Memory Of the Heart
Monday, January 15, 2007
Today, been listening to Dr A R Bernard’s sermon. The title is ‘Memory of the Heart’. I’m really blessed by this sermon. It makes be understand myself better. Some examples would be how I feel the way I feel now, why sometimes I’m fearful in stepping out in new challenges in life, etc.
I really enjoyed the sermon, he dealt with mainly two parts; the heart, and fear.
The heart
The heart can store memories too. For woman, when we remember things, we tend to remember how we felt at that point of time first, and after that, we are able to recall all the details just by recalling the feeling we had. For man, they tend to remember the summary of things happened.
And he also said many examples on how woman and man react when certain scenarios took place.
Fear
The first emotion when man first fall. Adam hid himself from the presence of God in the garden of Eden as he was afraid. Fear should be dealt with first once we got saved. Satan gets his power through fear. He does things that cause the atmosphere of fear, so that he can keep you in his bondage.
Fear has the magnetic, just like faith. Fear will attract what you really fear most. God has not given the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. If no fear, then there is power, love, and sound mind. Satan wants to keep fear there, then he can continue to rob us from sound mind.
Fear, fear of failure.
Fear of venturing into new business, fear of doing more things for God, fear of going into new ground, fear of engaging into new relationships.
We tend to be afraid of failing. We do not want to have the feeling of fear. And many times, we do things out of fear, and not faith.
Fear causes us to bury our gifts, just like the servant that has one talent. The servant cherish it, to an extent that he don’t want to use it. And that servant blamed his master for his lack of productivity.
Sometimes we’re like this, we tend to blame others on our own failure.
How to remove fear from our lives?
Let love drive out that fear, the perfect love of God.
Many times when we are afraid, we felt that we’re alone, be convinced that God is always with you. Have the assurance in your heart that God will be there to protect you and will never let anything happen to you.
Father God says, ‘I will not let anything happen to you, I will never leave you or forsake you. Don‘t be afraid.’
God love Jesus so much. So much till Jesus have confidence to go into the grave and trusted His Father will raise Him from the dead.
Bible said that God’s love for us, is the same as the way He love Jesus.
The love that is so great, that is greater than any obstacles ahead.
Abba Father, sorry that I didn’t trusted you enough. Many times I tend to do things my own way. Truly many times I’m afraid, afraid to fail. Many things been kept aside, cause I am just like the servant with one talent. I am afraid that this little talent will not be enough to make things happen. Many times, I’m afraid to fail, really afraid that one mistake could cripple my life. Many times, I am living life out of fear, not of trust in You.
Lord, may I know You in a deeper level of who You are. May I have a greater revelation of calling You ‘Abba Father’. Lord, I love You. I release all my fears into Your hands. Let Your love cover and heal my fearful heart. I can trust in You, I can rely on You.
Thank You God. You loves me, I truly understands, I truly experienced, I truly believe.
