Presentation transcript:

 What are your fears? 3  Claustrophobia: Fear of confined spaces  Altophobia: Fear of heights  Aviophobia: Fear of flying  Hydrophobia: Fear of water  Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders  Ophidiophobia: Fear of snakes  Glossophobia: Fear of public speaking

 What are your fears? 4  Brontophobia: Fear of thunder & lightening  Coulrophobia: Fear of clowns  Dendrophobia: Fear of trees  Pentheraphobia: Fear of mother-in-law  Phronemophobia: Fear of thinking  Eccleisiophobia: Fear of church

 What are your fears? 5  Homilophobia: Fear of sermons  Panobia: Fear of everything  Bible uses “fear” in two ways:  Respect: Eccl. 12:13; Prov. 1:7; Acts 10:35  Cowardice: 2 Tim. 1:7

 It keeps one from confessing Christ:  Confessing Christ is a prerequisite of salvation: Matt. 10:32; Rom. 10:9-10; Acts 8:36-37  Fear can keep one from making this confession: Jn. 12:

 It keeps our faith a secret:  Remember Joseph of Arimathea? Jn. 19:38  Are you a “secret” disciple of Jesus?  How many will face judgment unprepared because you were afraid? 7

8 When in the better land, before the bar we stand, How deeply grieved our souls will be, If any lost one there, should cry in deep despair, ‘You never mentioned Him to me.’ O let us spread the word, where-eer it may be heard, Help groping souls the light to see, That yonder none may say, you showed me not the way, ‘You never mentioned Him to me.’ You Never Mentioned Him To Me

9 A few sweet words may guide, a lost one to His side, Or turn sad eyes on Calvary, So work as days go by, that yonder none may cry ‘You never mentioned Him to me.’ You never mentioned Him to me Nor help me the light to see You met me day by day and knew I was astray You never mentioned Him to me. You Never Mentioned Him To Me “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

 It keeps one from obeying God:  Remember King Saul? 1 Sam. 15:3  What did Saul do and why? 1 Sam. 15:24  Fear paralyzes many when faced with obstacles or responsibilities: Matt. 25:25; 2 Thess. 1:8; Rev. 21:7-8 10

 It makes one’s life miserable:  Remember King Saul? 1 Sam. 16:14  But fear is not what God has in mind for us! 2 Tim. 1:7  Fear erodes our God-given “sound mind” making life miserable: 1 Jn. 4:18; Rom. 8:37 11

 It renders one useless in his service to God:  Remember Gideon? Judges 7:2-3  Why did God chose fear to thin the ranks? Deut. 20:8  If we’re overcome with fear we are of no use to the Lord or the brethren! 12

 It causes one to lose his soul:  Make a list of things that cause one to be lost. What would be your “top ten”? Rev. 21:8  Do you think cowardice is a serious matter?  What did God put at the head of the list? 13

 Learn to trust in God: Prov. 29:25  Trusting God is the solution: Lk. 12:4- 7; Rom. 8:31-39  Bondage in sin brings fear while divine adoption removes it! Rom. 8:15  We need the conviction Paul had: 2 Tim. 1:12 14

 Learn to live in the presence of God:  A child’s trust of parents is absolute.  We should have similar feelings toward God: Heb. 13:5-6  Remember Elisha’s servant? 2 Kgs. 6; Psa. 46:1-2 15

 Sanctify the Lord in our heart: 1 Pet. 3:13-15  Filling our heart with God pushes out fear!  Sanctifying the Lord leaves on room for anything else!  Requires our total focus and effort! Matt. 5:6; 13:46 16

 Learn to use our spiritual armor:  Are you “always…ready”? 1 Pet. 3:15  Requires more than knowledge! Matt. 16:26; 13:46  But knowledge is the key for confidence.  God’s armor only protects us if we put it on and know how to use it! Eph. 6:10-17; Heb. 4:12-13; 1 Pet. 1:25 17

 Pray:  The key to making God’s armor effective: Eph. 6:18  If inspired apostles needed prayer, I surely do too! Acts 4:29-31  Eliminates fear, brings peace of mind: Phil. 4:6-7; Psa. 55:4-5, 16-17, 22  How about you? Lk. 18:1-8 18

 A problem with fear is not insignificant!  It will keep us from pleasing God, serving Him and going to heaven.  Remember 2 Tim. 1:7  Let us put on the whole armor of God and lean upon Him in prayer! 19
