1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040
Have you ever been stuck in fear?

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:07,840
I felt trapped like you didn't know how you were going to face whatever it was you were

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,920
supposed to face.

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:18,320
Well today we are going to break off any fear that may be hampering what you know you're

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,560
supposed to do or perhaps what you are trying to face.

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,760
Welcome to 1224 where we want to empower you to live your very best life through biblical

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:34,520
inspiration and through connecting with Jesus in at least 12 minutes of meditative worship.

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,520
Why 12 minutes?

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,560
Well because research has shown that meditating on a good God for at least 12 minutes has

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,120
the ability to create new healthy neural pathways in our brain.

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,640
That's new ways of thinking that align with the one we're worshiping.

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,120
So hey if you're just joining us we're so glad to have you check us out and if you've

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,240
been listening for a while well hey don't forget to like and subscribe and share with

14
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,240
a friend.

15
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,720
We have been so excited to see how you guys have said this has been transforming the way

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,280
you think and the way you live.

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:16,880
So a few years ago I was going after a master's in choral conducting and I got to tell you

18
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,320
I was pretty intimidated by it.

19
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:24,200
I was stuck in I don't know how I'm going to do this what if the students don't like

20
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:33,720
me what if my advisor doesn't like me what if I freeze whatever it is and God was so

21
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,680
good because well he is good.

22
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:43,760
He reminded me of Isaiah 41 10 and I memorized and it says this do not fear for I am with

23
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,040
you do not anxiously look about you for I am your God.

24
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,360
Surely I will help you surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand for I am

25
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,840
the Lord your God who upholds your right hand and I got to tell you in doing something like

26
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,720
conducting where I was using my hand a lot it was so comforting to know that it was his

27
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:13,120
righteous one that was upholding mine but that's the truth for whatever we face and

28
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:20,120
it may seem incredibly intimidating and yes God totally saw me through that I ended up

29
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:26,480
having so much fun and I was so glad that I pushed through the fear because it was really

30
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:34,280
just a lie telling me I couldn't do it but I know that I know from first hand experience

31
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,840
because it that cycle tends to repeat itself before I started this channel I knew I was

32
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:47,840
supposed to do it but I also was pretty stuck in fear because there was a lot of failure

33
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:56,200
to be had and looking stupid or what if I don't represent God well or what if nobody watches

34
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,960
which I was fine with because I knew I was just supposed to be obedient but at the same

35
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:10,800
time that fear of failure can feel pretty strong as well and maybe you're facing life

36
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,400
with that a loved one suddenly or the loss of a job and you don't know if you'll ever

37
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,160
get another one you like or maybe it's something God's asked you to do talking to your neighbors

38
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:29,720
and you're just so afraid of whatever that is parenting being a wife or husband but God

39
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,160
doesn't want to stuck in fear he says I haven't given you a spirit of fear I've given you

40
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:40,600
a spirit of power and of love and of self control and here's where we get to use our

41
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:48,000
self control because we can choose right now to meditate on his goodness to meditate on

42
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,400
his truth so as we dive in to this worship meditation I want to encourage you maybe you

43
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,960
want to pull out your Bibles I've got the verses in the description and we're going

44
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:12,240
to be singing through the word in the words of God himself as he tells us to not fear

45
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:21,400
Holy Spirit we just invite you here right now come and have it these words inhabit our

46
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:32,920
thoughts may we be transformed into a people who do not operate in fear
