A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs Nancy Dufresne

Praising played a role in Paul and Silas getting out of jail, and praising played a role in God’s people getting into Jericho. In life, you sometimes need to come out of a place, and you sometimes need to get into a place – praising plays a role in you moving out or moving in. Praise gets your focus off you and your circumstances, and puts your focus on God, the greater One. When you praise God from your heart, faith is released – and God goes where faith puts Him!

Mrs Nancy Dufresne-A Sound Disciplined Mind

PRAISE – YOUR EXIT AND YOUR ENTRANCE Acts 16 tells of when Paul and Silas were beaten and thrown in prison. Locked up in chains, they prayed and sang praises. As they praised, a great earthquake came, and their chains fell off and the prison doors opened. It wasn’t while they were praying that the answer showed up, but while they were praising. Some people need to stop praying about their situation and go to praising. It’s right to pray, but don’t stop there; start praising, for praise is the voice of faith. As God’s people marched around the walled city of Jericho, God directed them to lift their voices in shouts of praise. As they did, God’s power was released and the walls came down, and they won a mighty victory. They could have reasoned that shouting praises doesn’t make walls fall, but their obedience to praise released God’s mighty power on their behalf, and the walls came down!

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

This precious soul broke into tears and said, "How could you know that I'm so broken inside and the pain is more than I can bear?" As I wrapped my arms around her, she told me the story of a tragedy that had just happened in her family, and she didn't know who to talk to or where to turn for help. God, in His love, had heard her cry and sent me, on a Saturday, when no one is usually at the school, to be His loving arms, ears, and voice. "I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay…" (Psalm 40:1-2). And to think that I had not wanted to do what God had planned for me that day because I had my own plans! I was able to spend time praying with her and helping her to know what to do and how to give her pain to the Lord and leave it for Him to work out. It began a wonderful relationship with this dear child of God. Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

Mrs Carol Hopson-Trusting God in Troubled Times

With a new attitude, we left the house to show our friends the area, the beach, some of the special sights, and then the Christian school. As we were walking through the campus on a Saturday morning, we ran into a teacher and introduced her to our guests. After walking on, the Holy Spirit prompted me to go back and talk with that dear teacher as I had seen something in her face and heard discouragement in her voice. I excused myself and let my husband continue the tour while I went back to find the teacher. As I approached her, I asked if there was anything I could do for her as God had sent me back because He loved her so much and cared about her. Could I pray with her about anything?

Fear of the Lord-Pastor Dave Hoffman

God lives in our spirit, and there is always a war going on between our flesh [our sinful nature] and our spirit. But, God has given us His power to walk in the spirit and not in the flesh. Fathers, we need to teach our kids that there are consequences for their behavior, so they need to learn to make their choices based on biblical standards so the only consequences are blessings instead of curses. Discipline your children now, so that when they become teenagers they will make biblical decisions instead of decisions based on feelings, emotions, and whims. Teach them that when they disobey the Word of God, when they disobey authority, there are consequences.

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Proverbs 22:15 says this, Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child. Many educators maintain that man is basically good, but scripture indicates otherwise! We are all born with a sinful nature. But, the rod of disciple will remove the foolishness out of your child. The Apostle Paul put it this way in Romans 7:18: I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.

A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs Nancy Dufresne

When faced with a test, praising the Lord holds you in the spirit arena, which is the arena of faith, and out of the mental arena. Now, the natural mind may reason that simply praising God isn’t enough to deliver you from a difficult situation – but it is, for praise is one way you release your faith in the power of God, and the power of God can change your situation.

Mrs Nancy Dufresne-A Sound Disciplined Mind

THE PRAISE CURE Years ago, there was a time when I was faced with a difficult situation. I prayed, I fed on the Word, and I confessed the Word faithfully. But one day, the Spirit prompted me to spend most of my time praising the Lord; so I did. For the next week, I just praised the Lord continuously. If I was by myself, I would do it aloud. If I was around other people, I would do it quietly to myself. Regardless of what I felt, I kept at it. When it seemed dry, I just kept at it. As I did, I realized that I had moved from “trying” to trusting and resting. I hadn’t realized that all the praying, studying and confessing I had been doing was from a place of “trying” to get victory instead of trusting and resting in the victory that was mine already. I realized I had left faith and had slipped into the mental arena – trying to work for victory instead of resting in the victory Jesus had already gotten for me. (It’s so easy to slip out of faith and back into the mental arena.) Spending much time praising God moved me back into faith; then when I started operating in faith, God’s power began flowing and things started changing, and I got on the other side of that test.

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

I was not in the best frame of mind one morning. I had company again, and now we needed to take them on a tour of the area, the Christian school where my husband ministered, and so on. We had done this many times with many people, and I had so many other things to do and was a little annoyed that I had to do this again! After complaining to God in my prayer, He got my attention and clearly reminded me, through Philippians 1:20, that my purpose was not to have my way today but to let Him have His way…with a joyful attitude. "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4). Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

What is your purpose today? Did you think of all you have to accomplish…the chores… the errands…caring for your family? Those are all good things that do need your care. But the overall purpose in doing all of these things should be to magnify Christ in the way you handle things today. Will your family see that you are making Christ's love, joy, and peace clearer for them to understand by the way you speak and act? Colossians 3:17 reminds us, "Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus…," which means to do all as if "representing Jesus" to those around you.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor Dave Hoffman

Responsibility # 3: Discipline your children. It is our responsibility to make sure our children are consistently and fairly disciplined because our kids [like their Dads] are sinners. They have a sin nature, and are not naturally good. But, if you raise them up in a good environment, and parent them correctly, giving them self esteem, building them up, as they grow older they will make right choices. But left to themselves, they are not holy little angels. The heart is more deceitful than all else, it is desperately sick.

Fathers, we have the primary responsibility to teach our kids
the Word of God.
I have made a covenant with the Lord Jesus to sit down
consistently with my kids and either read the Bible to them or
have them read it to me, and then talk about what we’ve read.
Fathers, God has called us to set the standard.

A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs Nancy Dufresne

Isaiah 61:3 speaks of, “… the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness … .” In the face of seeming heaviness and depression, instead of listening to or turning troubling thoughts over in your mind, put God’s praises in your mouth. Praising God from your heart plays a role in exiting out of heaviness and depression, or any test. One way you release your faith is through praising the Lord from your heart, and when your faith is flowing, God’s power will meet your faith; when you release your faith, the power of the greater One within you will flow. You’re not praising God based on how you feel, but you’re praising God based on who He is, and for the great things He has done for you. You’re not praising God because of the difficulty or the test, for He didn’t sent it, but you’re praising God because His power, which belongs to you, is greater; His power will deliver you. Even if your praises seem dry and difficult at first, just keep praising, for as you do, you’ll begin to move out of the natural and mental arena, and into the spirit; and when you start operating out of your spirit, things will start changing. When you release your faith in Him through praise, God’s power starts changing things. Praising God brings the anointing, and the anointing destroys the yoke (Isaiah 10:27).

Chapter Eight Freedom from Depression – The Praise Cure If worry is persisted in, it can open the door to wrong things, including depression. But if you’ll be a doer of the Word, regardless of what you may feel, you can exit out of depression and keep the door closed to it. Every believer must renew their mind with the Word of God. This is done by feeding on the Word and by being a doer of the Word. To be a doer of the Word includes bringing your thought life in line with God’s Word. Wrong thoughts come to everyone, but all thoughts that are not in line with His Word are to be rejected. Refuse to listen to or turn troubling thoughts over in your mind; refuse to think about them. Refuse to believe the wrong thing. Stand your ground on God’s Word, answering those thoughts with the Word of God. Resist the devil and he will flee (James 4:7).

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PURPOSE! According to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ shall even now, as always, be exalted [magnified] in my body, whether by life or by death. -Philippians 1:20 My eyes are getting older, like the rest of me, and it gets more and more difficult to see things clearly. To read anything up close, I now need glasses to magnify the words and make them easy for me to read. Without my glasses, words and sentences are blurred and make no sense. In the above verse, Paul states that his hope and purpose is to "exalt (or magnify)" Christ whether by life or by death. Let's think about what a "magnifier" does. Does it clarify or blur? Does it make things easier to see or more difficult to see? Does it enlarge or minimize things? Of course, the value of the magnifying glass is in how well it clarifies, enlarges, and makes something easier to read. That's its whole purpose.

THE OTHER SIDE God is weaving day by day A pattern full of color, Full of twists and turns galore, That doesn't match another. It may look like a big mistake When glancing at it here, With knots and loose ends dangling, Making patterns quite unclear. Sometimes hopeless it may seem Because it doesn't fit With what you thought 'twas all about And what your life would knit. But Sovereign God designs your days When in Him you abide. And someday when you see His face, You'll see the other side. -Carol Hopson Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

Even if you fail, or let your wife down, or disobey God, your family knows you will go to God and ask Him to forgive you. I want my kids to know, “We are the Hoffmans, and we live by the Word of God. We keep our promises. We do not lie or cheat. We are the Hoffmans, we respect authority, are loyal to our friends, and have compassion on those who are less fortunate then we are. The Hoffmans live by biblical standards. We go to church every Sunday because we want to hear the Word of God for our lives, and honor God on a regular basis, putting him first. We read our Bible and pray because we want God’s Spirit, power and truth to permeate our lives. We’re active in our church because God has given us a ministry of reconciliation.

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

As a pastor I have the benefit of watching people raise their
children using different methods. Without exception, the strong
families have dads who are leaders in the home, and who have
been examples to their children. These fathers have not given
their children any reason to rebel.
When the Bible says, “Train up a child in the way that he
should go and when he/she grows old they will not depart from
it,” it is not just talking about information! There’s an old
saying, “More is caught than taught.” Train your children by
making sure they attend church, go to Bible studies, and care
about their education but also make sure they see you living out
your faith on a daily basis.
If you want rebellious kids, live a hypocritical life and you will
be in for a long hard ride. How you live your life teaches your
kids more than any information you could give them.

EXERCISING FAITH EVERY DAY The just shall live by faith (Hebrews 10:38). We are to live a life of faith. Faith must be expressed and exercised every day. The inward man is renewed day by day (II Corinthians 4:16). Every day we must feed and nourish our spirit man. Every day we must walk by faith. Every day we must think faith thoughts and speak faith words. Every day we must release and express our faith through faith words and faith actions. Every day we must exercise our authority over the enemy when he opposes us. Every day we must renew our minds with the Word of God. Every day we must cast down imaginations and bring every wrong thought into captivity, refusing to let them loose in our thought life, thereby keeping the door closed to the enemy. As we feed on God’s Word and act on it, we will shut doubt out of our lives, and our faith will grow strong and robust, and our lives will bear much fruit.

THE ENGRAFTED WORD James tells us, “…receive with meekness the ENGRAFTED word…” (James 1:21). When anything is engrafted, it becomes a part of something. For the Word to become part of our lives and make a difference, it must become engrafted. It can only become engrafted as we feed on the Word of God; our minds, as well as our spirits, must be fed on God’s Word. Our minds are the gateway to our spirits; our minds allow the Word or hinder the Word from flowing into our spirits. We’re not to let the arguments, the reasonings, or the analysis of the mind to rise up and hinder or block the flow of the Word into our spirits. We are to accept God’s Word. For the Word to become engrafted, it has to reach beyond our intellects and sink into our spirits; this is done as we take time to meditate on the Word.

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

Are you facing troubled times right now? Does life seem unfair? I've certainly been there. I have felt that God surely wasn't seeing what was happening to His child. But that is never truth! "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). God is still in control, and all He allows is for my good and growth. I pray that in today's problems, as well as in future trials, I will be ready to seek Him first, that I will long for His presence to fill my mind and heart, that I will eagerly spend my day praising Him for His loving-kindness, and finally, that I will willingly lift my hands in a prayer of surrender to and acceptance of His will for my life.

5. "I will lift up my hands in Your name" (v. 4, NKJV ). As an Old Testament posture of prayer, lifted-up hands were a picture of sending prayers up to God, as well as a readiness to receive that which God gave back to the believer. It was an outward evidence of putting one's trust in God alone, and that is what David is doing here. He also must have realized that God would be the Righteous Judge of all the wrong that was done to him, so he didn't have to seek his own revenge. That's what we were reminded of in the opening verse…that Jesus kept "entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously" (1 Peter 2:23).

Fear of the Lord-Pastor Dave Hoffman

When our kids sense that we would give our lives for them, that we would never lie to them, that we always want to do the best for them, they begin to trust us. When your children grow older, you can lead them the way you want to because they trust you. They will say to themselves, “I know that Dad has the best in mind for me. He loves me, and would do anything for me. I’ve seen it all my life. I’ve seen his integrity, his commitment to the Lord Jesus and to my mother. I’ve witnessed his willingness to forgive, and his honest, hard work. I can see the blessings in his life. I’m going to follow my father as he follows Christ.” Your children will embrace your value system because it is God’s value system and it produces an abundant life. If you live God’s value system in your life, if you take those rules and responsibilities seriously, it is going to impact your children for the good, and your kids will have no reason to rebel. Of course, all children will eventually try to stretch their wings a bit, but as you lead, they will eventually follow.

4. "Because your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live" (vv. 3-4, NKJV). David now realizes that nothing…not kingdoms, palaces, power, earthly security, or anything else…compares to God's loving-kindness, which will never leave him. Oh, how he must have loved God to come to this realization while fleeing to the desert. Because he truly believes it, he says, "My lips shall praise you. Thus I will bless You while I live." He wants to spend his last hours praising the Lord, not fighting for what he thinks is fair. He was willing to leave all in the hands of "Him who judges righteously."

Six Responsibilities of a Father For the balance of this chapter, I want to share the six basic responsibilities of a father to his children. Responsibility # 1: Lead by example Men lead by following the example of Jesus Christ. Men lead in the home by serving. Jesus did not come to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many. [Matthew 20:28] The greater your spiritual responsibility, the more you should strive to be a servant! You cannot be a leader in the Kingdom of God without being a servant! As a father, when there is a choice between going golfing, watching television, taking a nap, or whatever else you want to do, and being with your children, or addressing a family situation, or being with your wife…it is always them and never you.

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Servant Leadership
My role as a father is to be a servant-leader. I lead by serving
my wife and my children and fulfilling my responsibilities as a
father.
As a pastor, I meet many people, and am privy to many
events that happen in people’s families. In many ways, I am like
a scientist who sees this human experiment of marriage being
played out before my very eyes. As a result, I have learned some
valuable things that I have embraced with my own children.
Start to declare right now that “I am going to leave my
children a legacy. Yes, I know I have done some things I
shouldn’t have done, but I am starting right now to live for Jesus.
Lord, I will do what You want me to do whenever You give me an
opportunity. Lord, I want to consistently plant seeds of truth in
my kids’ lives and start praying for them. I want to be the kind
of Dad you called me to be.”

A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs Nancy Dufresne

Abraham had the characteristic of meekness toward God and His Word because he was quick to believe; he didn’t resist, argue against, reason against, or doubt what God had said. “He (Abraham) staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God; And being FULLY PERSUADED that, what he (God) had promised, he was able also to perform” (Romans 4:20 & 21). Abraham was strong in faith by giving glory to God and by being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He said. You, too, will be strong in faith by giving glory to God and by being fully persuaded that God is able to do what He said. Abraham was fully persuaded. God didn’t have to coerce him into believing Him. Abraham was quick to believe; he didn’t stagger at the promise of God through unbelief – he didn’t reason against or doubt God’s Word. Oh, yes, Abraham was human, just like the rest of us, but he didn’t allow his mind to talk him out of what God said. He believed and held fast to God’s Word.

Mrs Nancy Dufresne-A Sound, Disciplined Mind

A person who is meek toward the Word doesn’t dispute with or resist God and His Word, but receives it; they receive the authority of the Word in their own life, and recognize the authority of the Word over all opposition, circumstances, and situations. In speaking of Moses, the Word says that he was the most meek man on the face of the earth (Numbers 12:3). We can also see that Moses was greatly used by God. Those who are meek toward God and His Word are able to be used by God, for they don’t dispute with or resist God’s Word; they receive it and act on it. They are quick to submit to God’s Word – they’re quick to believe it – they’re easily persuaded by the Word.

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

Next, David longs for the comfort of God's presence as you would long for a drink in the dry desert. This truly shows the heart of someone who loves the Lord above all. It is no wonder that God called him a "man after God's own heart." You might think that David would cry out for God to restore his position and undo all the unfair, hurtful situations he was facing. But David knew that above all else, the most important thing in life was to be in God's presence, because that's where true joy was found. "Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy…" (Psalm 16:11). 3. "So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory" (v. 2, NKJV).

Secondly, David knew that he had to begin his day seeking the Lord, focusing on Him and not on how unfair his situation was. That would only bring him down, so he chose to wake up and seek God's direction. He didn't waste time in self-pity and destructive thoughts; he went to the only One who could give him comfort. 2. "My soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water" (v. 1, NKJV).

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Main Scripture # 2: Colossians 3:21 Fathers, do not exasperate your children that they may not lose heart. These two verses explain why kids rebel, and do destructive things to themselves and society, When the father treats the mother poorly, when the father abdicates his responsibility to provide for the family and abandons his children, or when he criticizes them constantly, when he withholds love from them, when he does not discipline them, when he does not give up his time for them, when he does not set an example for his children, they become angry and exasperated, they lose heart, they become destructive and rebellious.

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Main Scripture # 1: Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger but bring
them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
When you do not take seriously the roles and responsibilities
as a father, your children are going to become angry. Because
they do not know how to process that anger, they will become
rebellious and destructive, frequently self destructive.

A Sound, Disciplined Mind-Mrs Nancy Dufresne

To argue against the Word will hinder the process of renewing the mind. We’re to agree with the Word from our hearts, receive it, and then act on it; it will bring great benefits. MEEKNESS James tells us to, “… receive with MEEKNESS the engrafted word…” (James 1:21). Meekness, in this instance, doesn’t refer to an outward behavior or in relation to other men, but meekness toward the Word. In W.E. Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, one of the definitions of “meekness” is the accepting of God’s dealings with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting.

Mrs Nancy Dufresne- A Sound, Disciplined Mind

“But you don’t understand my situation… ,” someone may say. The Word God has already given is enough for every situation; we don’t need something different. We’re not to reason against the Word, but receive it as our answer. The Word is the answer in every situation. If we argue against the Word, we’re arguing against our answer. We’re not to argue against it – but agree with it. We’re not to reason against it – but agree with it. Reasonings will lead us into questions, and will feed doubt. We’re not to reason against the Word. We’re not to analyze the Word – but just do it! The Word doesn’t need our mental analysis; it just needs our faith, our agreement, and our obedience. The spirit of man can receive and believe that which the mind can’t always understand, so we’re to receive the Word and act on it from our spirits.

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

It was when he was hiding out in the desert that he penned Psalm 63. Let's look at the choices David made while in the midst of great suffering. 1. "O God, You are my God; early will I seek You…" (v. 1, NKJV). First of all he recognizes and reaffirms that "You are my God." He was stating his personal relationship with and commitment to Almighty God no matter what his circumstances were.

Mrs Carol Hopson-Trusting God in Troubled Times

David was certainly no stranger to suffering. At the end of his reign, David's sons rose up and rebelled against him, causing great pain in his last days. His son Absalom, who was eventually to take the throne, sought out some of his followers and persuaded them to overthrow David. Absalom also sat outside the city gates and pretended to be a very caring leader who would understand people's struggles, and gradually he gained quite a following. Then, David's nephew and favorite counselor turned on him and joined with Absalom and his followers to overthrow him. At this point, David had to leave all of his comforts and beautiful palatial surroundings to flee to the desert when he discovered that Absalom, his own son, had planned to take his life.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor Dave Hoffman

I want to leave a legacy so that my children’s children are a positive influence to their society, living according to the Word of God. I do not just want to influence my three kids, I want to influence three or four generations down the line! I believe I have a responsibility to think about these things. I love my children’s children and I do not even know who they are yet! I want them to love Jesus, to be a blessing to their culture. I am convinced that being a godly father can be condensed down to two main scriptures. Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Roles and Responsibilities of a Father
One of the important scriptures in my life is Proverbs 13:22
A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s
children.
I believe that I am supposed to leave a financial inheritance
for my children. If I teach them to be good stewards, they are
going to leave a financial inheritance to their children, who can
then pass it on to their children. The Kingdom of God will be
enriched because there will be ample money to do the works of
the Kingdom.
I also believe that I need to leave a spiritual and emotional
inheritance to my children. I need to leave a legacy of living a
biblical life to my children.

A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs Nancy Dufresne

RECEIVE THE WORD James wrote, “… RECEIVE with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls (or renew your mind)” (James 1:21). As we receive the Word into our minds and our spirits, and allow that Word to dominate our thoughts and actions, then our minds will be renewed with God’s Word and doubt will be run out. We must agree with the Word if we’re to benefit from it. Some hear what the Word says, and reply, “Yes, I know what the Word says, BUT … .” No, we can’t argue against the Word and receive what it offers.

Mrs Nancy Dufresne-A Sound Disciplined Mind

God has given us His Word whereby strong faith can be obtained, but whether or not our faith is strong depends on us, not on God. The more we feed and act on His Word, making it part of our daily lives, the more our faith will grow. As our faith grows, doubt is run out. Thoughts of doubt will come to everyone, but we’re to refuse to let it in. When thoughts of doubt come, we’re to resist them, saying, “Doubt, I resist you. I refuse to doubt!” James 4:7 tells us to, “…Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” When we resist doubt, we’re resisting the devil, and he will flee.

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

In all of my counseling over the years, this seems to surprise people the most…that God says we have been called to suffer. Many Christians believe that when they become part of God's family, they receive a ticket to a pain-free life, and then they are discouraged, distraught, or even devastated when difficult trials come their way. We don't always know the purpose of our suffering, but God does give us clear direction as to how we are to handle it. We are to "commit no sin" when wronged or when enduring trials, and we are told to "utter no threats" because we can entrust ourselves and our situation to God, who will be the Righteous Judge. For me, it has been incredibly freeing to realize that God will make everything just in His time, so I don't need to be bitter or take my own revenge. Trusting in my trials is entrusting all to Him…my life, my reputation, my character, my future, my pain…and accepting how He decides to handle it.

ARE YOU WILLING TO SUFFER FOR ME? For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously. -1 Peter 2:21-23 Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

Fear of the Lord-Pastor Dave Hoffman

If you are a single man, I hope you are looking to the future and are saying, “I am going to do it God’s way. If I ever get married I want to embrace God’s roles and responsibilities for me in marriage” A man’s man is God’s man. There is nothing men can do that will change this society more than to become men who take on the responsibility God has called them to assume in their families.

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

We have an entire generation of angry, hurting kids whose
fathers have abdicated their responsibilities, so their angry
children rebel. Men need to be liberated from the curse of
abandoning God’s ordained roles for their lives.
Women need to be liberated too—from bad male leadership. I
pray that there is a rising determination in men from the Holy
Spirit that is saying something along these lines: “I want to be
different. I want to do it God’s way, I want to be blessed. I want
my marriage to be blessed, I want my children to be blessed.”

A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs Carol Hopson

Chapter Seven Keep Out Doubt We must protect our peace so that we keep the door closed to the enemy. In the two previous chapters, I showed how we must protect our peace from worry and fear. In this chapter, we will see how we must protect our peace from doubt. Romans 10:17 tells us, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Faith doesn’t come by praying for it, but faith comes as you gain knowledge of what God says in His Word. Great faith comes from great knowledge of God’s Word. To have great faith, gain greater knowledge of His Word and act on it. Feeding on the Word of God, meditating on the Word (thinking deeply into it, muttering it to yourself), and acting on the Word will cause faith to grow strong.

If you have someone else to pray for you when facing a test, you will still have to exercise faith in God’s Word for yourself to maintain the victory you receive with the help of someone else’s prayers and faith, for the enemy will always return to try to gain entrance again into your life. But hold fast to your victory in the face of any opposition and stand your ground against the enemy, refusing that which he tries to bring against you, and he will flee. To live in victory, learn your authority in Christ and exercise it, for the enemy can’t take advantage of those who know their authority and know who they are in Christ. You are redeemed from fear and from all the power of the enemy; the enemy has no authority over you. You are seated far above all your enemies. Remember that, speak that, and enjoy the benefits of that position! Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

I have to admit that I have had a closed fist at times too, especially when I didn't like the direction God was leading. But as I've opened my heart to do His will, not mine, He has poured out His blessings in ways I never expected. No, things didn't always go as I would choose or plan, but God always brought peace, joy, and a closer walk with Him through it all. In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. -1 Peter 1:6-7 Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

Fear of the Lord-Pastor Dave Hoffman

Fatherless, they become destructive and rebellious. My father, a lifetime pastor, told me over thirty years ago, when we were riding in a car, that there is “…a pacifying of the American male, especially married men. They are abdicating their responsibilities. I am really concerned about what this means for the future of our country.” Many American men have given up their leadership roles as the father in the family, letting others make decisions for them: psychologists, teachers, principals, and even the children themselves, because it is easier to let someone else do it. Too often in America the father’s heart is not toward their children, but somewhere else, be it in sports, fishing, golf, T.V., etc. Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

CHAPTER TEN
The Responsibilities of a Father
Who Fears the Lord
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And
he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and
the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and
smite the earth with a curse. [Malachi 4:5-6]
Malachi 4:5-6 talks about a curse coming upon a whole nation
when the fathers’ hearts are not turned toward their children.
Today, we have an entire generation of hurting children, angry
kids, who do not have the maturity to process their anger. Much
of that anger comes from the fact that so many do not have a real
relationship with their father, or their father has abdicated his
roles and responsibilities.
I once heard a man on a Christian radio station who headed
an organization trying to promote fatherhood in the United
States. His contention was that kids without fathers were
frequently violent, committed rapes, and even murdered because
they do not know how to process their anger.

HOLD FAST TO YOUR VICTORY Colossians 1:13 tells us that God has delivered us from the power (the authority) of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son. Satan has no authority over us. Fear has no authority over us. We’re not a victim to it – we are in authority over it. However, for you to benefit from your authority, you must exercise it; exercise your authority over fear if it tries to oppose you.

Mrs Nancy Dufresne-A Sound Disciplined Mind

DOMINION OVER ANXIETY AND PANIC Anxiety and panic comes from the spirit of fear. Speak to fear – tell it to leave you. You don’t have to yield to anxiety and panic – tell that fear to go in Jesus’ Name and it will obey you. You may feel fear try to grip your mind and body, but that’s just your flesh sensing the presence of the spirit of fear; that doesn’t mean that fear is in your heart (your spirit). Your spirit is the real “you”, and the real “you” isn’t afraid; it doesn’t matter that your flesh may sense it. Tell that spirit of fear to go, and it will. Remember the story I told earlier of how the enemy tried to get my spiritual father to become occupied with what he was feeling. “Check your body – it’s shaking in fear,” the enemy said. But he replied, “My body may be shaking, but that’s not the real me. The real me is my spirit, and my spirit’s not shaking!” With that the enemy left, for my spiritual father refused to be occupied with the natural. He stayed in the arena of faith and overcame the threats of the enemy. Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?
