Speaker 1: Famly? Welcome back to another episode of Living Boldly with

17
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,280
Doctor Z, the space where we lean into faith, purpose

18
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:29,159
and the boldness God placed in each of us. Oh wow,

19
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:40,599
welcome back ball once Bo. Today, I want to speak

20
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,120
directly to your heart with this message. Faith over fear,

21
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,079
trust in God. And in certain times it's just something

22
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:55,000
that we have to do. I know sometimes with things

23
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,159
that's going on in this world and in life, it's hard,

24
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:01,760
you know, just trust in God for some of us.

25
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,120
But trusting in God is the best way to go.

26
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,800
And because let's be real, life, get hit hard. I mean,

27
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:16,199
whoo it can be like a hurricane that hit you,

28
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:20,639
you know, just just tear up everything. You know. Life

29
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,280
can hit hard, bills can stack up, you know, relationships

30
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,360
get tested, our health and our dreams, our peace of mind,

31
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:34,120
you know, all of it can feel like it's you know,

32
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:38,000
on the edge. And in those moments, you know, fear

33
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,360
wants to creep in and take the dry receipt. But

34
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:45,240
you know, today I want to remind you that fear

35
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,439
may not but it doesn't have to move in, you know,

36
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,280
because we serve a God who is bigger than any

37
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,520
storm that may come our way. Now, I'm gonna give

38
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:02,120
some scripture foundation on this topic. Second Timothy, first through

39
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,960
seventh verse, it says, for God has not given us

40
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,960
the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a

41
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,120
sound mind. Let that sink in fear is not from God.

42
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,919
Power is love is a sound mind is So anytime

43
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:25,800
first shows up, we need to recognize that it's not

44
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,800
heaven sin no, no, no no, And we don't want

45
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,520
well and we don't have to agree with it. Okay, yeah,

46
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,479
I like, yeah, I was gonna say, want to some

47
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,719
of us don't want to, but we don't have to

48
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:41,919
agree with it. When it comes our way. You know,

49
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:48,000
Fear does paralyze, but faith mobilizes and it gets us going.

50
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,560
You know, Fear tells you to shrink, but faith tells

51
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:57,240
you to rise. Fear tells you what if it all

52
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,439
goes wrong? But Faith says, but what if God shows up?

53
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,479
Like he always does? And you know what, that's one

54
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,159
thing God does for me and my family. He always

55
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,240
shows up, and he shows up right on time. And

56
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:15,560
sometimes it's not about having a whole plan, it's about

57
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:18,680
trusting the one who holds the plan. And you know

58
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,839
that's God. And I know that's not easy all the time.

59
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,959
Trust me. You know, I've had my own seasons of

60
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,560
wrestling with the unknown. But and every moment when I

61
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,959
choose faith, God met me there, you know. And God

62
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,480
has been there for me throughout every obstacle that I've

63
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:39,600
been through in my life. Heith, I'm a living witness.

64
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,040
I have a testimony, you know. And I know that's

65
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:45,240
one thing that you guys were here throughout each episode

66
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,519
of Living Bowling with Doctor Z because this is my

67
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,240
own personal testimony in this show of things that I've

68
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,959
actually experienced and been through in my life. So let's

69
00:04:54,959 --> 00:05:00,319
pause and reflect I want you to ask yourself, where

70
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,879
have I been letting fear drive my decisions. Also another

71
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,160
question you can ask yourself is what would it look

72
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,399
like to give God full control again? You know, sometimes

73
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:18,639
we think trusting God means we won't feel afraid, but

74
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:22,680
that's not it. Trusting God means we move forward anyway,

75
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:27,240
holding His promises tighter than a problem in front of us.

76
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:33,160
And some practical ways to walk in faith over fear

77
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:37,959
is I'll say, start your day in prayer and the

78
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,319
Word and feed your faith daily, and you know that

79
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:46,959
helps so much. Speak God's promises out loud, you know,

80
00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:51,439
replace fear filled thoughts with the truth. And another thing

81
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:58,800
is surround yourself with bold believers bond because we're not

82
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,839
meant to walk this alone, so don't forget about your tribe.

83
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,399
And also lend me your intake of fear based media.

84
00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:11,959
Protect your spirit at all times. And also another thing

85
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:15,079
you can do is journal what God has already done

86
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,399
for you. Your past victories are proof that He's not done

87
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,600
with you yet, and there's so much more to come.

88
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:26,839
So let me be real with you. There were times

89
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,000
I didn't see the way ahead. Times I cried out, God,

90
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,319
are you still with me. And in those moments, I

91
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,800
didn't need all the answers. I just needed to remember

92
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:45,759
who God is, faithful, present, and undefeated. Woo. You know

93
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,879
they always say that that Internet is undefeated, but guess

94
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:53,000
what the God is undefeated? Is that nobody's defeated him ever.

95
00:06:54,279 --> 00:07:00,480
Now I want to get into a bold prayer. Boo, God,

96
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:08,680
let me pray over you real quick. Father. For every

97
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:13,560
person listening right now, I speak peace, I speak boldness,

98
00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:18,639
I speak trust. Remind them that you are with them

99
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,720
and the fire in the valley, in the silence, let

100
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:28,040
faith rise up where fear tried to settle in. Let

101
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,560
them remember who they are and more importantly, whose they are.

102
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:39,600
In Jesus' name, we pray Amen. Now, I want to

103
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,199
thank you for spending this time with me today. And

104
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,600
if this message blessed you, please share it with someone

105
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,360
who needs a reminder to choose faith over fear. And

106
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,439
remember your faith is not weak because you feel afraid.

107
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:03,000
Your faith is powerful because you keep going anyway, you know,

108
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,920
And that's one thing that you have to remember, is

109
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:11,079
you gotta keep going because that's what God would want

110
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,519
you to do. He would want you to keep going.

111
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,199
He would want you to stop. He wouldn't want you

112
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:22,920
to allow fear to take over. Okay, So before I go,

113
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,199
I just want to say that keep living, Bowley family.

114
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:39,480
This is doctor Z signing off. I love y'all, y'all,
