When the Bible tells us to “be” or “not be” something, how do I know if I am in the state of being that I’m told to “be”? We are taking a break from our study on the gifts to look more at a topic we dipped into in this past Wednesday night’s service that generated some interest. Specifically, how do I know if I am “troubled” or “afraid?” If you were asked “are you troubled?” Our answers would probably vary. What scripture would you go to that shows you what troubled or afraid is? Anytime there is not absolute certainty on a topic, opinions will vary and this leaves room for the enemy to sow wrong doctrine and build false expectations. My hope is that when we are finished today you can know exactly how God defines a troubled or fearful person.
