Elevate Law of Success Part 1

fear becomes an adversary when success looks like a mountain and then watch this and if you're not careful you'll forget what God promised you forget who God is in you and Paul says don't you forget that when fear tries to creep in you stir up the gift that's already in you you start talking to the anointing that's inside [Applause] [Music] hi I'm David G Evans thank you for being with me today today I'm starting a new series called the law of success for the next several weeks I want to share with you why most people struggle to be successful and why many of us fall short of God's best in our life if you are always expecting the words there's a reason if failure and rejection is normal for you there is a reason it's very simple you're living in fear that's right fear you may say well bishop well Dave I'm not afraid of anything is that right let me ask you this have you stopped believing that God is ever going to bless you if you said yes then you are living in fear let's get into this message and let me unpack this for you second Timothy chapter 1 verse 6 and 7 says wherefore I put the in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands for God hath not given us the spirit of fear but the Spirit you has has power love and has given you a sound mind but God has not given us the spirit of fear spirit we hasn't won a power one of love and one that gives us a sound mind fear is the enemy and the adversary of successful people fear is the enemy and the adversary of every successful person so the text is suggesting that when fear takes control that something other than power is produced something other than love is felt and my mind cannot be sound if it is being controlled by fear so fear has a two pronged approach the number one purpose of fear is to unbalance you emotionally to where you become unpredictable to yourself to where you begin to sow seeds words that are seeds into your own spirit and therefore into your own destiny and find yourself becoming afraid of being what God has created you to be so the number one mission of fear is to unbalance you emotionally so that emotionally watch this you unprepared for success that you begin to talk to yourself in ways that discourage you and then the result of that conversation is that you no longer pursue what God has created you to achieve so when I am afraid I feel powerless when I am afraid I feel as though fear is controlling me because fear begins to change the way I relate to God and then I begin to look at every situation as intimidating that's not created for me to enjoy I begin to feel as though nothing will ever change fear gets into the child of God and impacts your faith from a emotional point of view to now your faith becomes anchored to your emotions and not to the Word of God I begin to second-guess my faith not because necessarily something has happened but I just feel like it's not gonna work the problem with my feelings is that I have to learn how to manage them if I'm going to be successful in anything I do because fear will cause you to question whether God loves you or not fear will cause you to question whether you hurt god correctly the first time the issue for us is is that fear is an enemy to my faith because fear produces an emotional reaction to the challenges of my faith so all of a sudden I believe God what's this contradiction but I'm secretly privately afraid that what God has promised me will never happen for me now what's incredible about that is that I will watch God work in other people's lives and fear will not allow me to be encouraged by what God is doing for you I now see God blessing around me as God excluding me rather than God showing me what he's about to do I can't get any help Sophia's number one weapon is to unbalance you emotionally so your faith becomes seasonal so that you can only believe God when things are going well and the enemy uses fear when you display to him that you are not emotionally in control there's one thing to have emotions it's another thing to be emotional successful people cannot be emotional they have to have emotion versus because if I have emotion I'm operating watch this in a strength God has given you the world tells you emotion is weak but I serve was just an emotional God so I have to know how to navigate my feelings so my emotions don't sabotage my success if you always been overlooked and someone offers you an opportunity if you're used to being rejected you'll have a hard time believing God is presenting you with a seasonal change you'll look more for what's wrong then you do for what's right when fear is ruling you like a spirit because when I'm afraid I anticipate defeat I anticipate rejection am I talking to the right people I anticipate failure and then when I'm controlled by fear unless this I made sure I failed so I can be right about what I'm feeling my friends don't ever forget this fear is the enemy and the adversary of faith if you are constantly expecting the worst then you're operating in fear not faith that is not where God wants you to be even for a minute but you must make a conscious decision to stand up to fear when I come back we're going to talk more about how to fight fear and let God open doors of opportunity for you don't go away I'll be right back it's now easier than ever to stay

[Music] so if I'm in a miserable situation and I get fearful I won't stop doing things to make my situation better I'll feed my fear so why does an enemy suddenly decide to help you all of you out help you out real good why does an enemy suddenly decided motional II what's this you spend day after day talking to people asking the Lord fasting and praying why doesn't someone so like me what did I do to them tell you neighbor he's a very helpless this is gonna be so simple it's gonna be powerful turn to neighbors say the problem is you were born the problem is your existence not your performance so stop auditing yourself every day because sometimes what should make intellectual sense will never make intellectual sense because it is emotion based your enemy is not being intellectual your enemy is emotional okay I don't have any bad for that yes I do the reason Satan so upset with you is because he's become emotional about the fact he lost his job and God gave it to you so he's emotional about the fact that now praise belongs to the people and not to him so what's bothering the devil is the sheer fact that you egg [Applause] enemy really asks what is man that thou art mindful of him what is this passion this pursuit this commitment to this individual I messed up one time you threw me out of heaven they mess up over and over again and you keep telling them you're gonna forgive them and bring them to the place that you kicked me out of it's an emotional issue the second weapon of fear is that to be an adversary what's this where you privately believe that the opportunity that you've been offered is really out of your scope of ability you don't say it publicly but you've wondered when it's a real big opportunity not just not one of these slightly lateral moves when you go from sitting in the corner to supervising people and on the way home fear hits you because the opportunity looks like a mountain to you fear becomes an adversary when success looks like a mountain and then watch this and if you're not careful you'll forget what God promised you forget who God is in you and Paul says don't you forget that when fear tries to creep in you stir up the gift that's already in you you start talking to the anointing that's inside oh yeah we can do this Holy Ghost oh yeah we don't make this happen Holy Ghost yeah anointing it's time for you to express yourself yes Lord I'm safe yes what I've got the Holy Ghost yes he says strap yourself so you can overcome your fear here's the problem in the text Paul is implying very strongly that annointed people have seasons of fear and if you don't know how to remind yourself who you are in the kingdom fear will start to control you and you'll lose power you'll start to expect to be hated and your mind will go rocky one of the strengths of the kingdom and one of the problems of the kingdom is that you according to God or what you think so if the enemy can unbalance my emotions it'll change what I think here we go it'll change what I think see you'll never master what's this you'll never master trying to figure out how somebody else thinks and I say this because you haven't figured out your own mind yet you're so busy trying to anticipate what people think you don't know what you're gonna think say from one minute to the next [Applause] too much time in other people's heads when you ought to get in your own head and figure out why I seem to mess stuff up just when it's getting better now the problem is the Bible says this is the great thing about police work Holy Spirit says I'll bring back everything to your remembrance you might forget what shoe size you wear but the Holy Ghost job is to bring the word back to your remembrance watch this in a time of need so it fears trying to creep in I need to let the anointing partner with what's in my head in my heart and start talking the Word of God to myself until fear has to get away from me fear has to get back something you can't say anything because you don't want to admit you've ever been afraid but some of you are afraid about something right now and God says stir up the gift that's within you tell yourself God loves me I'm God's favorite God has put favor on my life I can do everything he said I can do stir up yourself that's this now watch it y'all sit down in the comfy the problem is because of the composition of the English language you are better at feeding your fear doubt depression then you are at feeding your faith because we know more English than we know word [Applause] but I have to study to feed my faith in other words I am naturally prone to a negative response and the negative response as relates to opportunity feeds my fear just makes us feel so so now I gotta learn how to flip the script on the devil what's what's this what's this but you are too preoccupied with the devil the devil put most of us on automatic pilot years ago enemy no longer has to slip in your office and say say something bad to yourself enemy doesn't have to slip in your bedroom in the morning and say complain as you're getting up out of the bed you've been on automatic pilot too long we're better at being negative which expresses fear of success then we are being positive which expresses faith it is so true God loves you and wants you to stir up that gift that is in you stop talking yourself out of opportunity start talking yourself in speak the Word of God thank him when you get up in the morning praise Him on your way to work be a blessing to your coworkers you keep speaking the Word of God until fear has to leave you praise God let me pray with you right now so you can start telling the enemy to get out of your way come on let's pray God I bless your name today for your goodness and all of your mercy now Lord at this time we understand clearly at faith and fear can't dwell comfortably in the same place I ask you right now to increase faith break the yoke of fear by the power of your spirit and I declare it so in your life today in Jesus name Amen I hope this has been a blessing to you today my announcer is coming to tell you about some resources that I believe
