  3. 1John 4:16-17 NLT How does Love develop? 16…God is love, ... 17… as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence ... • Perfect:‘mature, enables God to love others through us’ • “love grows” actively today; gives eternal confidence

  4. 1John 4:18 NLT How does Fear Develop? 18Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. • Love & fear are incompatible • Fear is a belief, ‘that something can & WILL go wrong!’ • Fear makes slaves… attached to SOMEONE or SOMETHING

  6. Mark 12:30 NLT How am I Shaped by God? 30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. Mind = dianoia : imagination, understanding Heart = kardia : the centre, deep core of thoughts feelings Soul= psyche : breathe, vitality Strength= ischys: power, strength, ability

  7. How do the heart and mind work together? Mind • we listen • we react • we learn • we decide Heart • we hear • we reflect, ponder • we change • we are transformed “Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!” Psalm 31:24

  8. MIND – Gateway to the HEART If you don’t want it in your heart don’t have it in your mind Lodges information, reacts and responds to situations, listens but might not hear… Needs transforming: Romans 12:2 (NIV) Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. HEART – framework for our MIND Reflects who we are – Proverbs 27:19 (NLT2) As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person. Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) For as he thinks in his heart, so is he Speaks the truth - Matthew 12:34 (NLT2) For whatever is in your heart determines what you say. Holds your treasure - Matthew 6:21 (KJV) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Stores instruction - Proverbs 3:1 (NLT2) My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart. Contemplates answers - Proverbs 15:28 (NLT2) The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking Needs guarding - Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

  9. We don't believe something by merely saying we believe it, ... We believe something when we act as if it were true. Dallas Willard

  10. 1Sam 17:32-33 NIV What Damage Comes from Fear? 32David said to Saul, ‘Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.’ 33 Saul replied, ‘You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.’ • Fear says NO; wrong focus…direction…decisions • Any and all parts of life …

  11. 1Sam 17:36-37 NIV Where does confidence come from? 36Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, ... 37The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.’ • God builds CONFIDENCE – refined through experience. • Decisions, Direction, Defeat (single stone)

  12. Psalm 56:3-4 ESV “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4 …in God I trust; I shall not be afraid…” • God will Defeat your • Giants… through You

  13. Rom 8:14-15 NLT How Does Authority Build Courage? 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearfulslaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” • Fear steals YOUR God-given power - slavery. • Adoption gives back AUTHORITY in Christ!
