FIRE FLIES: Squal Factor(Pt 7)

A common misconception in Christian Life is that, if we are living according to God's Word, there will be no storms in life.  The truth is that all Christians will face storms as the disciples did (even though Jesus was in their boat)  Read: Mark 4:35-41  Sometimes Jesus calms the storm in our life, but more often, Jesus calms us, helping us through the storm.  Storms or challenges in life rock our faith which for some can lead to panic attacks. Whether we are experiencing a panic attack ourselves or are around someone who is going through an attack we can apply God's Word to the situation to bring calm to the storm.

Going to Proverbs 16:24, start with offering kind words to the person in the situation.

Whether you arte experiencing panic or are with someone in panic practice the 'Honeycomb Principle:

1. Just do now.  Matt 6:34 Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it’s own.
2. Trust in Him (not in me). John 14:1 Do not let your hearts be troubled.
3. Trust in God, trust also in meI am not alone. Matt 28:20  And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.
4. Do this through Me  2 Cor 12:9 My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
5. If the Lord wills. Matt 19:26 With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.
6. He beat this storm. John 16:33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
