March 21/22, 2020- Choosing Faith Over Fear How To Face Your Giants
SERMON THEME
During these times where many things are unknown, it seems like we are in a hopeless situation. We are experiencing a divine reset, resetting our values to KINGDOM values. Fear has four destructive steps. Fear causes us to: 1. Focus on our problems, 2. Expect only defeat, 3. Have an attitude of self-protection and 4. Reap the results of fear. We took a look at the famous account of David and Goliath to learn about fear vs. faith.
SCRIPTURES
1 Samuel 17 (NLT); James 3:3-5
Discuss and Reflect - 5 Things David Did That We Need To Do
He ignored the negativity of others (his brothers and other leaders).
He faced his Goliath head on.
He reminded himself of the faithfulness of God.
He ran TO the battle, not FROM it.
He proclaimed that GOD was his source of strength.
PRAYER POINT / DECLARATION
We decree a move of intercession across California! God’s people are humbling themselves praying, seeking His face, turning from their wicked ways and He is hearing from heaven and healing our land.
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
We decree there is a remnant of God’s people in California being filled with God’s glory! This remnant will activate a release of the word of God throughout this state and the entire nation.
And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, And bear fruit upward.
Isaiah 37:31 (NKJV)
Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. Isaiah 60:1-2 (NKJV)
But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. James 1:25 (ESV)
