Session 4 - Email

It was an absolutely wonderful session looking straight into Esther's life of going from self-preservation to brave determination! We took a good look at facing "fear" and looking at the definition of the Proverbs 31 "virtuous/noble" woman passage." Gideon was told, God is with you, mighty man of valor. Valor being the same as virtuous/noble. We are to be brave in whatever we might be facing! Be not afraid, do not fear - who knows? I am the Lord your God! We should know!

I love some other strong points such as the following:

We can protect ourselves right out of our calling.
You are the only person who you are and will be responsible with before God. Are you heading in the direction you want to end up?
There is no denial in courage. Face your "issues" head on!
No need to fear death - We were already dead and now we are alive in Christ.
Phil 1:6 He is faithful to complete it!
Don't live fearfully.
Don't make decisions out of fear but out of wisdom.
1 John 4:18 Perfect love casts out fear.
Ps 138:8 All things which concerns thee, He'll perfect! (All things - love that part!!!)

Remember the homework, it is wonderful so far - I've finished up to day 3! Okay, I have to share "one" thing that was awesome to see on Day One - Our conditional trust not only makes us an open target for enemy torment; it also positions us as negotiators and beggars before God instead of secure children who trust their lives to their faithful Father!

We need to trust Him - period!!! If ______________________, then God!

Blessings of God's abundant love, peace and joy rain down on you mighty this weekend!
See you Wednesday night Lord willing!
