Faith vs Fear

Miracles happen when you believe in the word of God.
Speaker : Pst Manoj Arunkumar
Matthew 28:16-17
There's an appointed mountain where Jesus has been revealed. We need to understand the plans of God in our life.
God created us to worship Him and when Jesus performed miracles, the people worshipped him.
When the people saw Jesus on the mountain, the first thing that they did wasn't praying or expressing their emotions; instead they 'worshipped' Him. The first thing you have to do every time you experience Jesus is to worship him. Worship is the key to your blessings.
John 4:23-24
Truth is the word of God. You need the word and the spirit of God and that's when you become a true worshipper of the living God.
John 20:24-29
"I will not believe."
"Peace to you."
"Do not be unbelieving but believing."
* Doubt will rob the best of God's things from a believer.
When Jesus came to Thomas, he asked him to not be unbelieving and said "Peace to you."
Don't see the miracle and believe the Lord, believe the Lord now and see the miracle because "Blessed are those who have not seen Him, and yet have believed."
When you doubt God, imagine how much He's hurt.
Doubt is from the Devil. When your eyes, mind and heart are clean there's no place for doubt. When doubt is activated, we dont see that the person is blessed because they're doubting God and His Word. (2 Peter 3; Judgement for those who doubt)
"Faith brings bigger blessings into your life."
Matthew 14:21
If you want to walk on water, walk through fire and in the midst of your circumstances you need to put your trust in the Lord and not doubt.
The devil creates doubt in your heart against the power of the almighty God.
Objectives of the Devil to immobilise your faith.
(1) Build a wall of fear in your mind.
When fear comes into your mind, faith vanishes and when faith vanishes, the person experiences failure. Where there is fear, there's no faith. The first step towards faith is to deal with fear.
Why do you think of what others think about you, when you have to worry about what God thinks of you. People are unsuccessful because they fear the outside world but don't fear God on the inside. Wrong fear isn't from God and it doesn't bring any glory to Him.
Colossians 1:12
When you die in Christ, you are buried with Christ and you're resurrected with Christ to have a new life in him, sitting on the heavenly realms.
Attachment to society is wrong, and can lead to a lot of fears. You need to get out of the wall of fear.
(2) Replaces your faith with fear.
The devil replaces your faith with fear, to lose possession of every blessing that God has in store for you.
Fear says that you're finished but faith says there's hope for you.
Fear says you're a sinner, faith says that he's the God almighty and He'll bless you.
Fear says that you're a sick person, faith says you're healed.
Fear says you're unsuccessful, faith says He'll lift you up and make you a great nation.
Don't entertain fear or it will destroy your life.
(3) Puts doubt and fear in your heart.
Fear and doubt go hand in hand. The devil put doubt in your heart which causes you to disobey God. What you fear will come upon you, so let's not allow doubt but faith to work in our lives.
(4) Stops you from operating in the gift of the spirit.
The devil makes you to lose interest in the Kingdom of God, prayer and the word. Once he takes the interest out of you, it is easy for the devil to kill you.
God wants us to walk without fear in our lives. The very root of fear is the lack of trust in God.
Faith.
Faith activates God's presence in your life.
Romans 14:23
Whatever is not from faith, is sin. Thus, fear is Sin.
We are not called to have fear, but to have faith in God. Dout is not from the kingdom of god, but from the devil.
We should never doubt God because it brings upon condemnation in our lives.
* Where does faith come from?
By hearing the word of God, faith comes alive.
When your faith becomes alive you become the doers of the Word of God.
Faith is acting on the word of God.
God wants us to walk without fear. Don't allow the root of fear to destroy your faith. Keep God first in your personal, social, spiritual and family life and see what God would do for you! The prayers of faith will surely be answered, but the prayers of doubt will not be heard. As long as you walk on His word, your eyes aren't distracted but when you distract your eyes from God, doubt him and look at the storms, you'll sink. Focus on Jesus; don't distract yourself and get robbed of God's blessings.
"Storms aren't behind you but they're behind Jesus!"
Mark 11:21-22
Have faith in God, and you will not be withered.
Mark 11:23
When you've prayed and asked, believe that you've received it and DO NOT DOUBT; then whatever you say will be done and whenever you say you will have.
Your life needs to be based on faith.
Hebrews 11:1
Faith is hope and the evidence of things not seen. Your faith in Jesus will never discourage you.
Hebrews 11:6
1 Corinthians 13:13
The bible is based on three things; Faith, Hope and Love. It's like the Trinity; Father, Son and the Holy Spirit respectively and love is the greatest amongst them all.
"Whenever somebody asks Jesus for mercy, he just cannot stop himself."
