All The Voices In My Head
Fear Grows Wherever God’s Truth Becomes Uncertain
Genesis 3:1-7 - Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.
Whatever you are afraid of is afraid of Jesus
Proverbs 28:1 - The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
“Did God really say…”
1. Fear Begins When God’s Voice Becomes Uncertain
Genesis 3:1-3 - Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
The serpent doesn’t use force. He only asks questions
2. Truth Begins When God’s Voice Becomes Certain
Matthew 4:3-4 - And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God (Identity), command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
3. Fear Loses Its Power When We Trust God’s Word
2 Timothy 3:16-17 - All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
This is why I love the Gospel!
The GOSPEL:
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news that God, in His love, sent His Son Jesus to live a sinless life, die on the cross for our sins, and rise again in victory over death. Through faith in Jesus, we are forgiven, reconciled to God, and given the gift of eternal life.
This gospel calls us to repent, believe, and follow Jesus as Lord, living transformed lives by the power of His Spirit.
