TURNING OFF FEAR
Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (Living Bible)

1. RECOGNIZE FEAR AS AN _____________

The Spirit God gave us does not make us afraid. His Spirit is a source of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 (ERV)

16 So we know the love that God has for us, and we trust that love. God is love. Everyone who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in them. 17 If God’s love is made perfect in us, we can be without fear on the day when God judges the world. We will be without fear, because in this world we are like Jesus. 18 Where God’s love is, there is no fear, because God’s perfect love takes away fear. It is his punishment that makes a person fear. So His love is not made perfect in the one who has fear. 1 John 4:16-18 (ERV)

2. TO ____________ FEAR IS TO ___________ GOD

10 Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Psalm 46:10-11 (NKJv)

10 Our God says, “Calm down, and learn that I am God! All nations on earth will honor Me.” 11 The Lord All-Powerful is with us. The God of Jacob is our fortress. Psalm 46:10-11 (CEV)

3. TO TURN OFF FEAR, TURN ON _____________

21 Jesus went back to the other side of the lake in the boat. There, a large crowd of people gathered around Him on the shore. 22 A leader of the synagogue came. His name was Jairus. He saw Jesus and bowed down before Him. 23 He begged Jesus again and again, saying, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and lay Your hands on her. Then she will be healed and will live.” 24 So Jesus went with Jairus. Many people followed Jesus. They were pushing very close around Him. Mark 5:21-24 (ERV)

35 While Jesus was still there speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. They said, “Your daughter is dead. There is no need to bother the Teacher.” 36 But Jesus did not care what the men said. He said to the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” 37 Jesus let only Peter, James, and John the brother of James go with Him. 38 They went to the synagogue leader’s house, where Jesus saw many people crying loudly. There was a lot of confusion. 39 He entered the house and said, “Why are you people crying and making so much noise? This child is not dead. She is only sleeping.” 40 But everyone laughed at Him. Jesus told the people to leave the house. Then He went into the room where the child was. He brought the child’s father and mother and His three followers into the room with Him. 41 Then Jesus held the girl’s hand and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” (This means “Little girl, I tell you to stand up!”) 42 The girl immediately stood up and began walking. (She was twelve years old.) The father and mother and the followers were amazed. Mark 5:35-42 (ERV)

5 When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer[a] came and pleaded with Him, 6 “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.” 7 Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come into my home. Just say the word from where You are, and my servant will be healed. 9 I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, He was amazed. Turning to those who were following Him, He said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel! Matthew 8:5-10 (NLT)

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.Romans 10:17 (NKJV)
