Fear, doubt and worry, What should I DO?
We are made of body, soul, and Spirit. Each of them has their own voice.
The voice of the body are your feelings. You react based on how you feel, which can be in forms of emotions.
The voice of the soul is logic and reasoning. You ask yourself questions like: Does this make sense? Or if I do this and that, this will be the result.
Both the voice of the body and soul feeds on information and reprocess it. Without any information, those voices are silent and have nothing to say.
The voice of the Spirit is our conscience. It is a sensing, a knowing, without a need of any information. It is called the inner witness, where the Spirit of God is bearing witness with your Spirit in a situation. God’s Spirit is a knowing Spirit.
Paul put it this way in 1 Cor 2:12 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God
We know because we have received the Spirit of God.
The deep things of God became available to us the moment we received the Spirit which is at the point of salvation.
Hence, we can boldly say we have access to the knowledge of God because we have His Spirit. Because of that, God’s ways have become our ways, God’s thoughts have become our thoughts. We know His ways and thoughts because we have His Spirit
The Spirit of God always leads us. One of the easier ways to obtained direction from God Spirit is through perception. Just as Paul perceive in the Spirit that the man setting at Lystra had faith to be healed. Or when he perceives that the voyage will be damage.
To perceive is to know, to stand and watch, to step out of yourself and watch. It sometimes comes in a form of a vision.
Through the perception of the Spirit, we have been giving direct inside to the happenings of the world.
Perception of the Spirit is not found in fear, doubt or worry. In the midst of all these things it is hard to hear God clearly.
In 2 Tim 1:7 it is writing: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
The perception of the Spirit does not make you to be afraid. The Spirit of fear does not recognize with the way God works. In 1 John 4:16-18 we see that God is Love and there is no fear in Love.
God doesn’t lead by doubt, for doubt is an absent of Faith.
God doesn’t lead by worries. It is written that we should be careful for nothing which means not to worry about anything. In Math 6:31 it is said, we should take no thoughts. His Spirit is not going to guide you in the midst of worry, fear or doubt. For at that point of time there is too much noise for you to hear the Spirit of God clearly.
Now, the question is: what do we do when we find ourselves in the midst of fear, doubt and worry?
First thing first, mediate on the word of God. Jos 1:8 says 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Mediation as a way to quite the noise of fear
Mediation as a way to quite the noise of worry
Mediation as a way to quite the noise of doubt
