1. Opening JOke
I heard about this man and his wife.
They argued for months over who should make the coffee in the morning.
The man definitely thought it was the wife's job and she just didn't agree.
After several heated debates she finally said, "I can prove from the bible that it's your job."
He said, "There's nothing in the bible about making coffee.
She said, "Sure there is."
She called him over and opened her bible and pointed to the book of He-Brews."

3. Topic
3.1.
Fixing your mind fixes your win.
4. Problem
4.1.
The imagination will still your win by making a FUS
4.1.1.
Fear
Fear based thoughts I always magnify the problem, amplify the problem, turn up the volume on the challenge.
Fear makes you feel like you are small, inadequate and ill-prepared.
Fear told the people of Israel there was no way they could take on Goliath.
Fear will tell you there is no way you can get that job, no way you can get into that school, no way you will marry that girl, that guy, now way you will succeed in life.
Fear does not make you retreat, even worse, fear just makes you settle.
4.1.2.
Uncertainity
Thoughts of uncertainty will always trip you up by throwing out the constant "what if this" and "what if that" and "what if" and "what if" until your dream has been smothered in a spaghetti bowl of "what ifs"
Uncertainty always makes you feeling helpless and confused.
It causes you to abandon the future because there are just too many possibilities that things could go wrong.
The Spies that Moses sent into the land were faced with uncertainty.
How will a bunch of untrained military men fight trained giants.
How will a bunch of people fed on manna beat a people fed by milk and honey.
How will be a punch of people trained in walking in a zig-zag defeat a people dwelling in the land.
The uncertainty filled10 of the spies with a certainty that God's promised future was impossible to obtain.
4.1.3.
Second-Guessing
Second guessing might be the most dangerous of the three.
Second guessing always happens after a decision has been made, after you decided to go for that promotion, after you took that new job, after you stood in faith, after you made a bold proclamation.
After you made that decision you begin second guessing yourself:
“Did I really make the right decision?”
“What if I fail?”
“Maybe it’s not the right time.”
“What if there was something better out there?”
"Should I have done this it is harder than I thought?"
"I don't see the results I hoped for should I bail?"
How many times have we bailed on God's future because of second guessing?
Barring decisions that put us in real danger, or patterns of thoughtless living that require constant do-overs, we have to learn to make a decision, and stick with it.
4.2.
Satan loves to confirm the FUS in your mind.
4.2.1.

4.2.3.

4.2.4.
He wil show you the ashes and not the beauty
4.2.5.
He will show you the sadness but not the oil of joy
4.2.6.
He will show you the scarcity but not the abudance.
5. Probelm is Even Worse
5.1.
Once you fix your mind on the FUS you will pass it on to others.
5.2.
The 10 spies poisoned the whole community with their FUS.
5.3.
Since my profession in is religious space I see how this shows up especially in a legacy synagogue.
Being unwilling to face a challenge, when a challenge is necessary in order to grow, is the wrong attitude.
It is so easy to remain comfortable, to keep what is easy, what is known and what is secure.
And your FUS thoughts, your imagination controlled by your FUS will always cause you to be unwilling to face a challenge, to confront change when change is necessary.
Ed Stetzer who is considered a "guru" on how and why religious organizations grow and die says that the number one reason is a group of FUSy people will attack the leader who calls them to change, calls them to sacrifice what is easy for what is hard, that calls them to give up what is comfortable for the fight, that calls them to take the future and let go of the past.
They will pour out their FUSy thoughts on the leader, create a murmer in the organization and eventually the leader quits, is foreced out or compromises the future for the sake of the FUS.
Ed Stetzer the result is always the same, "they have accepted an attitude of defeat," killed the future for the sake of comfort and accepted a slow death.

The Scriptures Say
6.1.
FUS Thinking Leads to FUS Living
The Bible says that FUS thinking leads to defeating living.
The Scriptures say it this way, "The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in GOD protects you from that." (Proverbs 29:25).
Some of our older folks remember the KJV of this verse:
Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but one who trusts in ADONAI
will be kept safe.
If you constantly cave to your FUSy thoughts or to the FUSy thoughts of others.
You will see God's dream from your life from a distance, from a mountaintop moment in your life but because of Fear, Uncertainty and Second Guessing you will not take the land.
You will give up on the dream.
That is why FUS is a snare and it disables.
FUS thoughts love to steal, kill and destroy God's abundance for your life, His joy in your life, His plan for your promotion, your dream, your marriage.
The Only Thing Strong Enough to Fight FUS is Faith
6.1.1.
Fight FUS with Faith
6.1.1.1.
1 Cor 10:4-5 Wage War Against FUS thoughts
6.1.1.1.1.
Jeremiah 1
6Then I said, “Alas, ADONAI Elohim!
Look, I don’t know how to speak!
For I’m still a boy!”
7But ADONAI answered me,
“Do not say ‘I’m only a boy!’
For to everyone I send you,
you will go,
and all I command you,
you will speak.
8Do not be afraid of them!
For I am with you to deliver you.”
It is a declaration of ADONAI.
9Then ADONAI stretched out His hand and touched my mouth and ADONAI said to me,
“Behold, I have put My words
in your mouth.
10See, today I have appointed you
