"According to the Bible."


According to the Bible.

According to the Bible, we as Believers do not the right or privilege to fear, doubt, or worry. The very moment that you pick up fear, doubt, or worry is the very same moment that you lay down faith and trust. You can not hold both of these at the same time.

Also as Believers, we don’t have the right or privilege to growl, gripe, complain, or murmur. God gave us an example of this with the children of Israel. After God delivered them out of captivity in Egypt, they began to growl, gripe, complain, and murmur; this lead to a point where the spies came back with the horrible complaints of the people who lived in the promise land. (There are giants in the land) As an example for us, God gave the children of Israel a desert which also contained their own grave.

Some Believers think that they are “called” to this ministry of growling, griping, complaining, and murmuring. They give vent to this to their spouses, president, nation, boss, job, church, or pastor. This ought not to be. If they continue in this, there lot in life will be a desert that might also contain a grave.
 
If you know of a believer like this, then the path of freedom is to lay fear, doubt, worry, growling, griping, complaining, and murmuring on the altar and walk away leaving it there with Jesus. Don’t go back to visit it or to pick it up again.
