Fear: against the knowledge of God

 Fear: against the knowledge of God by ric gustafson

According to II Corinthians 10:5, we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. 

When you get into an agreement with Satan, your life will go downhill. Satan will tell you things that are untrue. If Satan tells you your life is nothing, you will begin to believe it. Your life and potential in Jesus will suffer greatly. We need to denounce Satan's lies one by one.

We need to declare our life in Jesus. When we do that, peace and joy will follow. The Holy Spirit will help us do that. God loves us more than anything else.

Beatle songs: YESTERDAY

 Beatle songs: YESTERDAY by ric gustafson

Paul woke up one morning with a tune in his head. He started playing on a piano that was by the bed. He had the tune in his mind but had no lyrics. He was worried that someone had already come up with the tune. He asked everyone he could find. No one had the tune. He named the new tune ' Scrambled Eggs'. When he was done with the lyrics, he named the tune ' Yesterday'.

It was included on the Help album. It went to number 1 in the US Sept 13 1966.

Fear: I take every thought captive

 Fear: I take every thought captive by ric gustafson

Overthinking is when we lose our thoughts with negative ruminations. You become what you think. Our deepest insecurities can lead to anxiety and discouragement. What we think will direct our day. God wants our attention to be on him. According to Paul in II Corinthians we can train our brains or take every thought captive. We need to redirect our mind. 

We need to get rid of negative thoughts. Through the Holy Spirit, we can find healing, restoration and freedom from negative thinking. Jesus wants us to replace negative thinking with positive thoughts.

Praise God's name.

Fear: I am who Christ says I am

 Fear: I am who Christ says I am by ric gustafson

Satan is the Accuser. He will tell us that we are not enough. But God knows who we are. God sees through Satan's lies. In Jesus, we are chosen, holy and an adopted child. We are heirs of God. We are redeemed and forgiven. Jesus claims us as his own. Praise God's name.

Fear: Jesus is King of my life

 Fear: Jesus is King of my life by ric gustafson

So what is the King of your life?. Any good thing can become the ultimate thing in our life. When we pick something other than God to worship, destruction and damage occurs. At first it makes you feel good. Then addiction happens. Then it becomes a bottomless pit. 

Jesus has a better plan for us. If Jesus is ruler of our lives, he will rescue us from darkness and evil. Jesus will give us eternal life. So what is the King of our life?. The choice is ours to make.

As Gabriel and the young angel looked on, Jesus began to speak. " Today neighbors and friends". He looked around. " This prophecy of Isaiah has been fulfilled here in your hearing".

Someone shouted. " You have come to imply that you are the Messiah".

" You are the carpenter's son". Someone yelled. " We have known you since you were a boy".

Jesus began to plead. " Friends listen".

" You shame us Jesus".

Many stood up and shouted. " You shame us".

Villagers grabbed Jesus and dragged him outside. They quickly brought him up to the top of a hill. Their intention was to throw him off of it.

All of a sudden, Gabriel and the young angel started a dust cloud around the villagers.

They grabbed Jesus. They quickly left.
