Article - Overcoming Your Fear

I am fascinated by the way lions hunt. I ’ ve read that it ’ s the lionesses that actually do the “ lion ’ s share ” of the work. The males are obviously incredibly intimidating, with their manes and their ferocious roars, but it ’ s the chicks you really have to watch out for. The fact that lionesses do not have a big, recognizable mane actually helps them sneak up on whatever they are hunting. They lie in wait, hidden in the tall grass, motionless like statues. I listened to a sermon by Pastor Brian Houston in which he said that the males do play an important, albeit small, role.

He was sad that there was no land more to conquer.  He had control over all the wealth of the world. One of his sick bed wishes before he died at age 33 was that the wealth he had accumulated should be scattered on the road along the procession to the cemetery to let everybody know that material wealth acquired on earth will be left here on earth.”  Many youth seek after material things without seeking to be closer to God. They admire corrupt and godless people some of whom acquire power and wealth from demons.  Power belongs to God and only He can sincerely give us long life to enjoy a little of what we acquire on earth. The abundance of His kingdom is for those who live holy and serve Him now.  As you ...
