HEART TO HEART<br />
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff!<br />
Life can sometimes get to the point where it seems as if it’s nothing but a bunch of burdens.<br />
Actually, if you follow the news or even just look around you, there’s plenty you could get upset<br />
about. I want to remind you this month that compared to God and what He can—and will—do<br />
in your life, everything else is small stuff!<br />
Now, I’m not trying to belittle what you’re facing. But when we begin to worry about the situations<br />
around us, we magnify the possibility of failure and disappointment in our own minds. And eventually we can get to the<br />
point of not trusting God. We can forget how big our Lord really is.<br />
We must continually renew our minds to what the Word says to keep them from getting cluttered with the mess of the world.<br />
Matthew 11:28 says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Philippians 4:6 says, “Do<br />
not be anxious about anything” (NIV). First Peter 5:7 tells us, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (NIV).<br />
Get hold of these words and don’t turn loose of them! Begin to grasp the truth that God is greater than any problem you’ll<br />
ever face.<br />
Instead of fretting about circumstances, focus on the Lord’s faithfulness. Instead of pondering your problems, begin to press<br />
into His promises. Instead of wallowing in worry, begin to worship your wonderful Heavenly Father. Don’t sweat the small stuff . . .<br />
because God will deliver you every time!<br />
If you’re ready to lighten your load and cast all your cares on the Lord, be sure to check out my article on page 4. And you won’t<br />
want to miss our <strong>Rhema</strong> Bible Training College USA graduation report on page 11. We now have more than 60,000 graduates<br />

Lighten<br />
YourLoad<br />
Sometimes when Lynette and<br />
I go to the mall, I like to sit and<br />
watch people while she shops. It’s<br />
fun observing people as they go<br />
by. One thing I’ve noticed is that<br />
most of them look like they’re<br />
carrying the weight of the world<br />
on their shoulders.<br />
Life in general can<br />
Kenneth W. Hagin<br />
load us down. But<br />
God never designed<br />
us to be burdened with heavy loads.<br />
The good news is that God made a way<br />
of escape for us. Jesus said, “ ‘Come to<br />
me, all you who are weary and burdened,<br />
and I will give you rest. Take<br />
my yoke upon you and learn from<br />
me, for I am gentle and humble in<br />
heart, and you will find rest for your<br />
souls’ ” (Matt. 11:28–29 NIV). Jesus<br />
is saying, “If you’ll stay with<br />
Me, you can go through life with<br />
a light load.”<br />
Know Your Load Limit<br />
Many bridges have signs<br />
posted near them that read<br />
“load limit.” These signs indicate<br />
how much weight the<br />
bridge can bear. If vehicles that<br />
are heavier than the load limit try<br />
to cross, that bridge can begin to<br />
crumble under the weight.<br />
In our personal lives, we also have<br />
load limits. Some people are able to<br />
carry heavier loads than others. But<br />
all of us can get to the point where<br />
we are so weighed down that we<br />
can’t function. Life seems to have a<br />
way of loading us down beyond our<br />
load limit.<br />
Some of life’s weights are mental and emotional pressure.<br />
Pressure in relationships. Pressure on the job. Some people are<br />
carrying memories. They may have experienced failure or defeat,<br />
and they have not been able to move beyond it.<br />
We’ve probably all lain awake in bed at night thinking about<br />
something that concerns us. When this happens, we don’t get<br />
much sleep and our body is robbed of its rest. Then when the<br />
alarm clock goes off, we’re not physically, mentally, or emotionally<br />
ready to face the day.<br />
Although Jesus promised to give us rest, we have a part to play<br />
in receiving it. We have to cast our cares on Him (1 Peter 5:7). If<br />
we don’t let go of our cares, He can’t carry them.<br />
Steps to Take<br />
There are things we can do to lighten our load. Here are some<br />
practical steps that will help us rise above the pressures of life.<br />
Make right<br />
choices.<br />
We have to make the<br />
right choices if we’re going to<br />
have a carefree life. This includes<br />
choices in our thought life, our<br />
relationships, our activities, the<br />
places we go, what we see, and<br />
who our friends are.<br />
Second Corinthians 6:14 tells<br />
us not to be “unequally yoked<br />
with unbelievers.” The New Living<br />
Translation says, “Don’t team<br />
up with those who are unbelievers.”<br />
The Apostle Paul is telling us not<br />
to link up with those who don’t<br />
believe the same way we do. We<br />
can be strong in faith, but if we<br />
come together with someone who<br />
doesn’t believe like us, we can be<br />
pulled into the arena of doubt and<br />
unbelief.<br />
4 THE WORD OF FAITH // <strong>August</strong> ‘13
Learn to laugh.<br />
We need to lighten up and not take ourselves or<br />
life so seriously. Philippians 4:4 (NKJV) says, “Rejoice<br />
in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” If we’ll just<br />
start to laugh whenever we’re feeling down and out, it will<br />
change our entire attitude.<br />
Lynette and I have learned to do this when the stress<br />
and strain of running the ministry tries to overwhelm us.<br />
Laughter changes our outlook.<br />
Sometimes we have to start out in the natural by saying,<br />
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. The Lord is my strength! Ha, ha, ha,<br />
ha, ha. I will make it, because God says I can do all things<br />
through Him Who strengthens me. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!”<br />
When we do this, before long we’re really laughing and<br />
feeling a whole lot better, because we’ve opened the door<br />
for the Holy Spirit to come in and carry our load.<br />
Speak right words.<br />
When trials come, instead of asking, “Why is<br />
this happening to me?” speak the Word of God. “No<br />
weapon formed against me will proper” (Isa. 54:17). Don’t<br />
say, “I don’t know how I’m going to make it.” Instead say,<br />
“My God shall supply all of my needs” (Phil. 4:19).<br />
When my dad was faced with any kind of pressure,<br />
he always said, “This is just another opportunity to prove<br />
that God’s Word works.” Anytime we’d ask him, “What<br />
are we going to do?” he’d reply, “What does the Bible say?”<br />
The Word always has the answers we need.<br />
We don’t have to let any of life’s pressures burden us down.<br />
When we realize that God will lighten our load, we’ll have a lot<br />
more fun.<br />
Sing!<br />
I like Southern Gospel and Country Gospel music.<br />
Not everyone likes that kind of music, but that’s<br />
what lifts me up. Lynette and I have music playing<br />
in our house all the time. It creates an atmosphere.<br />
Good Christian music helps us realize that we don’t have<br />
to carry burdens.<br />
Several years ago Bobby McFerrin recorded a song that<br />
became an overnight hit—“Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” Someone<br />
bought me a fake fish mounted on a plaque. When<br />
you push a button on the plaque, the fish sings “Don’t<br />
worry. Be happy!” When my grandkids were younger,<br />
they’d push the button all the time. We’d sing along with<br />
the fish and just start laughing!<br />
Pray.<br />
Paul gave us good advice when he wrote, “Do<br />
not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by<br />
prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to<br />
God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,<br />
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”<br />
(Phil. 4:6–7 NIV 1984).<br />
Paul is telling us not to be anxious about anything.<br />
When we come to God in prayer and turn our situation<br />
over to Him, the peace of God will guard our hearts and<br />
minds.<br />
in Troubled Times<br />
Through Jesus Christ, God has given us<br />
everything we need to survive and even thrive<br />
when trouble arrives. We can weather any<br />
storm and have new hope for the future.<br />

Craig W. Hagin<br />
When adversity arises, many<br />
Christians try to figure out<br />
how to fix the problem themselves<br />
instead of turning their<br />
situation over to the Lord. When<br />
they do this, they are allowing<br />
themselves to be governed by<br />
their minds. They don’t realize<br />
it, but they are only limiting<br />
themselves.<br />
Basically, our minds are carnal.<br />
I’m not talking about sin; I’m<br />
talking about the way we think.<br />
The carnal mind will limit us in<br />
every way: in our finances, our<br />
abilities, and so forth. When<br />
our mind isn’t renewed with the<br />
Word of God, it’s quick to tell us<br />
what we can and can’t do. It will<br />
tell us there’s no way out of our<br />
situation.<br />
One reason our minds tell us<br />
these things is that we’ve been<br />
taught them. We learn in school<br />
by reading and studying books.<br />
But we also learn through experience.<br />
For example, many parents<br />
have told their children not<br />
to touch a hot stove. But some<br />
kids don’t listen and touch it<br />
anyway. They learn from experience<br />
why they shouldn’t touch a<br />
stove when it’s hot.<br />
Some people have had bad<br />
experiences with other people.<br />
And because of that they feel<br />
that people can’t be trusted.<br />
And a lack of trust in people often<br />
translates into a lack of trust<br />
in God. Why? Because part of<br />
trusting God involves letting<br />
people minister to<br />
you. God ministers through His<br />
people. Yes, it’s true that people<br />
miss it and make mistakes. But<br />
we also have to remember that<br />
many people are trustworthy.<br />
We shouldn’t let any bad experience<br />
dictate the way we live the<br />
rest of our lives.<br />
Changing the<br />
Way We Think<br />
Many people don’t realize it,<br />
but the devil attacks us in our<br />
minds because our minds<br />
control who we are. That’s why<br />
it’s important that we learn to<br />
live by the Spirit of God and not<br />
by the carnal mind.<br />
It’s when we get out of<br />
our minds that we’ll get<br />
into God’s mind. That’s when<br />
things will start happening.<br />
When we quit trying to figure<br />
things out, God and His ability<br />
will be able to shine through us.<br />
But as long as we’re trying to<br />
do something, we’re not letting<br />
God work in our lives.<br />
In Isaiah 55:8 the Lord says,<br />
“My thoughts are not your<br />
thoughts, neither are your ways<br />
my ways.” This scripture challenges<br />
us to start thinking the<br />
way God thinks. When we do,<br />
our perspective will change.<br />
We’ll stop saying things like,<br />
“I can’t do that,” or, “I can’t afford<br />
that.”<br />
If we keep trying to do things<br />
in our own strength and ability,<br />
those things won’t work.<br />
But when we let go and let<br />
God, we’ll take the limits off.<br />
When our minds are stayed on<br />
Him, there’s no limit to what we<br />
can do.<br />
Who’s In<br />
Charge?<br />
Our mind will always try to<br />
dominate us. The Apostle Paul<br />
tells us in Ephesians 4:23, “Be<br />
renewed in the spirit of your<br />
mind.” He goes on to admonish<br />
us not to allow any corrupt<br />
communication to come out of<br />
our mouths (v. 29). And he exhorts<br />
us to get rid of all bitterness,<br />
wrath, anger, clamor, and<br />
evil speaking (v. 31). An unrenewed<br />
mind will naturally do all<br />
of these things.<br />
But when we begin to think<br />
the way God thinks, we’ll “be<br />
kind to one another, tenderhearted,<br />
forgiving one another”<br />
(Eph. 4:32).<br />
Paul encouraged us to set<br />
our minds on things above<br />
(Col. 3:2 NKJV). He knew that<br />
when we do, our lives will<br />
change and we won’t allow our<br />
thoughts to hold us back.<br />
So let’s get out of our minds<br />
and change the way we think.<br />
When we line our minds up with<br />
the Word of God, there’s nothing<br />
we can’t do!<br />
rhema.org 7
The Four F’s of<br />
Success<br />
When you read the title of this article, you<br />
may think that an F doesn’t sound successful.<br />
Normally you get an F when you fail a subject in<br />
school. But if you want to succeed in your Christian<br />
walk, the four F’s I’m about to share with<br />
you are going to be a tremendous benefit.<br />
Stay Focused<br />
One of the most important things we must do if we want to be<br />
successful in life is to stay focused. In this day and age, sometimes<br />
it’s difficult to do that because we have so many choices.<br />
For example, when we go to the grocery store in the United<br />
States to buy cereal, we’re faced with an abundance of choices.<br />
If we travel overseas, in some countries we might find only a<br />
few brands of cereal. Or we might find one brand of deodorant<br />
instead of the variety we have in the U.S. When we have an<br />
abundance of choices, it can be easy to get confused in making<br />
a selection.<br />
We will have many opportunities in life to get sidetracked from<br />
doing what God has called us to do. If we’re not careful to stay<br />
focused, we will become “hindsighted.” That’s what happened to<br />
the children of Israel in the wilderness. Moses led them out of<br />
Egypt toward the Promised Land, but their focus was all wrong.<br />
They kept looking back. Every time something went wrong or<br />
they became frightened, they cried out to Moses, “Why didn’t you<br />
leave us back there in Egypt?”<br />
Lynette Hagin<br />
When troubles befall us, it’s so easy to start<br />
looking back. But refuse to look back. Instead,<br />
focus on what’s ahead. The Apostle Paul said<br />
in Philippians 3:13–14, “Forgetting those things<br />
which are behind, and reaching forth unto those<br />
things which are before, I press toward the mark for<br />
the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Paul was saying,<br />
“Press on! Press on!”<br />
So what is our focus supposed to be? Let’s focus on how we<br />
can win the lost to the Lord. Jesus said in Mark 16:15, “Go ye into<br />
all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” His Great<br />
Commission should be our most important focus in life.<br />
Stay Fixed<br />
God has provided tremendous victory for us through His<br />
Word. But if we want to experience that victory, we must keep<br />
our hearts fixed on the Lord. It’s important for us to be fixed on<br />
Jesus not only as our Savior, but also as our Healer, our Provider,<br />
and our Rock.<br />
Psalm 112:6–7 says, “Surely he [the upright] shall not be moved<br />
for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall<br />
not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.”<br />
When we hear some kind of bad report, we need to plant our<br />
foot firmly on the Rock and say, “Devil, my foot is on the Rock<br />
and my mind is made up. I put you on notice—I am going to<br />
make it!”<br />
8 THE WORD OF FAITH // <strong>August</strong> ‘13
Whenever sickness, temptation, financial trouble, or any other kind of attack<br />
comes against us, we can boldly declare, “My heart is fixed on the Word.<br />
And the Word says that God will be with me in trouble, and that He will deliver<br />
me (Ps. 91:14–15). He always causes me to triumph in Christ (2 Cor. 2:14)!”<br />
We need to make sure that our anchor is secure on God’s Word. Then when<br />
the waves of tribulation come, we can stay steady.<br />
Be Faithful<br />
Did you know that you are planting seeds today that will produce a harvest<br />
in your life tomorrow? But what kind of seeds are you planting? Are they seeds<br />
of faithfulness?<br />
Luke 16:10 says, “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in<br />
much.” Verse 12 goes on to say, “If ye have not been faithful in that which is another<br />
man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?” In other words, we must be<br />
faithful in helping others fulfill their vision before God will help us fulfill our<br />
vision.<br />
Faithfulness is one of the fruit of the Spirit described in Galatians 5:22.<br />
And God wants us to be faithful in every area of our lives. Be willing to do the<br />
menial tasks, and be faithful to do them with excellence. Whatever your hand<br />
finds to do, do it with all of your might and to the best of your ability, and God<br />
will be faithful to promote you in His season!<br />
You can develop your faithfulness—along with the other fruit of the Spirit—as<br />
you choose to give your whole heart in serving and obeying the Lord.<br />
Be Fruitful<br />
If you stay focused, fixed, and faithful, then you’re going to be fruitful. You’re<br />
going to fulfill the four F’s of success. You may not see the fruit immediately.<br />
But eventually, in the right season, you will produce fruit.<br />
Psalm 1:1–3 says, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly<br />
. . . but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and<br />
night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, THAT BRINGS FORTH<br />
ITS FRUIT IN ITS SEASON, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does<br />
shall prosper” (NKJV).<br />
When harvest time comes, we’ll bear much fruit. Why? Because we’ve been<br />
rooted and grounded in the Word. We’ve been watered and fed. And we’ve<br />
been pruned and sprayed.<br />
Then, when the enemy throws us a curve, we’ll stand strong like the tree<br />
that’s planted by the rivers of water. And when the winds of life try to blow all<br />
of our fruit to the ground, we can boldly declare, “Satan, you cannot destroy<br />
my fruit! I’ve stayed focused. I’ve stayed fixed on the Lord. I’ve stayed faithful.<br />
And now I’m going to be fruitful. Nothing can hinder me from bearing fruit<br />
for the Lord!”<br />
Confessions<br />
Faith in action<br />
Make these confessions daily to help you fulfill<br />
the four F’s of success.<br />
Focused—I will keep<br />
my eyes focused on Jesus<br />
and how I can win the lost<br />
to the Lord.<br />
Fixed—I will not allow<br />
myself to be moved by<br />
trials. I am standing on the<br />
Rock and His Word.<br />
Faithful—By God’s<br />
grace, I will be faithful in<br />
every area of my life.<br />
Fruitful—Because I’m<br />
staying focused, fixed, and<br />
faithful, I will bear much<br />
fruit for the Lord.<br />

®<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> USA Graduates 39th Class<br />
On Friday, May 17, <strong>Rhema</strong><br />
Bible Training College USA<br />
graduated its newest class,<br />
nicknamed “The Starters.” This<br />
special group of 356 bold men<br />
and women didn’t wait for graduation<br />
day to begin sharing the<br />
love and power of God with this<br />
generation. They immediately<br />
took what they learned in the<br />
classroom into malls, airports,<br />
bus stations, and grocery stores.<br />
And we’ve received testimony<br />
after testimony of people’s lives<br />
being changed.<br />
One woman was healed of<br />
stage four breast cancer after<br />
one of these students laid<br />
hands on her at a makeup<br />
counter. Another student got an<br />
80-year-old man filled with the<br />
Holy Spirit after this man overheard<br />
him talking to a friend in<br />
a restaurant bathroom!<br />
On graduation night, Dr. David<br />
Beebe, traveling minister and<br />
1977 <strong>Rhema</strong> Bible Training<br />
College graduate, encouraged<br />
these amazing graduates to<br />
continue pouring themselves<br />
out for God.<br />
In comparison to eternity,<br />
whatever time we spend on<br />
this planet is like a vapor.<br />
We might as well give it all<br />
to God. That’s part of being<br />
a vessel unto honor. Second<br />
Timothy 2:21 says, “He shall<br />
be a vessel unto honour,<br />
sanctified, and meet for the<br />
master’s use, and prepared<br />
unto every good work.”<br />
As I was studying this portion<br />
of Scripture one day, three<br />
things dropped into my spirit,<br />
and I’d like to share them<br />
with you.<br />
A vessel unto honor is first<br />
of all washed. No matter what<br />
kind of vessel you have—<br />
it could be a cup, a bottle,<br />
or something larger—before<br />
you’re ever going to use it,<br />
you’re going to wash it out.<br />
That’s what happened when<br />
we were born again. First<br />
Corinthians 6:11 says, “but<br />
ye are WASHED, but ye are<br />
sanctified, but ye are justified<br />
in the name of the Lord<br />
Jesus, and by the Spirit of<br />
our God.” John 15:3 says,<br />
“Ye are CLEAN through the<br />
word which I have spoken<br />
unto you.” We find the same<br />
thought in Ephesians 5:26:<br />
“That he might sanctify and<br />
cleanse it [the church] with<br />
the WASHING of water by the<br />
word.” A vessel unto honor is<br />
a clean vessel.<br />
Secondly, the contents put<br />
in a vessel indicate the value<br />
and trust a person has in it.<br />
I’m not going to take a very<br />
expensive perfume and put it<br />
in a cracked vessel. I’m not<br />
going to put my trust in it.<br />
In First Corinthians 6:19 Paul<br />
says, “Know ye not that your<br />
body is the temple of the<br />
Holy Ghost which is in you?”<br />
After we are saved, we have<br />
the great opportunity to be<br />
1<br />
2<br />
3<br />
filled with—baptized in—the<br />
Holy Spirit. God must have<br />
some trust in us as vessels,<br />
because the Holy<br />
Spirit on the inside is<br />
very valuable. What He’s<br />
put inside us makes us a gift<br />
to the world.<br />
Lastly, a vessel, no matter<br />
what it’s filled with, doesn’t really<br />
fulfill its purpose in life until<br />
its contents are poured out.<br />
Likewise, our true purpose<br />
as ministers of the<br />
Gospel of Jesus Christ,<br />
and as Christians, is to<br />
pour out what has been<br />
put into us by God. That’s<br />
being a vessel unto honor.<br />
We’ll never find our true purpose<br />
in life until we begin to<br />
pour out somewhere.<br />
You’re not here at <strong>Rhema</strong> by<br />
accident. Before Kenneth E.<br />
Hagin ever drew his first breath,<br />
his purpose was to help usher<br />
in that last great move of the<br />
Spirit before Jesus returns. I<br />
once asked him, “Well, if that<br />
was the purpose of God on<br />
your life, and there’s been a<br />
special anointing on your life,<br />
then what about any student<br />
who was ever led to come<br />
to RBTC? If they maintain<br />
Did You Know?<br />
the same purpose on their<br />
life that you have on yours,<br />
wouldn’t they have the same<br />
anointing?”<br />
He said, “The same anointing.”<br />
You may have never been<br />
in a ministry position yet,<br />
but you’ve got the same<br />
purpose we do here—to<br />
help usher in that last<br />
great move of the Spirit<br />
before Jesus returns.<br />
And there will be an anointing<br />
on your life!<br />
Be a vessel unto honor. Stay<br />
clean, stay filled with the Holy<br />
Ghost, and keep that purpose<br />
fresh! Go and be a part of<br />
something God is doing and<br />
pour out your gifts all around<br />
the world!<br />
As the new graduates prepared<br />
to march out of the auditorium<br />
at the end of the evening,<br />
Kenneth W. Hagin left them<br />
with these words ringing in their<br />
hearts: “I charge you to be true<br />
to the things you’ve been taught<br />
and have learned. Go forth.<br />
Do what God has called you<br />
to do!”<br />
In addition to receiving a traditional<br />
diploma, RBTC graduates<br />
receive a red runner’s relay baton. The inscription on<br />
each baton reads, “I commit today to carry the baton of revival to<br />
this generation. I will carry the banner of faith and God’s power to<br />
a lost and dying world. This is my time to do all God has called<br />
me to do.”<br />

A World-Changing<br />
Movement<br />
Kenneth W. Hagin<br />
Everyone in the Body of<br />
Christ has a part to play in fulfilling<br />
the Great Commission.<br />
There is something that each<br />
one of us can do. And to make<br />
the greatest impact for the Kingdom<br />
of God, it’s important that<br />
each of us finds our part.<br />
Some Christians are called to<br />
leave their families and friends<br />
and take the good news of<br />
the Gospel to other countries.<br />
Others are supposed to stay<br />
behind. Their cities and neighborhoods<br />
become their mission<br />
field. Wherever we are, we need<br />
to be winning souls to Christ.<br />
Although it’s been 10 years<br />
since Dad went home to be with<br />
the Lord, the mandate that God<br />
gave him so long ago to “go<br />
teach My people faith” still continues<br />
at <strong>Rhema</strong>. Lynette and<br />
I, along with our children and<br />
their spouses, are committed<br />
to carrying out what God has<br />
called this ministry to do.<br />
At Campmeeting 1973, when<br />
Dad said under the inspiration<br />
of the Holy Spirit,<br />
“We’re going to start a<br />
Bible school,” we never<br />
dreamed <strong>Rhema</strong> would<br />
become what it is today.<br />
We have graduates living and<br />
ministering across the U.S. and<br />
in 80 other nations. Since the<br />
school’s beginning in 1974,<br />
over 60,000 people have graduated<br />
from <strong>Rhema</strong> worldwide.<br />
Right now, there are 162<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> Bible Training College<br />
12 THE WORD OF FAITH // <strong>August</strong> ‘13<br />
campuses in 46 nations. Plus,<br />
we have a stack of applications<br />
for new campuses that people<br />
want to open.<br />
We’re finding that many of our<br />
international students were<br />
already in full-time ministry<br />
before enrolling to study at<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong>. What’s exciting about<br />
this is that they already have a<br />
platform from which they can<br />
share what they’ve learned. And<br />
they’re immediately taking what<br />
they’ve learned in the classroom<br />
and teaching it to their<br />
congregations.<br />
One pastor who is attending<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> Haiti didn’t know that<br />
God heals today. But after hearing<br />
12 hours of teaching on<br />
‘W e’v e o f t e n s a i d t h a t t h e s u n n e v e r s e t s<br />
o n a R h e m a g r a d u a t e. W e c a n n o w s a y<br />
Christ the Healer, he went back<br />
to his church and held a healing<br />
meeting. During the service, two<br />
people—one with a brain tumor<br />
and the other with breast cancer—were<br />
miraculously healed!<br />
A recent graduate of <strong>Rhema</strong><br />
Shillong, which is located in<br />
northeast India, is the first<br />
and only female bishop in her<br />
denomination. She heads up<br />
53 congregations with more<br />
than 12,000 members. Now<br />
that she’s graduated, her top<br />
priority is to share what she<br />
has learned at <strong>Rhema</strong> with her<br />
congregations. She only wishes<br />

R h e m a c a m p u s w h e r e s o m e o n e i s<br />
s t u d y i n g t h e W o r d o f G o d.’<br />
that she had learned the truths<br />
that <strong>Rhema</strong> teaches earlier.<br />
When I was a young boy, I remember<br />
hearing Dad pray,<br />
“Lord, how am I going to get<br />
this message out? I’m just one<br />
man.” Well, the message is out!<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> grads are teaching the<br />
faith message everywhere. And<br />
as more and more people hear<br />
The message is out!<br />
about faith in God, who they<br />
are in Christ, and their authority<br />
as believers, nations are<br />
being transformed and<br />
many souls are being won<br />
to the Kingdom of God.<br />

SPECIAL REPORT: INTERNATIONAL RHEMA<br />
Following God’s Call<br />
to the Land Down Under<br />
From the moment they stepped foot on Australian soil in<br />
2006, Tony and Patsy Cameneti, 1983 and 1977 <strong>Rhema</strong> USA<br />
graduates, knew they were exactly where God wanted them to<br />
be. This “land down under” had been in their hearts and prayers<br />
for two years. And they were certain that everything they had<br />
experienced up to this point had prepared them to follow God’s<br />
call in this nation.<br />
Tony and Patsy met at <strong>Rhema</strong> USA in 1981. Patsy had remained<br />
on staff after graduating. She served as vocal director of<br />
Faith’s Creation, a singing group; coordinator of the Prayer and<br />
Healing Center; and an instructor at <strong>Rhema</strong> Bible Training<br />
College.<br />
Born again for only a few years, Tony had left his large<br />
Italian family behind to attend Bible school. Upon graduation,<br />
he returned to his home state of Ohio and helped his<br />
brother Joe establish a church. He eventually came back to<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> as bass player—and ultimately, manager—for the<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> Singers & Band.<br />
To the Nations<br />
In 1989, eight years after they met, Tony and Patsy<br />
married. Several years later, the Lord began dealing with<br />
them about moving to Sicily. Though Tony and Patsy<br />
always had missions on their hearts, they were still surprised.<br />
They had assumed they would live in Tulsa and<br />
travel to the nations.<br />
However, in 1993, just three months after the birth of<br />
their first daughter, Liliana, they moved to Altavilla Milicia.<br />
In this small mountain town outside Palermo, Sicily,<br />
their second daughter, Annalisa, was born 16 months<br />
later.<br />
Once overseas, the Camenetis spent two years setting<br />
up a Bible school to train church leaders. Realizing how<br />
easy it was to travel to other European countries, they also<br />
ministered in Bible schools, churches, and conferences in<br />
a number of other nations.<br />
From Sicily, Tony and Patsy moved to Rome where<br />
they again oversaw a Bible school. It was here that they<br />
heard <strong>Rhema</strong> was beginning to open campuses around the<br />
world. And it immediately came into their hearts to help.<br />
They spent three years helping <strong>Rhema</strong> Italy get started in<br />
Verona.<br />
“Our years in Italy were really valuable,” Patsy noted.<br />
“We learned a lot.” But in 2002, after nearly nine years in<br />
this nation, God opened yet another door.<br />
Singapore Calls<br />
“We were actually looking for a house in Italy,” Tony<br />
recalled. Then they received a phone call from Lynette<br />
Hagin that changed everything. She asked if they would pray<br />
and consider becoming the directors of <strong>Rhema</strong> Singapore, as the<br />
current director was returning to the States.<br />
After doing just that, the Camenetis knew this was the right<br />
opportunity. So in 2002, they packed their bags and moved to<br />
Singapore to take over running the school. For four years, they<br />
poured all they had into eager and attentive students. Deep<br />
down, however, they knew Singapore wasn’t their last stop.<br />
Nevertheless, they were surprised again when a few years<br />
later God dropped into their hearts another nation—Australia.<br />

Did You Know?<br />
In addition to <strong>Rhema</strong><br />
Australia, Patsy and Tony<br />
are directors of <strong>Rhema</strong><br />
Papua New Guinea.<br />
Future Plans<br />
» Establish additional<br />
campuses. Among the<br />
campuses Tony and<br />
Patsy are considering is<br />
one in the Outback for<br />
the Aboriginal people.<br />
» Plant churches.<br />
There are already two<br />
additional <strong>Rhema</strong> Family<br />

» Raise up more local<br />
believers to teach in<br />

churches, and reach<br />
nations. Aussies are<br />
well received all over<br />
the world, so they can<br />
go to places that may<br />
be difficult for others to<br />
enter.<br />
Neither Tony nor Patsy had ever<br />
imagined they’d serve in this country,<br />
but as they prayed over a period of<br />
two years, they knew God was in it.<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> Australia<br />
In 2006, the Camenetis once<br />
again packed up their family and<br />
moved—this time to Brisbane, Australia.<br />
They had a strong desire to see<br />
Faith Library Publications’ books on<br />
that side of the world, and the first<br />
thing they did was start Kenneth<br />
Hagin Ministries Australia. They<br />
purchased a building and set up a<br />
warehouse for book distribution.<br />
Then they set their sights on reestablishing<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> Bible Training<br />
Centre Australia. <strong>Rhema</strong> previously<br />
had two campuses there—one in<br />
Perth and one on the Gold Coast.<br />
Those graduates were already producing<br />
fruit across the nation, but<br />
the Camenetis knew that God wasn’t<br />
finished yet. “Part of our assignment<br />
here has been to finish what <strong>Rhema</strong><br />
was sent here to do in the beginning,”<br />
explained Tony.<br />
In March 2010, <strong>Rhema</strong> Australia’s doors opened once again—<br />
this time in Brisbane. Students came from all over Australia to<br />
attend, and it was clear to Tony and Patsy that God had been<br />
preparing these men and women for this time.<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> Australia’s students tackle a fast-paced schedule, completing<br />
first- and second-year subjects in one year. The school is<br />
registered with the Australian government as a training organization,<br />
which means students receive a fully accredited diploma<br />
upon graduation. But it also means a lot of hands-on activities<br />
are required.<br />
A favorite of both the Camenetis and the students—and a significant<br />
training tool—is the monthly Explosion Day. Students,<br />
led by the Holy Spirit, go into shopping malls, railway stations,<br />
and many other public places to win the lost. RBTC Australia is<br />
located in an area that has many economic and social challenges<br />
and numerous international residents. This makes it the perfect<br />
training ground. Since <strong>Rhema</strong> Australia began Explosion Day,<br />
hundreds of people have been born again, healed, and filled with<br />
the Spirit.<br />
Noticeable changes are also taking<br />
place in the students as they realize<br />
who they are in Christ. On one<br />
occasion, several students went to a<br />
hospital to pray for a woman with<br />
spinal meningitis. They laid hands<br />
<strong>2013</strong> Graduates<br />
on her and she was healed and released from the hospital the<br />
very next day.<br />
The Camenetis are also seeing results in the third area of their<br />
ministry—<strong>Rhema</strong> Family Church. The church was founded by<br />
<strong>Rhema</strong> graduate and evangelist Terry Walker. He prayed for six<br />
years for God to send pastors to take it over. Tony and Patsy were<br />
the answer to his prayers. And with the Lord’s help, they have<br />
seen the church steadily grow.<br />
God has assembled a widely diverse group of people—from<br />
doctors and other professionals to ex-drug addicts. All are experiencing<br />
the transforming power of the Word of God in their lives.<br />
One church member, Annie, had lumps on her back. She<br />
heard Tony preach that believers are blessed coming in and going<br />
out. That hit her as a word from the Lord. Not caring what<br />
the neighbors thought, she started walking back and forth across<br />
the threshold of her door—going in and out. And every lump<br />
disappeared!<br />
“It’s a privilege to be a part of something<br />
that’s proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus<br />
Christ in the world.”<br />
The church is also very outreach-oriented. The “Go! Suburb<br />
Invasion” program focuses on reaching different areas of the community.<br />
Many of the church people are also sharing the Gospel<br />
in their everyday lives. One couple regularly visits the local train<br />
station to share Jesus. Over the last several months, they have led<br />
over 260 people to the Lord. Another young man with a Samoan<br />
background recently got a Samoan chief saved outside the local<br />
shopping center.<br />
When Tony and Patsy see God at work like this in the lives<br />
of the people, they know it’s the Word that makes the difference.<br />
And they are truly grateful they’re able to pass on the truths <strong>Rhema</strong><br />
instilled in them.<br />
“<strong>Rhema</strong> laid the foundation of the Word of God and the ministry<br />
of the Holy Spirit,” Tony said. “Because I stayed on campus<br />
long enough, I also learned the practical part of ministry. Pastor<br />
Hagin taught me so much along that line and made me finish<br />
things. I don’t know if I would even be in ministry if it weren’t<br />
for that.”<br />
“It’s a privilege to be a part of something that’s proclaiming the<br />
Gospel of Jesus Christ in the world,” Patsy added. “And being able<br />
to equip and train other<br />
people to do the same . . .<br />
it’s just an honor.”<br />

Redeemed<br />
From the Curse of<br />
Poverty Kenneth E. Hagin<br />
Paul says in Galatians 3:13,<br />
“Christ hath REDEEMED us . . .”<br />
If you ask Christians “What did<br />
Christ redeem us from?” they<br />
usually say, “From sin.” That’s<br />
partly true, but it’s not nearly<br />
the whole story.<br />
The rest of this verse tells us in<br />
no uncertain terms what Christ<br />
redeemed us from: “Christ hath<br />
redeemed us FROM THE CURSE<br />
OF THE LAW.”<br />
In the New Testament, “the Law”<br />
can mean either the 10 Commandments,<br />
the first five books<br />
of the Bible, or the entire Old<br />
Testament. In Deuteronomy<br />
chapter 28, Moses stated the<br />
blessings and curses of the Law.<br />
The curse for breaking God’s<br />
commandments was threefold:<br />
poverty, sickness, and spiritual<br />
death. Christ has redeemed<br />
us from all of these. But here I<br />
Special Offer<br />
What Does ‘Redeemed’ Mean?<br />
Jesus has redeemed Christians from the curse of<br />
spiritual death, sickness, and poverty! Through this<br />
teaching you’ll understand who you are in Christ and<br />
the blessings you now have in Him.<br />

want to focus on the blessing of<br />
being redeemed from the curse<br />
of poverty.<br />
The curse of poverty should<br />
come upon all of us, because<br />
we all have sinned and come<br />
short of the glory of God (Rom.<br />
3:23). But Galatians 3:13 tells<br />
us that Jesus was made to be<br />
a curse for us. Jesus became<br />
our substitute. He paid the debt<br />
for our sins through His death<br />
on the cross. And God wrote it<br />
down as though we had paid<br />
the debt for sin ourselves! Now<br />
because of Jesus, we are free<br />
from the curse of the Law—and<br />
that includes poverty.<br />
The Blessing of<br />
Abraham<br />
Let’s look in Galatians chapter<br />

that THE BLESSING OF ABRA-<br />
HAM MIGHT COME ON THE<br />
GENTILES though Jesus Christ”<br />
(vv. 13–14).<br />
Under the New Covenant, Abraham’s<br />
blessing belongs to us!<br />
The blessing of Abraham is<br />
threefold in nature: spiritual,<br />
physical, and material. In Deuteronomy<br />
we see the material<br />
and financial blessings we now<br />
have in Christ.<br />
DEUTERONOMY 28:3–6, 8<br />
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the<br />
city, and blessed shalt thou be in<br />
the field. [You’ll be blessed wherever<br />
you are!]<br />
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of<br />
thy body, and the fruit of thy<br />
ground, and the fruit of thy cattle,<br />
the increase of thy kine, and<br />
the flocks of thy sheep.<br />
5 Blessed shall be thy basket<br />
and thy store.<br />
6 Blessed shalt thou be when<br />
thou comest in, and blessed<br />
shalt thou be when thou goest<br />
out. . . .<br />
8 The Lord shall command<br />
the blessing upon thee IN THY<br />
STOREHOUSES, and in all that<br />
thou settest thine hand unto:<br />
and he shall bless thee in the<br />
land which the Lord thy God giveth<br />
thee.<br />
Some Christians say you<br />
shouldn’t desire material possessions<br />
in this life. But God<br />
says He will bless what you<br />
have stored up! He promises<br />
an abundant supply!<br />
It’s unscriptural to believe that<br />
God wants us to live in lack in<br />
this life. In Matthew 6:33 Jesus<br />
promised us that if we’ll seek<br />
first God’s Kingdom, we will be<br />
taken care of. He talks about<br />
the material things of life, such<br />
as food to eat and clothes to<br />
wear, being added unto us<br />
(Matt. 6:31–32).<br />
Enjoying the<br />
Blessings!<br />
We have to believe God’s promises<br />
and exercise faith by walking<br />
in the light of His Word in order<br />
to receive His blessings. And it’s<br />
important to know that we have<br />
a part to play in activating these<br />
blessings.<br />
For example, God promised to<br />
bless the work of our hands<br />
(Deut. 28:12), the fruit of our<br />
ground (Deut. 28:4), and our<br />
storehouses (Deut. 28:8). He expects<br />
us to work (2 Thess. 3:10).<br />
But as we put our hands to something,<br />
we can trust Him to prosper<br />
what we do.<br />
So don’t settle for living under<br />
the curse of poverty. God wants<br />
you to live an abundant,<br />
prosperous life. You’ve<br />
been redeemed from the<br />
curse of the Law by the<br />
blood of Jesus Christ.<br />
Stand on God’s Word and claim<br />
the blessing of Abraham that is<br />
yours in Christ. Believe God for<br />
a full supply in every area of<br />
your life!<br />

Many people imagine God as a mean fellow sitting up in<br />
Heaven with a big flyswatter. They think the minute they make<br />
a mistake, He’s going to swat them. But that’s not what the Bible<br />
says!<br />
Psalm 145:8–9 tells us that God is gracious, full of compassion,<br />
slow to anger, and of great mercy—to all people. In these<br />
verses, the words compassion and mercy are translated from the<br />
same Hebrew word. They mean the same thing. In other words,<br />
to be merciful means to be full of compassion. And that’s God’s<br />
character.<br />
Now, there are quite a few people who think of God’s mercy<br />
only in relation to salvation for sinners. Thank God, His mercy<br />
is extended to sinners. But Second Corinthians 1:3 says God is<br />
the Father of “mercies”—plural. We see this again in Psalm 106:7:<br />
“They [the Israelites] remembered not the MULTITUDE of thy [God’s]<br />
mercies.”<br />
What were the “multitude” of mercies God showed to the<br />
children of Israel? For one thing, God’s mercies were shown in<br />
the wonders and miracles He performed in delivering them out<br />
of Egypt where they had been held captive. The psalmist called<br />
those wonders God’s mercies. And those mercies encompass all<br />
the Lord’s provisions—including healing.<br />
A Hidden Truth Revealed<br />
You see, when Jesus was on earth, He didn’t just heal to prove<br />
His deity. Scripture says that He healed because of His compassion,<br />
or mercy.<br />
I think this truth has really been hidden from the Church today.<br />
But when our faith is just as strong in God’s mercy of healing<br />
as it is in His mercy of forgiveness, we’ll be healed just as easily<br />
as we were forgiven.<br />
Let’s look at a few passages of Scripture that show the compassion—the<br />
mercy—of the Lord in regard to healing.<br />
MARK 1:40–41<br />
40 And there came a leper to him [Jesus], beseeching him, and kneeling<br />
down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me<br />
clean.<br />
41 And Jesus, MOVED WITH COMPASSION [or mercy], put forth his<br />
hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.<br />
According to dictionary definitions, to have compassion is<br />
to love tenderly, to pity, to show mercy, and to be full of eager<br />
yearning. That means that Jesus, full of tender love, pity, and an<br />
eager yearning to help and bless, laid His hands on this leper and<br />
healed him. Hallelujah!<br />

We find this same compassion in Matthew chapter 20.<br />
MATTHEW 20:30–34<br />
30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus<br />
passed by, cried out, saying, HAVE MERCY ON US, O Lord, thou son of David.<br />
31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they<br />
cried the more, saying, HAVE MERCY ON US, O Lord, thou son of David.<br />
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?<br />
33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.<br />
34 So Jesus HAD COMPASSION ON THEM, and touched their eyes: and immediately<br />
their eyes received sight, and they followed him.<br />
Notice that these two blind men asked the Lord for mercy. Then Jesus responded,<br />
“What will ye that I shall do unto you?” The blind men replied, “Lord,<br />
that our eyes may be opened.” These men asked for the mercy of having their eyes<br />
opened, and Jesus granted them the mercy or compassion of healing. Healing<br />
is a mercy!<br />
Throughout the Gospels, we see again and again how Jesus was moved with<br />
compassion toward suffering humanity. Matthew 14:14 says, “Jesus went forth,<br />
and saw a great multitude, AND WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION toward them,<br />
and he healed their sick.”<br />
In Mark chapter 5 we find the story of the madman of Gadara. Jesus cast<br />
the demons out of him and the man was delivered. He later told the man, “Go<br />
home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, AND<br />
HATH HAD COMPASSION on thee” (Mark 5:19).<br />
Jesus was plenteous in mercy—in compassion—to all who needed healing.<br />
That means God is the same way. Remember, Jesus said, “He that hath seen me<br />
hath seen the Father” (John 14:9).<br />
Is God’s Healing Mercy for You?<br />
How far does the Lord’s compassion and mercy reach? Only to the forgiveness<br />
of sins? No! The Bible says, “The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies<br />
are over all his works” (Ps. 145:9). If you are in Christ (Eph. 2:10), then you are<br />
one of God’s “works”! And because you are one of His works, His mercies are<br />
over you. That includes His healing mercy.<br />
Jesus is just as compassionate, loving, and merciful now as He was in the<br />
Bible. Begin to see healing as a mercy of God. Don’t try to base obtaining healing<br />
on works—or on anything else but your faith in His mercy. When you do<br />
that, you will see His healing mercy manifest in your life.<br />
You can receive whatever it is you need from your Heavenly Father, because<br />
God is the Father of mercies!<br />
Receive Your Healing<br />
Faith in action<br />
When we are born again, we come into contact with all of<br />
God’s mercies—including healing. But we make it possible<br />
for Him to bless us by coming to Him in faith (Heb. 11:6).<br />
Start meditating on the fact that Jesus is<br />
just as compassionate now as He was in the<br />
Bible. Even if it doesn’t seem real to you, keep speaking<br />
it and reading the scriptures that say Jesus was moved<br />
with compassion to heal. Don’t think about it just a time or<br />
two. Feed on it until His compassion registers in your spirit<br />
and becomes real to you. That’s when you’ll get results!
‘Devil, You Can’t Fence Me In’<br />
Brenda Thomas<br />
Our attitude when we are<br />
facing difficult situations determines<br />
our altitude. If we’re<br />
whining, complaining, and<br />
murmuring, it won’t get us very<br />
far. Just ask the children of<br />
Israel—that was what got them<br />
into trouble. But rejoicing<br />
always brings God on the<br />
scene.<br />
We can learn a valuable lesson<br />
from a guy in the Bible<br />
who was going through a really<br />
tough time. Talk about various<br />
trials! Just read what this man<br />
was experiencing. “Though the<br />
fig tree may not blossom, nor<br />
fruit be on the vines; though<br />
the labor of the olive may fail,<br />
and the fields yield no food;<br />
though the flock may be cut<br />
off from the fold, and there<br />
be no herd in the stalls . . .”<br />
(Hab. 3:17 NKJV).<br />
That sounds like bad news,<br />
doesn’t it? That sounds like<br />
a terrible day. There are trials<br />
with the fig trees and trials with<br />
the flock. There are trials in the<br />
fields. Every area of Habakkuk’s<br />
livelihood is being attacked.<br />
What did he do? Look at verses<br />
18 and 19: “Yet I will rejoice in<br />
the Lord, I will joy in the God of<br />
my salvation. The Lord God is<br />
my strength; He will make my<br />
feet like deer’s feet, and He will<br />
make me walk on my high hills”<br />
(NKJV).<br />
What was he doing? First of all,<br />
he made the decision to rejoice.<br />
And how did he rejoice? He<br />
began to magnify the Lord. He<br />
began to declare some things.<br />
He said, “The Lord is my<br />
strength. The Lord will make my<br />
feet like hinds’ feet” (v. 19 KJV).<br />
The hind is a red-tailed deer,<br />
and I’m told that you can hardly<br />
fence these animals in. They can<br />
leap high fences. So what was<br />
Habakkuk saying? “Devil, you<br />
can’t fence me in! There might<br />
be a test here, a trial there,<br />
some trouble here, and some<br />
lack there. But my God is coming<br />
upon me. He’s anointing my<br />
feet, and I’m going to leap right<br />
out of this mess.” That’s what he<br />
was saying. There is always<br />
a way out with God.<br />
The Bible Kind<br />
of Joy<br />
In Habakkuk 3:18, the word joy<br />
is not some kind of quiet, inner<br />
strength. According to Strong’s<br />
Hebrew Dictionary it means to<br />
be glad, to be joyful, and it suggests<br />
dancing and leaping for<br />
joy. The verb originally meant<br />
to spin around with intense<br />
emotion.*<br />
This is contrary to the idea that<br />
the biblical concept of joy<br />
is only an inner sense<br />
of well-being. That’s<br />
well and good,<br />
but there comes a time when<br />
you have to act upon the Word<br />
of God. There comes a time<br />
when you have to lift your<br />
hands. You have to shout unto<br />
the Lord. You may even need<br />
to dance or spin around. You<br />
have to do whatever it takes to<br />
release the joy of the Lord on<br />
the inside of you and shake off<br />
depression and oppression.<br />
Joy will restore and it will make<br />
things better than before. God<br />
doesn’t just give back what the<br />
enemy stole. He gives all of that<br />
back plus even more, added<br />
and multiplied unto you. You<br />
can’t beat a joyful believer!<br />
Fear Not, Be<br />
Glad, Rejoice!<br />
What are our instructions for<br />
receiving restoration? Look at<br />
what Joel 2:21 says: “ ‘FEAR<br />
NOT, O land; BE GLAD and RE-<br />
JOICE, for the Lord has done<br />
marvelous things!’ ” (NKJV).<br />
The first thing we have to do is<br />
fear not. Fear connects us to the<br />
things that we don’t desire. But<br />
we have been given the ability<br />
to resist fear and put it<br />
out of our lives.<br />

We need to be “Teflon Christians.”<br />
That means nothing sticks<br />
to us. Whatever the enemy tries<br />
to bring against us—thoughts of<br />
fear, lack, and destruction—none<br />
of them sticks to us because we<br />
are rejoicing.<br />
Second, if we want to walk in<br />
restoration, we have to make a<br />
decision to be glad, not sad. The<br />
Bible says that God has made<br />
us glad (Ps. 92:4)! Knowing<br />
Jesus and being assured of His<br />
love and how much He cares for<br />
us should be enough to keep<br />
our gladness level high.<br />
Third, we are instructed to rejoice.<br />
When we do that, we’re<br />
going to step into the overflow.<br />
We’re going to step into<br />
restoration.<br />
Refuse to fear. Refuse to be<br />
moved by the various trials that<br />
show up. Stand firm on the<br />
Word, rejoice, and watch God<br />
do great things. The best is yet<br />
to come for you!<br />

“The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a<br />
sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be Like<br />
a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”<br />
- Isaiah 58:11 (NIV 1984)<br />
A lady once approached evangelist D.L. Moody<br />
and told him she had found a wonderful promise in the Bible<br />
that helped her overcome fear. Her verse was Psalm 56:3: “What<br />
time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” Mr. Moody replied, “Why,<br />
I have a better promise than that!” And he quoted Isaiah 12:2:<br />
“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid.”<br />
It would be easy to be overcome with fear in our world<br />
today. Violent crimes are escalating, and natural disasters are<br />
occurring in many areas. Certainly we are living in the last days.<br />
I am so thankful that in the midst of perilous times, the Word of<br />
God gives us assurance that if we have made God the center of<br />
our lives, we do not have to fear. I often heard my father-in-law<br />
say, “Fear and faith cannot reside together. If you are in fear, you<br />
are out of faith.”<br />
It is so important to conquer fear. Fear will paralyze and<br />
enslave you. It will cause you constant worry and turmoil.<br />
God never intended for us to be enslaved by fear. In fact, when<br />
writing to Timothy, Paul said, “God hath not given us the spirit of<br />
fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7).<br />
So often our fears are unfounded. My husband relates how<br />
as a young boy he was trying to go to sleep when suddenly<br />
outside his window he saw a shadow resembling a man’s hand.<br />
He immediately became frightened and thought someone<br />
was trying to break in. After several minutes of shaking from<br />
fright, he decided to conquer that fear by opening the door<br />
and looking outside. When he did, he saw that the shadow was<br />
caused by a mimosa tree limb blowing in the wind. The enemy<br />
always brings the worst thoughts to your mind.<br />
We must allow faith in<br />
God to replace fear. The<br />
Lord said many times in the<br />
Bible, “Fear Not.” In Mark<br />
chapter 4 we read of a time<br />
when Jesus and His disciples<br />
got into a boat and He said to<br />
them, “Let us pass over unto the other side” (v. 35). Jesus went to<br />
sleep and suddenly a great storm arose. The wind and waves<br />
began to beat on the ship. Afraid, the disciples woke Jesus up<br />
and said, “Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and<br />
rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind<br />
ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are<br />
ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” (vv. 38–40).<br />
The secret to victory over fear is faith in God. He is there to<br />
solve any problem in your life. Psalm 46:1–2 says, “God is our<br />
refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not<br />
we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be<br />
carried into the midst of the sea.”<br />
From the time our children were young, my husband and I<br />
taught them the 91st Psalm. Let me share some verses with you.<br />
PSALM 91:1–2; 14–16 (NLT)<br />
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the<br />
shadow of the Almighty.<br />
2 This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of<br />
safety; he is my God, and I trust him.<br />
This psalm continues with many great promises of<br />
protection. Then at the end, the Lord speaks.<br />
14 . . . “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust<br />
in my name.<br />
15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I<br />
will rescue and honor them.<br />
16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”<br />
I encourage you to find scriptures in the Word of God<br />
concerning fear. Read them every day. Make them such a part of<br />
your routine that when a fearful situation arises, your immediate<br />
response is the same as D.L. Moody’s: “Behold, God is my<br />
salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid.”<br />

way to hear what your heart sounds like. Jesus said, “out of the<br />
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matt. 12:34). In<br />
other words, whatever your heart is full of will come out of your<br />
mouth. You can hear your heart through the words you<br />
speak! Read the words of the Bible characters below and then<br />
match the phrase to the letter below it that best describes what<br />
was in their heart.<br />

(Luke 5:8)<br />

3. “ Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down<br />
from heaven, and consume them . . . ?” —James<br />
and John (Luke 9:54)<br />
4. “ Father, forgive them; for they know not what they<br />
do.” —Jesus (Luke 23:34)<br />
5. “ Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers,<br />
and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat<br />
and drink?” —Scribes and Pharisees (Luke 5:33)<br />
6. “ Master, carest thou not that we perish?” —The disciples<br />
on the boat during the storm (Mark 4:38)<br />
