20 Bible Verses to Crush Fear and Doubt Forever!

Speaker: 00:00:00

in Psalm 27, verse one,

the Lord is the stronghold of my life.

2

: 00:00:05

Close quote and also

the Bible tells us in the Old Testament

3

: 00:00:09

in Daniel chapter 11 verse 32, it

says, quote, the people who know

4

: 00:00:13

their God shall stand firm

and take action.

5

: 00:00:18

Did you catch that?

6

: 00:00:20

The Bible doesn't call us to weakness.

7

: 00:00:23

It calls us to be courageous

and have fortitude.

8

: 00:00:26

Number six, here's another one.

9

: 00:00:28

Why should I allow Satan

to have supremacy over my life?

10

: 00:00:33

When the Bible says this, here's a promise

in first John four for the Bible says,

11

: 00:00:37

he who is in you, that's Jesus.

12

: 00:00:40

He who is in you.

13

: 00:00:41

Jesus is greater than he

who is in the world.

14

: 00:00:45

Satan. Did you catch that?

15

: 00:00:48

Christ in you

16

: 00:00:51

is greater

17

: 00:00:52

than the one who lives

and controls this world.

18

: 00:00:55

Satan.

19

: 00:01:31

When we pray, we speak to God.

20

: 00:01:34

When we read the Holy Bible,

God speaks to us.

21

: 00:01:37

Let me share a couple of Bible verses

with you

22

: 00:01:40

on the importance of reading God's Word,

especially for us as Catholic Christians,

23

: 00:01:44

which is the church that Jesus Christ

established, and the Catholic Church

24

: 00:01:48

is a church that put the Bible together

and gave the Bible to the world.

25

: 00:01:52

Here's a few.

26

: 00:01:54

Psalm 119.

27

: 00:01:55

Verse 42.

28

: 00:01:57

For I trust in thy word.

29

: 00:02:00

Psalm 119, verse 44

30

: 00:02:03

I will keep thy law continually, forever

and ever.

31

: 00:02:07

And I shall walk at liberty.

32

: 00:02:08

For I have sought thy precepts.

33

: 00:02:11

I will also speak of thy testimonies

before kings.

34

: 00:02:16

For I will find my delight

and thy commandments, which I love.

35

: 00:02:20

I Revere thy commandments, which I love.

36

: 00:02:24

Psalm 119, verse 72.

37

: 00:02:27

The law of thy mouth is better to me

38

: 00:02:30

than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

39

: 00:02:35

Psalm 119, verse 89.

40

: 00:02:38

Forever, O Lord,

thy word is firmly fixed in the heavens.

41

: 00:02:45

Psalm 119 105.

42

: 00:02:47

Thy word is a lamp to my feet

43

: 00:02:51

and a light to my path.

44

: 00:02:55

As Catholic Christians,

45

: 00:02:57

we should make it a habit of reading

the Holy Bible every single day.

46

: 00:03:02

This is absolutely critical.

47

: 00:03:05

One of the great church

fathers says ignorance of Scripture

48

: 00:03:08

is ignorance of Jesus Christ.

49

: 00:03:11

And so as Catholics,

let's try to make it a point

50

: 00:03:15

where we're at least

reading the daily mass readings.

51

: 00:03:20

And I'll tell you why.

52

: 00:03:22

Reading the Bible is a good way

53

: 00:03:25

to get rid of unhealthy thought habits.

54

: 00:03:29

What do I mean by that?

55

: 00:03:31

You got to become aware

of this internal dialog that we have.

56

: 00:03:35

Sometimes you find

57

: 00:03:37

yourself engaging in negative thinking.

58

: 00:03:41

The Bible calmly directs

your thoughts to something positive

59

: 00:03:45

when you think about God and heaven

and the afterlife.

60

: 00:03:48

For example, if you find yourself

reliving a negative experience,

61

: 00:03:53

maybe you're a victim of a crime

and you're discounting your successes.

62

: 00:03:57

At the end of the day.

63

: 00:03:59

Put a positive spin on it.

64

: 00:04:01

Count on your successes

65

: 00:04:04

and let the negative go,

especially if you can't change it.

66

: 00:04:08

Count your blessings.

67

: 00:04:10

Look at stress

is a necessary part of our life.

68

: 00:04:14

Stress.

69

: 00:04:14

It keeps us alert, safe,

and sometimes excited.

70

: 00:04:18

But each of us has our own limits on

how much stress we can handle.

71

: 00:04:23

So again, one of the best ways

72

: 00:04:26

to relieve the symptoms of stress

is by not only talking to friends

73

: 00:04:30

and family about what's on your mind,

but talking to God in prayer

74

: 00:04:36

and having God

75

: 00:04:37

talk to you by reading His word.

76

: 00:04:40

So often,

just talking about your stressors

77

: 00:04:45

and your fears

78

: 00:04:47

makes them feel a lot much smaller,

especially when you talk to God about them

79

: 00:04:51

and they feel a lot,

a lot less significant

80

: 00:04:54

than what

you have been creating in your mind.

81

: 00:04:58

Let me give you

82

: 00:04:59

20 Bible verses to renew your mind.

83

: 00:05:03

I know sometimes you say, oh, I can't.

84

: 00:05:06

I can't stop with those four letter words.

85

: 00:05:09

What I should say is I can

86

: 00:05:13

I can do all things through Christ

who strengthens me.

87

: 00:05:18

Philippians 413.

88

: 00:05:21

Quit saying I can't stop that

four letter word.

89

: 00:05:24

The Bible says I can do all things

through Christ who strengthens me.

90

: 00:05:30

Here's another one.

91

: 00:05:32

Why should I despair?

92

: 00:05:35

The sin

of Judas led him to commit suicide.

93

: 00:05:38

Why should I despair?

94

: 00:05:39

When the Bible says in Philippians

chapter 419,

95

: 00:05:43

the Bible says, My God will supply

96

: 00:05:47

every need of yours

97

: 00:05:50

according to his riches in glory

in Christ Jesus.

98

: 00:05:54

Close quote.

99

: 00:05:55

Did you catch that?

100

: 00:05:56

God will supply everything you need

according to his riches,

101

: 00:06:01

his glory, his plan

according to Christ Jesus.

102

: 00:06:04

God will supply not what you want,

but what you need.

103

: 00:06:08

Here's a third one.

104

: 00:06:09

Why should I fear when the Bible says over

300 times?

105

: 00:06:14

Do not be afraid. He's one of many.

106

: 00:06:17

Second Timothy chapter one, verse seven.

107

: 00:06:20

The Bible says

God did not give us a spirit of fear,

108

: 00:06:24

but a spirit of power

and love and self-control.

109

: 00:06:27

Second Timothy chapter one, verse seven.

110

: 00:06:31

Here's

the fourth verse to renew your mind.

111

: 00:06:34

Why should I doubt or lack faith,

knowing that quote

112

: 00:06:39

God tells us that he has given

113

: 00:06:42

each of us a measure of faith.

114

: 00:06:46

Romans 12 three God has given

115

: 00:06:49

each one of us a measure of faith.

116

: 00:06:52

Romans 12 three

117

: 00:06:55

but we've got to cultivate and nurture

that faith.

118

: 00:06:58

Just like you got to cultivate your garden

119

: 00:07:00

with water and sunlight, fertilizer,

120

: 00:07:03

you got to cultivate that faith by prayer

121

: 00:07:06

through the sacraments, and through a life

of obedience to the gospel.

122

: 00:07:09

Number five

says, quote,

128

: 00:07:27

stand firm and take action.

129

: 00:07:33

130

: 00:07:35

The Bible doesn't call us to weakness.

131

: 00:07:38

It calls us to be courageous

and have fortitude.

132

: 00:07:42

Number six, here's another one.

133

: 00:07:44

Why should I allow Satan

to have supremacy over my life?

134

: 00:07:48

When the Bible says this, here's a promise

in first John four for the Bible says,

135

: 00:07:52

he who is in you, that's Jesus.

136

: 00:07:56

He who is in you.

137

: 00:07:56

Jesus is greater than he

who is in the world.

138

: 00:08:01

Satan. Did you catch that?

139

: 00:08:04

Christ in you

140

: 00:08:06

is greater than the one who lives

143

: 00:08:12

Number seven why should I accept defeat?

144

: 00:08:14

When the Bible says in Second Corinthians

chapter two,

145

: 00:08:18

verse 14, the Bible says, quote,

but thanks be to God,

146

: 00:08:23

who in Christ

Jesus always leads us in triumph,

147

: 00:08:30

and through us spreads the

148

: 00:08:32

fragrance of the knowledge of him

everywhere.

149

: 00:08:37

Wow. God is like the pacesetter.

150

: 00:08:40

He's like the point man

in a military platoon.

151

: 00:08:44

And the Bible says he leads us.

152

: 00:08:45

Christ leads us in triumph in this life

called spiritual warfare.

153

: 00:08:50

And the Bible also says that he spreads.

154

: 00:08:53

And we also help spread the fragrance

of the knowledge of Jesus everywhere.

155

: 00:08:58

What's that?

156

: 00:08:59

Evangelization.

157

: 00:09:00

Sharing your faith and living your faith

and wearing your faith on your sleeve.

158

: 00:09:03

Number eight

159

: 00:09:05

why should I lack wisdom?

160

: 00:09:07

When the Bible says

161

: 00:09:10

very clearly, said number nine.

162

: 00:09:12

Excuse me,

you already went to number eight.

163

: 00:09:13

Number nine.

164

: 00:09:15

Why should I fear sickness?

165

: 00:09:18

When the Bible says in Matthew chapter

eight, verse 17, quote,

166

: 00:09:22

Jesus took our infirmities

and bore our diseases.

167

: 00:09:25

Close quote.

168

: 00:09:26

And the Bible says in Isaiah chapter 53,

verse five about the Lord Jesus Christ.

169

: 00:09:31

It says, for with his stripes

these are Jesus Christ.

170

: 00:09:34

Stripes we are healed.

171

: 00:09:37

And remember the ultimate healing

172

: 00:09:41

is death.

173

: 00:09:42

If we live and die in a state of grace,

174

: 00:09:45

and we shed ourselves for this body

175

: 00:09:48

that's full of infirmities.

176

: 00:09:51

That's the ultimate healing is death.

177

: 00:09:54

The soul being in the presence

of God forever in the arms of God.

178

: 00:09:57

And one day God will restore that body

to those that live

179

: 00:10:00

and die in a state of grace

and that body will be made new.

180

: 00:10:04

Brand new.

181

: 00:10:06

Because Jesus says in revelation

chapter 21 verse

182

: 00:10:09

five, behold, I make all things new.

183

: 00:10:12

Even that broken body of yours at 90

years old one day will be made brand new.

184

: 00:10:18

Number ten.

185

: 00:10:19

Why should I worry and fret?

186

: 00:10:21

When the Bible says in first Peter chapter

five verse seven, it says,

187

: 00:10:26

cast all your anxieties on Jesus,

for he cares about you.

188

: 00:10:33

Offer everything to Jesus,

189

: 00:10:34

all your pains, joys, sufferings

when you go to bed at night.

190

: 00:10:38

Just give him the entire day.

191

: 00:10:41

Consecrate yourself to him in the evening.

192

: 00:10:44

You're going to go to sleep.

193

: 00:10:45

Jesus is going to be all.

194

: 00:10:47

He's going to be up all night anyhow.

195

: 00:10:49

Just give all your anxieties to him.

196

: 00:10:51

Number 11.

197

: 00:10:53

Why should I ever be in bondage?

198

: 00:10:55

When the Bible says in Second Corinthians

chapter five, verse 17,

199

: 00:10:59

where the spirit of the Lord is

there is freedom.

200

: 00:11:02

Did you hear that?

201

: 00:11:04

Where were the spirit of the Lord?

202

: 00:11:06

There is freedom.

203

: 00:11:08

And the Bible also says in Galatians

five one quote

204

: 00:11:11

for freedom Christ has set us free.

205

: 00:11:15

Set us free from what?

206

: 00:11:16

From the bondage of sin and Satan,

207

: 00:11:19

and from eternal damnation.

208

: 00:11:21

Number 12 why should I feel condemned

when the Bible says

209

: 00:11:25

in Romans chapter eight, verse one,

there is there.

210

: 00:11:28

There is therefore now no condemnation

211

: 00:11:31

for those who are in Christ Jesus.

212

: 00:11:34

Romans chapter eight, verse one.

213

: 00:11:36

If you live and die in a state of grace,

guess what?

214

: 00:11:39

There is no condemnation.

215

: 00:11:42

The only thing you'll receive

is mercy and salvation.

216

: 00:11:45

Number 13

217

: 00:11:47

why should I ever feel alone?

218

: 00:11:49

When Jesus said in Matthew chapter

28, verse 20, I am with

219

: 00:11:53

you always until the end of time.

220

: 00:11:56

Did you hear that?

221

: 00:11:57

You're never by yourself.

222

: 00:11:58

I don't care

if you're in a prison cell right now.

223

: 00:12:01

Somewhere on death row.

224

: 00:12:03

I don't care if you're a prisoner to

a terrorist organization across the pond

225

: 00:12:09

when you're with Jesus

226

: 00:12:11

and Jesus is with you as he promises,

you're never alone.

227

: 00:12:16

You and Jesus are an army of one.

228

: 00:12:20

Number 14 why should I feel accursed

or the victim of bad luck?

229

: 00:12:25

When the Bible says in Galatians chapter

three, verses 13 to 14, it says,

230

: 00:12:30

Christ redeemed us

from the curse of the law,

231

: 00:12:35

having become a curse

for us, that in Christ

232

: 00:12:39

Jesus the blessing of Abraham

might come upon the Gentiles.

233

: 00:12:43

That's us,

that we might receive the promise

234

: 00:12:46

of the spirit through faith.

235

: 00:12:51

What does that mean?

236

: 00:12:52

Jesus Christ died for our sins.

237

: 00:12:55

He had to do that and go to heaven

238

: 00:12:59

at the right hand of his father,

and Him and His father.

239

: 00:13:01

Send the Holy Spirit to us.

240

: 00:13:04

Christ bore our curse on the cross

241

: 00:13:08

so that

242

: 00:13:09

he can send His Spirit

to all the baptized.

243

: 00:13:12

Number 15 why should I feel worthless

when the Bible says

244

: 00:13:17

in second Corinthians 521 for our sake

245

: 00:13:21

he made him to be sin

246

: 00:13:25

who knew no sin, so that in him Jesus

247

: 00:13:29

we might become the righteousness of God

the Father.

248

: 00:13:33

Notice

249

: 00:13:35

Jesus Christ bore

250

: 00:13:37

our sins on his shoulders on that cross,

251

: 00:13:40

Jesus Christ, who was perfect and sinless

and knew no sin,

252

: 00:13:44

became a sin offering for us,

253

: 00:13:47

so that now

he can give us his righteousness,

254

: 00:13:52

infuse that righteousness,

and make us holy from the inside out.

255

: 00:13:56

Number 16 why should I be sad when,

like Saint Paul, the Bible says in

256

: 00:14:02

Philippians 411, quote, I have learned

257

: 00:14:05

in whatever state I am to be content.

258

: 00:14:10

Be happy.

259

: 00:14:11

Life is short. Death is for sure.

260

: 00:14:14

Sin is the problem, and Jesus is the cure.

261

: 00:14:19

And remember,

Jesus is coming back one day.

262

: 00:14:23

Number 17 why should I ever have

a persecution complex?

263

: 00:14:27

The Bible says in Romans 831,

If God is for us, who can be against us?

264

: 00:14:32

Don't have a persecution complex.

265

: 00:14:35

If God is for you, who can be against you?

266

: 00:14:38

Remember you and God and our army of 118.

267

: 00:14:45

Why should I be confused?

268

: 00:14:47

The Bible says in first Corinthians 1433

269

: 00:14:50

that God is not a God of confusion,

but of peace.

270

: 00:14:54

God wants to fill you with peace.

271

: 00:14:56

Peace of soul, serenity of conscience.

272

: 00:14:59

And the Bible also tells us

in first Corinthians chapter two, verse

273

: 00:15:03

12, quote, we have not received

the spirit of the world,

274

: 00:15:08

but the spirit that is from God,

275

: 00:15:10

so that we may understand

the things freely given us by God.

276

: 00:15:16

We don't have the world spirit.

277

: 00:15:19

The world spirit celebrates sin and death.

278

: 00:15:24

We have the Spirit of God which celebrates

279

: 00:15:28

life and goodness and beauty and truth.

280

: 00:15:32

Number 19.

281

: 00:15:33

Why should I feel like a failure

when the Bible says in Romans chapter

282

: 00:15:37

eight, verse 37,

it says, no, in all these things

283

: 00:15:41

we are more than conquerors through him.

284

: 00:15:44

Jesus who loved us.

285

: 00:15:46

We are more than conquerors.

286

: 00:15:48

Some translations say

we are more than victors.

287

: 00:15:51

Through Christ who loved us. Yes,

288

: 00:15:56

Jesus is the good Shepherd.

289

: 00:15:59

Jesus says, my sheep hear my voice.

290

: 00:16:01

I know them, and they follow me.

291

: 00:16:04

And he takes you and me,

292

: 00:16:07

and he puts us on a

big, broad divine shoulders,

293

: 00:16:13

and he's carrying us across

294

: 00:16:16

the chaos of this world into eternal life.

295

: 00:16:21

But we must be faithful to the gospel

of Jesus Christ

296

: 00:16:24

and walk in the obedience of faith

and be faithful, practicing Catholics.

297

: 00:16:29

Number 20.

298

: 00:16:33

Why should I feel the pressures of life?

299

: 00:16:37

And why should I let the pressures of life

bother me?

300

: 00:16:40

When Jesus said in John 1633,

301

: 00:16:43

he says, in the world

you will have trouble,

302

: 00:16:49

but take courage.

303

: 00:16:51

I have conquered the world.

304

: 00:16:54

John 1633.

305

: 00:16:57

Family.

306

: 00:16:57

Remember,

307

: 00:16:59

we have been one by one.

308

: 00:17:04

That's God, we have been one and purchased

309

: 00:17:09

by the one.

310

: 00:17:10

God was father, son, and Holy Spirit.

311

: 00:17:14

The next time the devil reminds you

of your past, remind him of his future.

312

: 00:17:18

He's going to hell.

313

: 00:17:21

And with calm and confidence.

314

: 00:17:25

Let's submit

315

: 00:17:25

ourselves into the hands of a holy God

316

: 00:17:30

who holds the world

in the palm of his hands.

317

: 00:17:34

And remember, pray

318

: 00:17:36

as if everything depends on God

and act as if everything depends on you.

319

: 00:17:42

So says Saint Augustine.

320

: 00:17:43

And I'll give Saint Augustine

the last word.

321

: 00:17:46

If you pray well, you will live well.

322

: 00:17:49

If you live well, you will die well.

323

: 00:17:51

If you die well, all will be well.

324

: 00:17:57

God bless you.

325

: 00:17:58

Family. Keep the faith.
