Message: Overcoming Fear Date: 31th January 2019 Ministered by: Sanyu Kimuli

1. TWO TRUTHS, ONE LIE
1. Once I ran home from school because I
was scared of the dark (winter time, so it
got dark early)
2. I’m scared of spiders (killing them)
3. I have overcome my fear of heights
(rollercoasters/mountains etc.)

POWERMATTHEW 22v23-33 – the Saducees
Hebrews 13.8 - Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever.
Don’t be a deist!
Philippians 4.13 - I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am
ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who [a]infuses inner
strength into me; I am [b]self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].
Hebrews 13.6 - So we say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?”[a]

7. GOD GAVE YOU A
SOUND MIND To have a sound
mind is to have a
mind that is in tune
with the truth in
God’s word.
Think on purpose, be careful what you let into your mind
Phil 4.8 - 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such
things.
Colossians 3.2 - 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Romans 8.5-6 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what
the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their
minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is
death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

8. GOD GAVE YOU
LOVE1 John 4.18 - There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown
(complete, perfect) love [a]turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of
terror! For fear [b]brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is
afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s
complete perfection].
Position yourself in God’s love
1 John 4.16 - God is love, and those who live in love live in God, and God lives
in them.
