God has not given us the spirit of fear, but power love and a sound mind!
Big Idea: Dont be afraid! Greater is He that is IN you!!
When we go back to school we NEED to not be afraid and take a stand!
Take a stand:
1. God
2. Convictions (gossip)
3. Peer Pressure
4. Abstinence
5. Temptations
- drugs
- drinking
How do we get rid of fear and take a stand?
1. Seek it
Luke 7:9
Seek and you will find
We have to look for it! Its found first through a relationship with Christ, second through His word! Through these we can find boldness, strength, and encouragement!
2. Ask for it
Matt.7:7
Ask and it will be given to you!
Once we seek it, we have to ask Him for it! He knows our needs, but He wont force Himself on you
3. Believe it
Mark 11:23
And if you have no doubt in your mind and believe that what you say will happen, God will do it for you!
We have to believe that He will do what He says He can do! Most of the time we stop at asking! We doubt if He can really give us strength, boldness, and encouragement! So believe!
4. Quote it
Hebrews 4:12
Gods word is living and active! Sharper than any two edged sword!
We have to learn that once we seek it, ask for it, then believe it, we have to keep quoting it! Once we find a scripture then we say it OVER AND OVER until we can understand it and it makes a difference
5. Link it
Proverbs 27:17
iron sharpens iron
Find people that believe the same way we do and link up with them!! Connect with them so we dont fail!
