Message this month is on Fear
Out Of Fear Into Faith
This month we believe God wants us to speak about FEAR. It is so prevalent in people today, even some in the body of Christ. If only you will look around you, wherever you go there is Fear on people’s faces, especially with all that is going on in the world.
Fear will cause things in our lives such as stress, worry, tension, doubt and unbelief which if you let it become a part of your life, will in turn cause you to become upset, angry, even hatred towards one another. These things can cause severe sickness and disease in our bodies. I myself (William) went through many years of fear and it caused so much sickness and pain in my body, as well as hurt to those that I loved. God can and will take fear away from you if only you will call upon His name as you pray, then believe and receive your healing. God’s word in 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) says: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
In Matthew Chapter 14 Verses 22 thru 32 it shows how fear came upon the disciples of Jesus. I call it Out of Fear into Faith. Jesus shows us how when storms come into our lives we can know that Jesus is with us and will see where our faith is either in the storm or with Him. Our faith and trust must be centered on Jesus no matter what comes our way in life. Does not God’s word say in Hebrews chapter 13:verses 5 and 6. 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
