FEARLESS Part 6 - “Embracing Fearless Living” Revelation 12:11

August 6, 2023

Part 5 - The Fear of the Lord

The fear of the Lord is the “awe of God”. It’s to live in worshipful awe, reverence and devotion; to revere and worship Him.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom —Proverbs 9:10.

When we act in fear, we are operating in flight or fight. Some people call this is the lizard part of brain – the limbic cortex.

We don’t want to live in that part of the brain.

Imagination, and creative thinking all activated in the bilateral hippocampus.

This is where we want to live

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. —Revelation 12:11

1. They Triumphed by the

of the Lamb

  • There is Power, more powerful than dynamite , there is a force unmatched in the universe in the Blood of the Lamb, shed for us, by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ

  • Just as the Israelites were spared from the enemy’s attacks through the blood of the lamb was placed on the doorposts, we are spared from the enemy’s attacks through the Blood of the Lamb.

  • Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty —Zechariah 4:6

  • In His Blood we find redemption, freedom, forgiveness and victory over fear.

  • This crimson river washes away every sin, every stain and empowers us to rise above every challenge, and every trial.

2. Unleashing the

of your testimony

  • Your testimony is a weapon, a force that can break chains and shatter strongholds.

  • It is a like a beacon of light that guides others out of darkness

  • Revelation 19:10 “> For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. —Revelation 19:10

  • When you speak your testimony, you are not just talking about the past ; you actually speaking life into your present and your future

  • Your declaring Victory over every challenge and setback

3. Embrace

in God’s Promises

  • “They did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death” This is a call to live fearlessly, to embrace a life of boldness and purpose

  • In a world obsessed with self preservation and self comfort, God calls us to a radical, courageous kind of living.

    • This doesn’t merely mean physical death, but dying to self, to fear to comfort zones.

-It is about being willing to face opposition, ridicule, and even persecution for the sake of Christ and His Kingdom

  • When you anchor your life in God’s promises, fear has room to take hold.

  • For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it —Matthew 16:25

  • You can step out in faith, pursue your dreams and face challenges head-on knowing that God is with you.

  • Let go of any fear of failure, rejection, or even fear of the unknown.

  • Your destiny is greater any fear, any doubt and His Blood and your testimony has secured the victory.
