Positive Thinking DoctorSeveral of Jesus' disciples were fishermen, and occasionally Jesus used their boats to travel to his next destination.
One evening they were crossing the Sea of Galilee with Jesus asleep in the stern of the boat. While they were underway, a fierce squall arose, and the wind and waves threatened to overwhelm their boat. They were taking on water as each new wave washed over them, and it was only a matter of time before they would sink if the situation didn't rapidly improve.
This was a true emergency; these fishermen were not over-reacting when they thought they might die during this storm. Everyone who has been in a storm at sea knows exactly how they felt.
Jesus slept through the storm until the fishermen woke him up and said, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" Jesus rebuked the wind and waves, and the storm immediately subsided. Then Jesus said to his comrades, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
Why wasn't Jesus afraid?
Jesus knew that he didn't come into this world to drown in the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was following God's plan, and death by drowning definitely wasn't in the plan. Jesus had such close fellowship with God that he knew God's plan by heart from start to finish. Jesus knew he had nothing to fear from a storm at sea.
The disciples didn't know that God wouldn't allow them to perish in the storm. They didn't understand God's plan, and their hearts were full of fear. The same thing often happens with us.
Without a close personal relationship with God, we don't understand his plan, and our hearts are full of fear.
When our fellowship with God becomes up close and personal, for the first time we understand his plan, and we put our faith in it. We know that if we follow his plan, nothing can happen to us until the plan has run its full course. Once we have faith in his plan, we no longer have any reason to fear.
Faith naturally flows into your heart when you trust God.. Faith is a product of trust, and fear is a product of distrust. When you trust God to take you through the storms of life, faith naturally wells up in your heart. You don't need to muster your faith. It's not something you do. Faith happens to you, because God puts it in your heart and mind when you trust him.
Jesus made it clear that fear has no place in the heart of a child of God. When you have a personal relationship with God and follow God's plan, you have nothing to fear.
People of faith know that it's never over until God says it's over. God is trustworthy, and if you put your trust in him, a tidal wave of faith will sweep through your life.
NO ONE CAN FORCE YOU TO BE AFRAID
Fear doesn’t float around in outer space and suddenly drop like a meteor into your mind.
There are no fear factories that manufacture it, and stores that sell it.
No matter where you go, you will never find a single molecule of fear anywhere in the universe.
Nothing in the outside world can make you afraid. Only you can make it happen.
Fear is the result of how you run your mind.
Plenty of bad things will happen to you in your lifetime.
You must decide whether you will think fearful thoughts about those bad things. It’s your choice.
No one can force you to be afraid.
No one is going to drive a dump truck of fear up to your mind and dump it in.
Your mind is your own domain. If it’s full of fearful thoughts, it’s because you put them there, and you are the only one who can make them go away.
Nothing is more effective in breaking the back of fear than positive action coupled with the power of God’s love.
When positive action and God’s love come in the front door, fearful thoughts head for the emergency exit.
Positive action always drives fear from your mind. When fear pokes up its ugly head, you must decapitate it with positive action.
In medical school, I spent six months training in the specialty of anesthesia. Before the start of a surgical procedure, I gave my patients a muscle blocker to paralyze them so I could put a tube in their airway and breathe for them during surgery.
When the operation was over, I gave them a different medication to reverse the effects of the muscle blocker. I injected the drug intravenously, and the patient’s paralysis disappeared in just a few seconds.
Love is the antidote for fear and interacts with fear in a similar manner.
Fear is an extremely powerful agent that paralyzes you and keeps you from moving in the direction of your dreams.
As long as you are under the influence of fear, you stay right where you are.
When you open your heart and mind to God’s love, fear no longer paralyzes you and controls your life.
God made your heart and mind so there isn’t enough room for both love and fear at the same time.
If your heart is full of love, there is no room for fear.
Since God’s love is the most powerful force in the universe, there is no contest when love and fear compete for space. Fear is sent into exile as long as you keep your heart and mind focused on the power of God’s love.
If you are having a problem with fear, you need to refocus on God’s love.
The Bible says that perfect love casts out fear.
You need to remember that God is your Father and you are his child. Nothing in the entire universe can separate you from his love.
Let the sunshine of God’s love melt the icy grip that fear has on your life.
