When I'm starting to feel afraid, I pray, read some portions of the Holy Scriptures and watch Pr. Rick Warren's videos and, as a result, all the fear starts to disappear.
A Setback is a set-up for a comeback. Five different fears: 1) Fear of Inadequacy (Mary) 2) Fear of Disapproval (Joseph) 3) Fear of Unexpected Change (Shepherds) 4) Fear of Losing Control (King Herod) 5) Fear of Disappointment (Zechariah and Elizabeth) God says DO NOT BE AFRAID each time. Turn FEAR into FAITH. How: 1) Surrender Your Life to God Everyday (Job 11:13-18) 2) Stop Listening to the Voices of Fear (Romans 14:23) 3) Fill my mind with Music that Praises God (Worship cure for worry, praise antidote for panic) (Luke 1:46-56) 4) Base my hope on the Promises of God (Psalm 56:3-4)
I came across a list of sermons I usually listen too and then, this Rick Warren came out so I decided to listen to him. “Omg” his sermons are so enlightening and so real every single one has touched my heart. I came across it 2 days ago n now I listen to it every day n look forward to. I share it with my family. I am a truck driver n drive at night about 10 to 11 hours n I can honestly say say I listen to him almost all the hours I drive.
I needed this because I am afraid and need God to let me know I do not need to be afraid as this will be taken care of by God. I am shaking because I am trying to control my set backs that I did not handle correctly; situations with my family and cannot change their opinions of me that really I did not deserved. When my husband was dying I filled the fear of his death with 2 CDs I bought in the gift shop of the hospital. Thanks for your helping me remember. When I was a little girl we had some terrible lighting storms and I sat with my dog and sang I will not be afraid , I will not be afraid , I will look upward and travel onward, but I am not afraid. It helped me lose my fears. Thank you for Giving me Pastor Rick to led me to solutions.
I have been full of fear and anxiety and I know it is due to my wrong thinking. I have decided to end it and transform my thinking. God has got me! Thank you Pastor Rick for all that you do! 🙏
Currently sitting in the hospital battling health issues. I've watched this sermon multiple times over the last year. Thank you so much for this message and the comfort it provides. Please remember me in your prayers.
Blessed by hearing this message.Thank you Pastor Rick.I really need to apply this.It's not fun being afraid and worried and depressed.I'm sick of it.Some days I don't get out of bed.I need to renew my mind and I am committed to the steps you mentioned. I love listening to you. God Bless You.
I realize that this message is from years before, BUT it is so on point and relevant for me today. I can't believe that I just heard about Pastor Rick and now I listen to one of his recorded messages daily.
Thank you for the message. You spoke on one of my fears. The fear of approval. I don't want to miss out on my blessings because Im looking for mans approval. Thank you God for Pastor Rick.
Thanks for this message. I've been sharing with my friends about how God can turn setbacks into comebacks in our lives. This message is such a blessing to me and all my friends. Pray that you get better soon!
Great message... You are one of those few people I pray to meet in person. You, Nick Vujicic and Pastor Peter Tan-Chi. I'm amazed of your understanding about Christian Living... Love you all. God bless.
Thank you for sharing this talk pastor Rick, this is just in time. I am in my preparation for my board exam 43 days before the exam and my chest is keep on pounding like a drums. I already took the board before but I failed, but I still believe and hold on to His promise. I believe in God's perfect timing. I believe in His word for God is Bigger than the board exam.
Thank you for the beautiful message and prayer, such a blessing to me. I pray that God will give me the strength to cast out fear. May God bless you Pastor Rick.
Needed this in getting confidence! I found playing hand drums helped calm my mind from depression and anxiety and wanted to share this with others! (I really felt a connection talking about music that praises God! 😉). I'm developing a program to work with seniors at senior apartments and nursing homes ...but felt low confidence in leading a group and the negative thoughts say I don't have enough music training. This sermon helped me REALLY connect that I don't need to look for confidence in me...just look to God and he will be my confidence!😁 🌞
I'm glad I came across your video it's exactly what I needed to hear. I want to be a motivational speaker and I keep letting fear pull me away. I need to just put my faith more in God that I can do all things through him that strengthen me. Thank you for a wonderful message of conquering fear.
Hi mate you have made me aware of the Farther than enyone else in my life. I am 76 years old and I feel like a new man. Because of you I Mr Rick.. You are so special and thank God for you Amen 🙏🙏🙏
I love the Christmas Story. I could hear it every day. Please pray that I can be part of a family and find a real Christian church. I live in a currently very anti Christian area.
Loved this message and using the Christmas story to illustrate the different types if fear. Yup, 2000+ years later and we still have the same fears! The only thing I noticed was at the end, during the prayer to accept Jesus...where is the acknowledgement of sin and repentance? That has to happen as well...
Thank you, Pastor Rick Warren....you are awesome. I like your style and listen while I am working. Hearing you makes me want to go home and open the Bible and study/follow along. (Bible and notebook are out and I will be following though with this.) So, Bless you Pastor and please continue doing this - for there is so much I need and want to learn. :)
Love you Rick Warren! Amazing speech, it helped so much . Literally answered to my recent question I had in my head for couple days long ! I wish I could become a member of your church🙏❤
