90 DAY FEAR DETOX OUR ORDERS FROM HEAVEN

Colossians 3:1-2 Since you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. (2) Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE WORRY & FEAR IT MEANS YOUR MIND IS SET ON THE NATURAL

Romans 8:6 (NASB) For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace

BUT YOUR MIND SET ON SPIRITUAL THINGS IS PERFECT PEACE

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

IS THE JOB OF THE CHRISTIAN TO “DO BETTER?” SORRY, BUT NO! IT’S TO LOVE GOD

Mark 12:29-30 "The most important [COMMANDMENT]," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. (30) Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'

THIS IS WHERE YOUR HEART IS SET ON GOD NOT YOURSELF

SAY “I LOVE YOU, GOD” OVER AND OVER UNTIL IT’S TRUE THIS IS OUR CALLING

Jeremiah 31:3 (AMP) The LORD appeared to me from ages past, saying, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.

AND THIS IS OUR OUR GREAT CHALLENGE BECAUSE MOST WILL GROW COLD

Matthew 24:12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

LOVE KEEPS LIGHT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE SO YOU CAN SEE

Revelation 2:4-5 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. 5 Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.

NOW EVERYTHING LOOKS DIFFERENT

Psalms 19:8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

[TAMMIE] SEEING A WORLD OF NEW POSSIBILITIES

ILLUSTRATION: CAMERA FOCUS ON THE FENCE → FOCUS ON THE PARK THE FENCE DISAPPEARS

OUR CONFESSION IS FIRST ABOUT WHAT WE SEE NOT WHAT WE SAY

TESS FACE TIME CAMERA: NO DEER, JUST FENCE (SHE’S JUST PRACTICING GOOD CONFESSION?)

WHEN A PERSON SEES ONLY THE FENCE & SAYS “I SEE FREEDOM” THAT’S NOT FAITH!

2 Corinthians 4:13 It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak,

IF YOU DON’T SEE IT YOU CAN’T SAY IT WITH FAITH

A PERSON SEEING THE PARK SAYS “I HAVE COMPLETE FREEDOM” HE SPEAKS REAL SUBSTANCE

John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

SPOILER ALERT: THE FENCE IS A LIE!

BEFORE YOU CRAFT A CLEVER CONFESSION MAKE THIS YOUR PRAYER

Psalms 119:18 Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law.

THEN JUST SAY WHAT YOU SEE

HOW SOMEONE IN LOVE TALKS → “BABY, I NEED YOU, I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU” IMPORTANT QUESTION: DOES HE REALLY MEAN IT? (IF NOT IT’S JUST MANIPULATION)

DO YOU MEAN IT WITH GOD?

BELIEVE THIS WORD: HE IS EVERYTHING

Acts 17:25 he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.

BELIEVE THIS WORD: WITHOUT HIM YOU CAN’T DO A THING

John 15:5-6 apart from me you can do nothing. (6) If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

BELIEVE THIS WORD: WE ARE DEAD WITHOUT HIM

Psalms 42:1-2 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. (2) My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

NO WATER: 3 DAYS→ DEAD

THEREFORE YOU SAY → “LORD, I NEED YOU, I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU”
