This video jam titled "Fear Not" comes from a sermon preached by Benjamen Leahey "Turn to Me with All Your Heart".
Joel prophesied during a plague of locusts. God raised up Joel for a reason, to call the people to repentance and to make a decision. He preached to the people to keep and follow the command to love the Lord. All Christians must be fully resolved to keep God’s commandments. Respond when God speaks! Turn to the Lord with all your heart, humble yourselves and repent for withholding any part of your heart from the Lord. We must be broken and contrite before Him! God is gracious and slow to anger. He relents from doing harm and does not enjoy judgment and destruction. The Church in our time focuses on the outward and ignores the inward. The people must show their seriousness and desire for the Lord. When the people turn to the Lord He will respond to them. If God’s people respond, pray, and seek God’s face they will be restored. God heals and mends! Do not become distracted and comfortable or settle for anything less! God calls us to rise up in faith. Trust God for something greater. Fear not! God has not given us a spirit of fear. We must lay our fears down and turn to God once and for all. Once you were in bondage but now you are free! All the former things will be made new. May we labor to know God living by faith and love! May we know Him and see His work around us. Turn to Him with all your heart.
When we no longer have the stomach for something, we are done with it. No re‐negotiation possible—we are done. I am done, for instance, with playing politics to sell something—I just can't bring myself to do that anymore. And I am so done with using God to get what I want. I just don't have the stomach anymore to try to use faith to get God to meet my needs. It makes me sick to even think about it. I am finally figuring out that being self‐centered is not in my best interest. I am finally figuring out that God is the standard for logic—and not me. He makes it very clear that I am to seek first His kingdom, and give no thought to chasing after the things I think I need in order to survive. That's what is in my best interest—pursuing God's kingdom!
When we are hungry, so to speak—when we want things—our senses kick in to all the same things that the nations of the world seek after. And we go to God, hoping He will give us those same things. But instead of giving us what we asked for, He offers us something else instead—something far more valuable than all the things in the world. He offers us a relationship. And not a long‐distance relationship. He offers us an intimate relationship—an intimacy that is not even known in the most perfect of marriages. He offers us a relationship where no separation exists. He offers us a relationship where He is in us, and we are in Him.

We ask things of God all the time without having any idea of His perspective. And we call it faith. How can we have faith in God though, if we don't understand who He is and what He represents? He wants us to agree with Him—to say what He says is so, to establish a different reality than the one we experience with our physical senses: • God is holy • God's kingdom has come and is here on this earth • God's will is what I do, just as it is done in Heaven • God takes care of me each and every day • I live under God's forgiveness • I forgive others • I live free from the fear of temptation, knowing that through His strength I can handle any temptation • I live free from the fear of evil, knowing that through His presence Satan has nothing to work with and no place to hide When we understand the nature of God and the nature of our relationship with Him, then and only then can we begin to “ask” of Him what we have any business in asking of Him.
Dr. Dobson invokes the old adage, "If you love something, set it free..." to explain that people are naturally more attracted to those who are self-confident and don't seem overly needy. And for romantic relationships or practically any other kind, this posture actually does seem to work!
If I wonder why my life is going haywire, it's because I don't ask. If I don't have, it's because I don't ask. Or if I do ask God in faith and I still don't have, it's because I'm asking for the wrong reason. Seeking after “all these things” as the nations of the world seek after just puts us in a place where we ask God in faith, but for all the wrong reasons. And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. Luke 12:29–30 (NKJV) It's when we pursue “all these things” first and foremost that they turn from needs into lusts. It's when we use faith in God in order to get “all these things” that they become a sort of perverted priority. Instead of developing our relationship with Him and making Him the priority, we use our relationship with Him to pursue a different priority—our own selfish interests. But when we passionately pursue God above all else, we somehow lose much of our passion for “all these things” and, strangely, a transformation occurs: What was once our lustful, passionate pursuit of all the things everybody else seeks after, cools way down. And what we thought we just couldn't live without becomes merely something that God knows we need—and something that God will provide.
Wanted to share an amazing true story of something that happened to our Senior Pastor, Jeff Williams. If you have ever thought that God doesn't care about you or doesn't know what you are going through, watch this...
If you were to ask me how many windows are in our home, I could walk my way through the house in my imagination and give you a perfect count and placement. I could do the same for the number of doors. But I would have a difficult time giving you a description and a location for all the photographs and paintings, throughout the house. Oh, I know all about those special ones that I purposely look at each day, but the others just sort of blend into the furniture and the walls. I can tell you all about the windows and the doors in our home because I look out each of the windows and open each of the doors on a regular basis. But, other than what I make a point of noticing, the artwork and photographs just sit on the furniture or hang on the walls, unnoticed. That is the problem with our religious traditions. They are either sitting or hanging all around us to the extent that we don't even know why they are there or what purpose they serve. Take what is commonly referred to as the Lord's Prayer. What is it about anyway? Does repeating it cover all the bases—regarding what God expects from us in prayer? In other words, when we've said this prayer are we done for the day, as far as God's requirements are concerned? Can we then go ahead and ask God for what we really want?

Heading upstairs to go to bed, my youngest son, when he was probably about ten years old, made a bold declaration: “When I grow up I'm going to get me a wife that can cook, clean, and wash my clothes!” Imagine the fall‐out for any young man who, when meeting his future in‐laws for the first time, makes the following statement, “I want to marry your daughter so she can cook, clean, and wash my clothes.” The absurdity of a young man entering into a marriage just so that he can get what he wants from his wife is obvious. But we don't seem to consider the absurdity of wanting a relationship with God just so that we can get what we want from Him. Here in the U.S. we “sell” people on Jesus based in large part on what Jesus can do to fix their problems. It's a lot easier to get people to say the “Sinner's Prayer” when their problems are overwhelming them. And while it's true that Jesus does fix everything, if we don't go a little deeper with Jesus than just to change undesirable circumstances, we will end up in a relationship with Him where He is nothing more than a vending machine for our needs. That kind of relationship doesn't work with a spouse. And it won't work with God.
