‘So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”’
Hebrews 13:6
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
I must.
Cast down.
The spirit.
Of.
Fear.
And.
Know.
That.
He.
Got me!
This morning.
As I.
Read.
II Chronicles 10.
11.
And.
12.
The Lord.
Sent me.
Back.
To review.
My notes.
From.
A sermon.
That.

‘Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” ‘
Hebrews 13:5
Majority.
Of.
His message.
Came.
From.
Hebrews 13:5.
With.
An.
Emphasis.
On.
Let your conduct.
Meaning.
Our.
Attitude.
Talk.
Thinking.
And.
Behavior.
Then.
He focused.
On.
Covetousness.
And.
How.
Many people.
Don’t.
Think.
It’s a.
Sin.
Look.
When.
Our.
Conduct.
Is.
Focused.
On.
What.
Others.
Have.
Then.
We.
Develop.
Envy.
And.
Jealousy.
When.
This.
Occurs.
We can’t.
Love.
Anyone.
We are.
Jealous.
Of.
Therefore.
We must.
Fight.
This spirit.
Off.
And.
Be.
Content.
With.
What.
We have!
I’ve learned.
That.
Man.
Will.
Create.
A narrative.
About.
Me.
That’s.
Not.
True.
To.
Fit.
How.
They.
Assume.
I suppose.
To.
Behave.
According.
To.
Their.
Standards.
And.
Expectations.
I used.
To.
Think.
People.
That.
Did this.
To me.
Hated me.
But.
I’ve learned.
This behavior.
Stems.
From.
Covetousness.
Ultimately.
They.
Don’t.
Covet.
What.
I have.
In.
The world.
They.
Covet.
My spirit.
‘Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm. ‘
Daniel 6:3
And.
The.
Favor.
Of.
The Lord.
On.
My life!
They know.
I’m.
Free.
And.
They.
Are.
Jealous.
Of.
My freedom.
Because.
They.
Have.
Compromised.
Their.
Soul.
To.
Fit in!
‘For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? ‘

About.
You.
However.
I want.
To.
Encourage you.
To.
Cast down.
The spirit.
Of.
Fear.
And.
Know.
They.
Can’t.
Touch.
You.
Because.
God.
Is.
Your.
Helper!

You.
From.
Their.
False.
Narratives!
