That is the voice of the fear of pain, and Pastor Steve Cioccolanti calls it Satan's greatest tool. It cripples you before the pain even arrives.
You've been told Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. But the people who lived the first Christmas were fleeing for their lives: the Magi taking a detour, Joseph crossing a border by night, a family hiding for years from a king. They were the safest people on earth, next to God Himself, and they were terrified.
Pastor Steve, who preached this message to another church the week before and watched dozens respond, closes his ABCs of Defeating Fear series with seven things you must know to stop the fear of pain.
"Fear comes from not knowing what God knows."
You'll discover:
What kind of pain carries a reward, and what kind doesn't
Why nobody around you seems to feel your pain
The piece of armor that gets easier to use every time
If you carry a pain you've tucked away, watch now and let God be God.
