Introduction
5-year old Johnny was in the kitchen as his mother made supper.
She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn't want to go in alone.
"It's dark in there and I'm scared."
She asked again, and he persisted.
Finally she said, "It's OK--Jesus will be in there with you."
Johnny walked hesitantly to the door and slowly opened it.
He peeked inside, saw it was dark, and started to leave when all at once an idea came, and he said: "Jesus, if you're in there, would you hand me that can of tomato soup?"
This young boy was pretty sharp even though his fear was irrational and we adults are aware that it was irrational.
Fear, something we have all experienced is one of the tactics Satan uses to cause us to not act on our faith in God.
Fear will motivate us to break God’s law.
Fear motivated Abram to lie about Sarai.
God rescued Abram from his own self.
You would think that Abram had learned that when it came to keeping Sarai and himself safe in a foreign land, God could be trusted.
But in Genesis 20 Abram who had now become so close with God that God changed his name to Abraham was motivated by the same fear.
Again God intervenes to save Abraham from himself.
Both times fear motivated Abraham to lie about his relationship with Sarah.
You cannot convince me that Abraham did not know that God looked negatively on lying.
But fear motivated him into a lie.
Fear will motivate us not to fight.
In 1 Samuel 17 it was fear that motivated Saul to not fight against Goliath.
It was the place of the King to lead God’s armies into battle.
Saul feared death and he feared losing the battle to Goliath.
He feared losing the kingdom God had given to him.
When he should have been ending the war.
He was instead hiding in his tent allowing fear to overcome the camp.
Every time that Goliath called for Israel to send a man, Saul should have been that man.
Saul stood above all the other Israelites.
Each time Goliath called out “give me a man that we may fight.”
Saul ignoring his request brought fear to the entire camp.
Fear motivated Saul to stay in his tent.
Fear motivated Saul to allow a shepherd boy to walk onto the battle field to face a giant.
Fear will motivate us to deny Jesus.
Fear motivated Peter to deny Jesus.
Three times Peter would deny Jesus because he feared the uncertainty of the situation.
Fear will motivate you to lie, to hide, and to deny Jesus.
God has not called us to fear, but to faith.
Faith trusts God even when fear is telling us to abandon that trust.
If fear has been plaguing you.
You need to be baptized in the Spirit.
Instead of the spirit of fear.
He has given us His Spirit.
Power
Jesus said;
You shall receive “dunamis” miraculous power.
The same word used in 2 Timothy.
When you receive the Spirit you will receive power that you have not had.
Love
He has given us love.
Love toward one another.
It is easy to love Him, because He loved us first.
But how do we treat the believers around us? Do we love them?
In that love fear is cast out.
If you love God, you will love His children.
Sound Mind
A sound mind is self control.
He has given us self control in troubled times.
When fear should cause us to react, the Spirit he gives us helps us to have self control.
Altar Music
Fear
Fear caused Abraham to lie, Saul to hide, and Peter to deny.
None of them had the Spirit.
Peter did receive the Spirit and we can see a radical transformation.
Thirty days after denying Jesus because of the uncertainty of what may happen.
Peter under great pressure, stands to proclaim Jesus and His promises.
The baptism of the Spirit will change your life.
It will make you do things you never thought you could or would.
Where Peter would have hid and denied what was happening before, now he lifts up his voice to be sure everyone can hear him.
The answer for fear is the baptism of the Spirit.
