Discussion summary & scripture references
Fear is kryptonite to the success of the calling God placed in our heart. If fear is left unchecked it will completely stall or destroy our calling. Therefore, we need to stop the growth of fear in our hearts. We stop fear’s growth by cutting off its food source, which is repetition of hearing negative words, speaking negative words and thinking negative thoughts. Listen to the replay from our Faith Discussion (from April 26, 2020 at 6 pm est) to hear more about this concept.
Matthew 25:24-30 NLT
[24] “Then the servant with the one bag of silver came and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate.
[25] I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.’
[26] “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate,
[27] why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.’
[28] “Then he ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver.
[29] To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.
[30] Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

[10] And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”
