Title : Hindrances to Victory

1)Fear

• E.g " Approaching and engaging a conversation with people we first met/don't know.
• Fear exists in every single person.
• Our fears are our weaknesses. Fear is a sign of a lack of faith in God.
• Fear exists in every single person.
• Approach our fears. Only when we know our fears , then can we be well-prepared.
• *Admit that we have fears and approach of overcome . Face them.
• So , what are the current fears that we have? how do we overcome? what correct heart attitudes should we cultivate?
• Know our identity , fear will flee , and he will empower us.
• He won't tell us what we can't do but what we can.
• Don't have a negative perspective before even attempting as we tend to not make effort.

2)Lack Of True Faith

• Being faithless is the same as sinning. Don't be a believer in good times but also be a believer in tough times.
• Don't place our faith in Him based on the situations.
• Faith comes when you are sure of God's character and His Word.
• Apply what we learn through our teachings and not just acquire them as head-knowledge.
• God is unseen and when we believer we can achieve many great things for the KOG.

3)Physical And Mental Tiredness / Spritual Dryness

• How's our heart attitudes and thoughts?
• When we do things sub-standardly, ask someone(Shepherd/CL) to keep track of our attitude.Are we pleasing God or doing for the sake of it?

How should we adjust our thoughts and attitudes?

a) Fixing our eyes on Jesus. [ Hebrews 12:2-3 ]

• Our thoughts and attitudes don't change overnight.
• We can be physically tired but we must always maintain the right heart attitude.Don't dwell in problems - MOVE ON!

b) Fixing our eyes on the Results.

• Our methods may change , problems may come , but our vision NEVER changes.
• Magnify Him , not our problems. Don't focus on our problems.
• Don't give ourselves options , never give up.

c) Fixing our eyes on the Reward. [ 2 Corinthians 4:18 ]

• What is something we want God to tell us to when we rise up to heaven?
• God will reward us.

d) Fixing our eyes on God's Strength.

• We tend to look for people when we are down. Instead of doing so , we shoud look to Him for strength and joy.
• When we face obstacles , ask God what he wants us to learn from them.

4)Unresolved Sins

• Leads us to greater Sins. Satan is always ready to pull us away from God and spot our mistakes but God is always ready to forgive.
• Come to God with fear and humility. Fear God , Hate Sin.

5)Temptations

• Be clear of our temptations. Run away from them.
• Review our thoughts. Make sure they are right. [ Phillipians 2:6-8 ]
• Jesus had already overcame the temptations that we may go through.
