The Benefits of Process to the Kingdom pt.6


2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”


2 Timothy 1:7 AMP “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.”

One of the biggest hindrances to us manifesting is fear. We have to attack this issue head-on. I can tell when people are dealing with fear in their lives by what comes out of their mouth. Your speech will betray you. We are continuing in this teaching on process dealing with the issue of fear so that we can boldly walk into the manifestation God has for us.

9. Process removes – fear, which tries to hinder us

A. Process will break the spirit of fear and cause to walk out your purpose boldly, even if you don’t have what the world says you need to do what you do.

Acts 4:13 NLT "The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.”

B.    Process will embolden you to the place that even in the face of threats, you will obey God.

Acts 4:29 ISV "Lord, pay attention to their threats now, and allow your servants to speak your word boldly “

Acts 23:11 ISV "That night the Lord stood near Paul and said, "Have courage! For just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, you must testify in Rome, too.”

2 Chron.15:8 "And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD."

C.    Process will bring you to a place where fear is no longer an option. It will cause you to not care what anyone thinks as long as God is glorified.

Phil.1:20 NLT "For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.”

Ps.112:8 NLT "They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.

In these times we are living in, as the body of Christ and citizens of His Kingdom we must stand boldly on the Word of God and cast out the spirit of fear. We must not compromise or give into fear based on what we see, but live by God's Word.

This is the greatest hour of the true Church. Be aware that there is an apostate church that is very active in the world today. Do not compromise God's Word. Stand boldly in the power, love and sound mind God has given you!
