You Never Need to Be Afraid of God's Plan - by Rev Wayde Goodall

Well, it's always nice to have Rev Wayde speak in church , all the way from USA. And his message was very very timely ( as a prelude to Christmas). The main message was taken from Luke 1:26-55.

He starts of with quoting the Scriptures from 2 Chronicls 16:9 ( TLT):

'The eye of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.'

And then he proceeds to talk about Mary, who never asked to be worshipped ( as the Catholics do) but was somehow a chosen teenager by God to carry and birth Jesus, the Son of God. In Luke 1:29-30, the angel Gabriel speaks to Mary and she is confused and disturbed ( and rightly so!). The common fears that Mary had ( and so do we):

1) Fear of criticism that says ' what will people think of me?
2) Fear of the supernatural that says ' what is going to happen to me?'
3) Fear of being inadequate which says 'how will I be able to handle this?'
4) Fear of change which says ' how will this change my life?'

Which is why the most repeated command in the Bible is FEAR NOT.
And the reason why we don't need to fear God's plan for our lives is:

1) We can be certain of His presence in our life
2) We can trust in God's supernatural power in our life
3) We can be sure that God will fulfil His promises in our life

Wow! How true is that!! Amen!
