p>\n

500
\n00:30:01,560 –> 00:30:07,440
\nreally where it all comes
\ntogether for us, because we can <\/p>\n

501
\n00:30:07,520 –> 00:30:12,160
\nrecognize that God’s in control
\nand yet we can still be <\/p>\n

502
\n00:30:12,160 –> 00:30:16,440
\nparalyzed by fear, even knowing
\nthat he’s taking care of things.<\/p>\n

503
\n00:30:20,160 –> 00:30:24,440
\nAnd so the Lord Jesus gives us
\nthe example, because what he <\/p>\n

504
\n00:30:24,440 –> 00:30:25,680
\ndoes is he says, you know what?
\nI’m. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:30:25,800 –> 00:30:29,790
\nI’m afraid.
\nAnd do you see what he says <\/p>\n

506
\n00:30:29,790 –> 00:30:34,950
\nafter that?
\nVerse 28, Father, glorify your <\/p>\n

507
\n00:30:34,950 –> 00:30:37,630
\nname.
\nAnd I think that’s the point at <\/p>\n

508
\n00:30:37,630 –> 00:30:43,150
\nwhich the antidote for fear is
\ncourage. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:30:45,230 –> 00:30:47,310
\nYou know, we just have to say,
\nyou know, I’m really afraid <\/p>\n

510
\n00:30:47,310 –> 00:30:54,070
\nright now, but I’m going to do
\nthis anyway because this is what<\/p>\n

511
\n00:30:54,070 –> 00:30:57,680
\nI should do.
\nNow let’s see how this comes <\/p>\n

512
\n00:30:57,680 –> 00:31:00,520
\ntogether.
\nLet’s go to Second Timothy. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:31:00,520 –> 00:31:06,800
\nChapter one for the gym brought
\nus to this one a few weeks ago, <\/p>\n

514
\n00:31:07,760 –> 00:31:11,360
\nSecond Timothy one, And I think
\nthat this really kind of brings <\/p>\n

515
\n00:31:11,360 –> 00:31:23,760
\nit together.
\nSecond Timothy chapter one. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:31:23,760 –> 00:31:29,950
\nNotice the different character
\ntraits or ideas that are here in<\/p>\n

517
\n00:31:29,950 –> 00:31:33,510
\nthis verse.
\nIn verse 7, Second Timothy one, <\/p>\n

518
\n00:31:33,510 –> 00:31:37,950
\nverse 7 says for God gave us a
\nspirit not of fear. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:31:39,190 –> 00:31:44,670
\nSo what’s the antidote to fear
\nof power and love and <\/p>\n

520
\n00:31:44,670 –> 00:31:47,910
\nself-control?
\nAnd I think what we see going on<\/p>\n

521
\n00:31:47,910 –> 00:31:51,830
\nhere is you have this idea of
\npower, which is courage. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:31:53,080 –> 00:31:56,400
\nYou have this idea of courage,
\nlove and self-control all coming<\/p>\n

523
\n00:31:56,400 –> 00:31:59,640
\ntogether in which where you find
\nyourself trembling from fear. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:32:00,800 –> 00:32:03,120
\nYou say, I’m going to be
\ncourageous and the question is <\/p>\n

525
\n00:32:03,120 –> 00:32:06,440
\nwhy?
\nBecause of love. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:32:06,440 –> 00:32:14,640
\nAnd I think that’s how this all
\nworks together, is that the step<\/p>\n

527
\n00:32:14,640 –> 00:32:17,600
\ntwo of the process of going
\nagainst fear is essentially <\/p>\n

528
\n00:32:17,600 –> 00:32:22,040
\nsaying, I’m afraid, I’m
\nterrified, but I’m going to do <\/p>\n

529
\n00:32:22,040 –> 00:32:30,210
\nthis because I love God, because
\nI love you, you know, And that’s<\/p>\n

530
\n00:32:30,410 –> 00:32:32,770
\nreally how this comes together
\nfor us. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:32:33,690 –> 00:32:37,330
\nLove is what conquers fear.
\nYou know, I think we’re familiar<\/p>\n

532
\n00:32:37,330 –> 00:32:39,970
\nwith the verse in which John
\nsays perfect love casts out <\/p>\n

533
\n00:32:39,970 –> 00:32:40,850
\nfear.
\nRight? <\/p>\n

534
\n00:32:41,410 –> 00:32:44,090
\nAnd I love the way that he
\ndescribes it because, you know, <\/p>\n

535
\n00:32:44,090 –> 00:32:46,050
\nwhen you actually look at the
\nGreek, the word there for casts <\/p>\n

536
\n00:32:46,050 –> 00:32:51,290
\nout is, is balo, which means
\nlike, throws, right. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:32:51,290 –> 00:32:54,370
\nSo it’s not just, you know,
\nperfect love sets to fear, OK, <\/p>\n

538
\n00:32:54,410 –> 00:32:55,650
\nYou know, you can’t be here
\nright now. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:32:55,770 –> 00:32:58,010
\nIt’s perfect love.
\nLike picks up fear and says get <\/p>\n

540
\n00:32:58,010 –> 00:32:58,930
\nout of here.
\nYou can’t. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:32:59,090 –> 00:33:01,330
\nYou got to go away.
\nThis isn’t going to work. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:33:02,130 –> 00:33:06,930
\nWe can’t exist together.
\nAnd so when we look at the Lord <\/p>\n

543
\n00:33:06,930 –> 00:33:09,490
\nJesus and at his sacrifice, I
\nthink it’s helpful for us to <\/p>\n

544
\n00:33:09,490 –> 00:33:12,090
\nrecognize that here, it’s
\nsomebody who fully acknowledged <\/p>\n

545
\n00:33:12,090 –> 00:33:14,930
\nthat God was in control.
\nHe fully saw God’s reality. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:33:14,930 –> 00:33:18,530
\nHe saw the joy that was set
\nbefore him, and yet he was <\/p>\n

547
\n00:33:18,530 –> 00:33:22,030
\nscared because of what he was
\ngoing to have to go through. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:33:22,030 –> 00:33:26,270
\nAnd so when we see the same
\nthing with ourselves and we <\/p>\n

549
\n00:33:26,270 –> 00:33:32,230
\nthink, how am I going to get
\nthrough this, we take courage <\/p>\n

550
\n00:33:34,270 –> 00:33:40,310
\nand we think on how much we love
\nour God, how much we love his <\/p>\n

551
\n00:33:40,310 –> 00:33:44,310
\nSon.
\nAnd that love spurs us to <\/p>\n

552
\n00:33:44,310 –> 00:33:49,270
\naction.
\nAnd courage and courage teaches <\/p>\n

553
\n00:33:49,310 –> 00:33:54,540
\nus to face that fear and to
\nconquer, just as the Lord Jesus.<\/p>\n
