Here is the notes and a Worksheet I designed for the meeting:
Women's Bible Study: Grow More In The
Lord
Fear - Oct. 3/13
I took this picture in Millet, AB in 2012
Vision:
To have a small group bible study to learn more about God and improve our
relationship with Him. To make a support and prayer network where we can feel
comfortable.
This is not a closed group. I
am the leader, but I'm also a student.
-give out slips & pen to
women. What is your greatest fear? Don't sign them. Give each an envelope to
put the slip in. Put them on the coffee table and pray over them. Take them
home to pray about their fear and bring it to the next meeting.
Every woman struggles with Fear in one form or another -
pain, loss, what others will think of us?
There's a stigma that if women admit their fear, then they are needy,
clingy or insecure.
We can't let the Demons of Fear fill our minds with dread
and doubt. This is Human Fear.
There is another Fear - Godly Fear - This a spiritual
attitude that will draw us deeper into our relationship with God. God's word makes it clear that fear is the
proper response to a holy God.
The Hebrew word for Fear is Yare: meaning 'standing in
awe'. This fear evokes Faith, but the Human Fear revokes it.
Human Fear causes us to ask 'What if... " - we need to
change that question to 'What now...'. So we are in a position to hear from
God. Its up to you to build walls or
build roads.
-Now think about what your approach to following Jesus is?
Do you view Him a Jesus Lord, Master and Owner? Why or Why not?
God asked His disciples to drop everything and just follow
Him. With what was in their pockets and the cloths on their backs. If He came to your tomorrow how would you
feel? How intensely would you listen? How seriously would you take His words?
Could you drop everything and follow Him?
-Do you think you could go up to someone and talk about
God? Why or why not?
Are these excuses or Fears?
Whom has God placed in your life that can teach you to
follow Jesus? Can they help you also face your fears?
1 John 4:18 (there is no fear
in love)
Psalm 119:120 (I stand in awe
of your laws)
Psalm 103:11 & 17 (great
is His love for those that fear Him)
Luke 8:37 (Have we sent Him
away?)
The only way to overcome your
Fears is to Love Him and serve Him (Duet 10:12)
(Psalm 33:18) (Eph 6:10-11, armour of God)
There are two verses I would
like you to memorize or meditate on this week:
Psalm 147:11 and 1 John 4:18
Prayer: Ask
God to work in your heart and prepare you for what's ahead this week.
Remember:
You don't need all the answers - He calls you to follow wherever He May Lead!
