Facing Insurmountable Odds: Part 3 I Am Not Afraid Series

I am Not Afraid 

Part 3 “Facing Insurmountable Odds”

 

1Samuel 17: 32 -37 NLT  

Matthew 21:18 - 22 NLT  

Recognize when you’re faced with Mountains that are bigger, taller and stronger than your personal abilities or earthy resources.  Rely on the resource of your faith (Your faith is a reservoir that holds the resources you need) 

The odds are only against you in this natural realm; in the unseen world, you are always over resourced!  

How do Face Insurmountable Odds? 

See the solution, not the problem 1Cor 10: 9 – 13 ESV 
If it’s too hard for you to see it, it will be too hard for you to do it; you have to respond to your mountains with the unlimited resources of God’s kingdom.  

You have your limits, this world has its limits but the Kingdom of God knows No limit!  

 

Remember your prior victories no matter how small they are compared to your current challenges 

 

David used his victory over a bear and lion to build his faith to defeat his giant  

Victory is progressive (little by little God brings us into our promised land blessing).

 

Don’t allow the “Do Nothing” people to influence your act of faith!   

 

People who are afraid of failing don’t want someone to prove them wrong and show it’s possible.  The spirit (MINDSET) of Eliab is usually connected to people who are related or familiar to you.  

Conclusion:  Conquer your Mt. Everest “You can Out Grow your Fear” 

 “As M. Dunham wrote, "Sir Edmund Hilary was the first person to conquer Mt. Everest. The first time he tried, he failed. He was knighted by the Queen of England, and at the gala occasion, on the wall behind the head table, was a huge picture of Mt. Everest. The people gave him a standing ovation for even daring to attempt the climb. When they ceased applauding, Hilary turned his back to the audience, faced that picture and said, "Mt. Everest, you have defeated me once and you might defeat me again. But I'm coming back again and again, and I'm going to win because you can't get any bigger, Mt. Everest, and I can."

Faith is not the absence of fear (your heart can be filled with faith while your mind is filled with fear)  Don’t let fear win!
