Bible Pills to Overcome Fear

Fear is a powerful destructive force that wars against your soul. Fear wants to drain your inner strength and your love—it will distort your reality and confuse your senses.

There are many types of fear: fear of death, fear of public speaking, fear of flying, fear of being alone, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of intimacy, fear of rejection, fear of poverty, the fear of man, fear of darkness, etc.

I wrote this prayer book to help you overcome fear with prayers from the Bible.

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Tim. 1:7

When fear manifests the best thing you can do is to confront it right away. You got to ask: what am I really afraid of? Am I afraid of failure and criticism? Am I afraid of being rejected? Am I afraid my weakness will be exposed… that others will judge me or withdraw? Am I afraid of being successful and misjudged by my friends?

Then, once the root cause of your fear is exposed, choose to trust in the Lord by praying the following verses from the Bible.

Read, meditate and pray in first person. When you do (and every time you do it) you will see your faith growing and your fear diminishing. Just try it.

I have compiled 61 carefully selected passages from Scripture that can take you out of fear and anxiety. Turning these (hand picked) Bible quotes into prayers will be a liberating experience for you.

In Part one of this book, I wrote a “prayer” after every quote, to give you an idea on how you can turn these verses into prayers. You can use the next four parts of the book to journal and make your own prayers.

Like in every book of the Prayer Book Series, I recommend you follow these steps to the letter, to maximize each verse for your benefit:

1. Read one quote at a time.

2. Highlight a phrase from the quote that captures your attention.

3. Pray that phrase to God—in first person. Personalize the prayer.

4. After praying declare that phrase over your soul (over your mind, feelings, will and emotions).

Follow the previous 4 steps with each quote. And when you do it believe that God’s word is working on your mind and rewiring your emotional chemistry.

If you put all doubt aside and follow my instructions you won’t reach quote number 7 that you’ll start feeling differently. And the more you do it the better you’ll feel.

This is the third book of the Prayer Book Series; you may also enjoy the first: 201 Prayers for Healing:

Are you ready to get started? Let’s conquer fear with prayer!

Overcoming Fear (Part 1)

ISAIAH 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Prayer: I believe you are with me Lord. You are my God. You strengthen me and help me. Even now, I can overcome fear because you uphold me with your hand.

PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Prayer: Father I make known my request before you… I drop all worry and anxiety and let your peace rule my mind and guard my heart in Christ Jesus.

PSALM 56:3

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

Prayer: Starting today Lord, whenever I’m afraid, teach me to put my trust in you.

2 TIMOTHY 1:7

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Prayer: Fill me with your power oh God. Teach me the art of self-control as I believe in you and overcome the spirit of fear.

MATTHEW 6:25-34

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Prayer: I surrender all my anxieties before you Lord and consider the flowers of the field. How they grow and how You take care of them. So I trust in your kindness and believe You will take care of me.

DEUTERONOMY 31:6

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

Prayer: Strengthen me with your presence God. Make me bold and courageous because you go with me wherever I go. And you will never leave me nor forsake me.

1 PETER 5:6-7

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Prayer: Now in the name of Jesus I choose to humble myself and cast all my fears and anxieties on you, because you care for me—all the time and in every situation.

PSALM 34:4

I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

Prayer: I seek your face Lord. Answer me and deliver me from all my fears.

GENESIS 50:21

So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

Prayer: Thank you for your provision Lord. I choose to trust in the laws of your Kingdom and not be afraid. Even when the world economic system trembles, I believe You will provide for me. You will never leave me nor forsake me.

1 JOHN 4:18

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

Prayer: Direct my heart into your love oh God. Because your love cast away all my fears.

JOSHUA 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Prayer: Oh Lord, strengthen me. I choose to be strong and courageous. No matter the situation, I refuse to panic and dismay… I will trust in you!

ISAIAH 35:4

Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.”

Prayer: Thank you that you are watching. Thank you that you will come and save me. You will avenge me from my enemies. I will be strong and fear not!

JOHN 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Prayer: I receive your peace Jesus. I will not allow my heart to be troubled. I will not let my mind drawn in anxiety… I will trust in you and you will feel me with your peace.

MATTHEW 6:34

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Prayer: Oh Lord, my tomorrow is in your hands. I will not waste my time worrying about it. You are with me today and you will be with me tomorrow.

PROVERBS 12:25

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

Prayer: I now speak Your Word to my heart. I will speak of your goodness and grace. I will meditate on your beauty and marvelous works, knowing that you care for me.

PSALM 23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Prayer: Darkness and death may surround me, but You are with me oh Lord, and you are the Light of this world… you are the Way, the Truth and my LIFE!

Overcoming Fear (Part 2)

LUKE 12:22-26

And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?

PSALM 27:1

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

ROMANS 8:31-39

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

PSALM 27:1-14

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.

PSALM 55:22-23

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in you.

ROMANS 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

HEBREWS 11:1

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

ISAIAH 43:1

But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.

HEBREWS 4:14-16

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Overcoming Fear (Part 3)

LUKE 10:19

PSALM 94:19

When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

PSALM 91:1-16

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day.

ISAIAH 54:17

No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

1 JOHN 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 CORINTHIANS 13:13

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

PROVERBS 14:27

The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.

JOB 11:14-15

If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents. Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear.

EXODUS 14:14

The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”

PROVERBS 16:6

By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.

PSALM 111:10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

HEBREWS 2:14-15

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.

MATTHEW 28:20

Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

ROMANS 8:1-39

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

Overcoming Fear (Part 4)

1 PETER 2:17

PSALM 27:1-3

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.

HEBREWS 1:1-14

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?

PSALM 118:6

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

DEUTERONOMY 1:26-46

Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to heaven. And besides, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.”’ Then I said to you, ‘Do not be in dread or afraid of them. The Lord your God who goes before you will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.

JOB 3:25

For the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.

MATTHEW 10:26

So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

LAMENTATIONS 3:57

You came near when I called on you; you said, ‘Do not fear!’

ISAIAH 26:1-21

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks. Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in. You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. For he has humbled the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust.

HEBREWS 9:11

But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)

MATTHEW 5:1-48

Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

PSALM 31:10

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

JOHN 3:6-17

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things?

ISAIAH 1:1-31

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: “Children have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me. The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master's crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.” Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

ROMANS 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

How to Overcome Fear

By Jim Still-Pepper

Fear tempts us to take our focus off of God and to put it on whatever circumstances threaten us. This change in focus is why God tells us to “Fear not!”

When the storms of life are dark and raging, when the waves of life are hovering way over my head, when I call out for Jesus and he seems to be sleeping rather than helping me—then I am afraid.

WHAT FEAR ISN’T

Fear is not a sign of failure. It does not mean that we are weak or that we are not brave. The bravest people in the world have been afraid, but they were not overcome by fear.

WHAT FEAR IS

Fear is a feeling that makes us dread what we may encounter in the future. We may be afraid of taking a test, getting married, not getting married, being loved, not being loved, being alone. Sometimes we fear spiders, snakes, height—even fear itself.

Fear tempts us to take our focus off of God and to put it on whatever circumstances threaten us. This change in focus is why God tell us to “Fear Not!” God wants us always to look to God.

Read the story of Peter walking on the water in Matthew 14:22–36. Peter was able to walk on the water until he took his eyes off of Jesus. When Peter focused on the waves and the wind, he became afraid and began to sink. You know the feeling, don’t you? But if you know Jesus, you will not give in to fear!

HOW TO HANDLE FEAR

We can’t always choose the things that make us afraid, but we can choose what we do with our fear.

F - Focus on your faith, not on your fear (Colossians 3:1).

E – Enlist God’s help (Matthew 7:7).

A - Accept the peace that Jesus offers (John 14:27).

R - Rest in God. Be still and know that God is God (Psalm 46:10).

N - Nothing can separate you from God’s love (Roman 8:35–39).

O - Order your life, knowing that God is most important (Matthew 6:25–34)

T - Trust Jesus, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

Memorize these passages. When you are afraid, remember God’s word.

CHOOSE PEACE

When you are afraid, imagine Jesus giving you a gift. If you open it, you will find God’s gift of peace. If you choose not to open it, then fear will continue to take your focus away from Jesus. You can choose what you do with fear. Choose peace!

THE REST OF THE STORY

We understand how the disciples felt that night in the boat on a stormy sea. They were afraid for their lives. But read Mark 4:39–41 to see what happens next. Jesus speaks and calms the seas. Jesus speaks to calm the storms in our lives too.

DIG DEEPER

Make a list of things of which you are afraid. Then read Mark 4:35–41. Imagine that your life is a small boat floating in the ocean. Imagine that the things you fear are waves ready to swamp your little boat. You turn to Jesus for help. Hear Jesus say to the waves, “Peace! Be still!” What happens? How do you feel? What do you say or do? (Mark 4:35–38).

Living for God By Overcoming Fear

By Kent Grant

Fear is common to the human experience. Every individual has had times when he or she has been fearful. Fear is an emotional reaction to a perceived threat and how a person responds to scary situations goes a long way in determining the impact that he or she will have on the world. Many human accomplishments are only achieved in spite of the challenge of fear. What does the Bible have to say about fear and what approach does it recommend for overcoming fear and living as God would desire?

The Bible indicates that fear is not given to human beings by the Lord God. When Paul was encouraging Timothy to use the gifts that God had placed within him, he reminded Timothy that rather than fear, God had given him power, love, and self-control to use to serve him (2 Timothy 1:6, 7). Like Timothy, people become fearful when they forget what they have already been given by God to do what he has called them to do. Fear results from focusing on the challenge rather than trusting God’s supply to be sufficient to handle any challenge that may come. The fearful person is unable to please God because pleasing God requires faith and fear gets in the way of the proper exercise of faith. Fear is overcome as the individual exercises the gifts given by God. Power, love, and self-control, used with the power of God and according to his specific direction, will overcome the challenge of fear and allow the individual to follow God fully.

Jesus made a close connection between fear and lack of faith. Matthew recorded a time when Jesus’ disciples followed him into a boat (Matthew 8:23-27). When a storm came up, the disciples became fearful despite the fact that they were in the boat with Jesus. As the water began to swamp the boat, the disciples believed that they were all about to die. Everything in their past and their logical minds told them that a boat in such conditions could not keep them from drowning. Yet, when the disciples sought Jesus’ help, he chastised them for their lack of faith. Fear kept Jesus’ disciples from remaining calm and trusting in the fact that he was present with them and able to help them in any way necessary. This was made clear when Jesus calmed the waves with a word. Their fear was a result of not understanding who Jesus was and the resources they had available solely by putting their trust in him.

When God desired to deliver his people under the leadership of Gideon, he first had to remove all those who were fearful or had hearts that were timid (Judges 7:1-3). He could not use the fearful to accomplish the task that he had prepared for Gideon and those who followed him. God knew that each person would have to act with courage by taking a divinely directed risk and potentially exposing himself to death at the hands of the enemy. Such courage could come about only by trusting God and believing that success would come through careful listening to the Lord and faithful obedience to his every direction. Fear disqualifies the individual from being chosen by God to do his work. It keeps him or her from accomplishing the works that God prepared beforehand to do (Ephesians 2:10). These works are only completed by exercising faith and trust in God.

Much wrong and sinful activity has its genesis in fear of what other people think and do (Mark 11:32). Such fear also prevents people from standing up for the truth. The Bible is clear that only God is to be feared and such fear is where true knowledge of how things really work begins (Proverbs 1:7). Living with faith and courage is possible as a result of a proper acknowledgment that God sees all and is the true judge of all. The only right way to live is to obey completely the Lord as master and to do whatever he asks. Such obedience does not give in to fear of people or circumstances, but acts in complete and total trust that whatever God requires, he will supply all that is necessary to accomplish. Only a proper fear of God and belief in him as the judge of all is able to overcome the natural fear that so easily comes upon people as they live out their days.

Fear is a sign of an unbelieving heart. The second death is the end for those who have not trusted in the Lord Jesus for their salvation (Revelation 21:8). The cowardly are among those who fall into this category. To be cowardly is to refuse to acknowledge that God is real and that Jesus has done all that is necessary to effect salvation for those who trust in him. The cowardly have minds set on the natural and hearts that are hard to the things of God. The minds of such people are carnal and fear is the natural result of a mind that relies only on the natural self and not on God. A coward is unable to take the necessary step of faith that produces salvation.

Fear is the opposite of faith. It results from a lack of true, experiential knowledge of God and his ways. It obstructs the ability to choose the path that results in eternal life. God has provided every resource required to overcome fear and live the life that God has planned.

Power, love, and self-control, when used under God’s power and according to his direction, are sufficient to overcome fear and have the abundant life that Jesus promised to all who follow him!

WARNING: Before you read the next 201 Scriptures you need to eliminate all uncertainty concerning God's will about healing…

I know this is a controversial and sensitive subject for some. But settle the question now. Is it God’s will to heal or not? I believe it is God’s will to heal. Maybe you agree, maybe not. Whatever the case, I would like to show you what I have found within the Bible.

Also, keep in mind that every case is different (how soon and how long it takes). Some healings are immediate, others take time. But I believe God desires to heal. Period.

Each passage can renew your mind according to the mind of God. Because the faith that takes a hold of God’s promises is the result of knowing and acting on God's Word (Rom. 10:17).

In the classic book Christ the Healer, F.F. Bosworth explains:

“Jesus said, "The Word is the seed." It is the seed of the divine life. Until the person seeking healing is sure from God's Word that it is God's will to heal him, he is trying to reap a harvest where there is no seed planted. It would be impossible for a farmer to have faith for a harvest before he was sure the seed had been planted. It is not God's will that there shall be a harvest without the planting of the seed—without His will being known and acted on. Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Freedom from sickness comes from knowing the truth. God does nothing without His Word. "He sent His Word and it healed them" are the words of the Holy Spirit. "All His work is done in faithfulness" to His promises.

For each sick person to know that it is God's will to heal him, it is necessary for the "seed" to be planted in his mind and heart. It is not planted until it is known and received and trusted. No sinner can become a Christian before he knows that it is God's will to save him. It is the Word of God, planted and watered and steadfastly trusted, which heals both soul and body. The "seed" must remain planted and be kept watered before it can produce its harvest.”

That’s why I wrote this book: to plant the seed of healing within your mind. Every time you read you can water that seed and believe that God wants to heal you. He wants to heal your family and friends. And He wants to use you to heal others...

How to Experience God

You will enjoy reading How to Experience God:  Understand the Longings of Your Soul, Discover How God Feels for You and Enjoy Intimacy with Jesus – the first book in The Transcendent Majesty Series.

It’s not a Prayer Book like this one. Inside How to Experience God you’ll get a better taste of my writing and discover how to go deeper in God.

HERE IS AN EXCERPT OF THE BOOK:

Deep within your heart you live and yearn for experience—all of us crave for it—it’s not really things, status and success we desire, it’s the experience those things provide we are after (and how they make us feel inside).

It’s no secret that you and I desire to be known and to be loved—that we yearn for romance, adventure, thrills and fascination—and that we seek lasting friendships, approval from people, financial security and success… but why?

Why you and I want those things?

You desire those things because they feel great—every longing of your soul anticipates a specific experience. In fact, “experience” is the concealed driving force behind every human pursuit.

Unfortunately, the same passionate longings we have are the root for our addictions (good and evil).

Think about your favorite form of entertainment and ask: Why is it so attractive and appealing? What's the emotional payment of the exchange? And why at times I find myself over doing it?

The reason we get drunk with entertainment is rather simple: we have a profound need for mental engagement. You need to engage and be engaged; you hunger for new discoveries and fresh encounters (it is how we are wired).

The problem is, that every form of entertainment ever invented becomes old. No matter how exciting, ingenious, amusing and thrilling—we’re always left wanting, always longing for more...

Something similar happens with sin (which feasts on our misguided longings).

Have you ever wondered why the “prohibited” seems so attractive and appealing? What lies do we choose to believe when we abandon reason and agree to sin?

Truth is… there have been occasions where you and I have crossed boundaries and tasted the forbidden (be it in thought or act). We have followed deception and irrationally searched to quench our thirst.

But every time however, the temporal pleasure of sin vanishes and our emptiness grows. There is no exit. No lasting satisfaction. Only a painful trail of consequences and that “revived” aroma of death.

I will not lie to you… I have lived long enough to know that everything within the created order comes short. Be it virtuous or evil, nothing created can cure my inner thirst—my craving for experience never goes away—even good and exiting things become old, they fade away and lose their charm.

On every count, I always keep silently longing for more… I found my soul forever thirsty.

PRAISE FOR “HOW TO EXPERIENCE GOD”

This Book Will Truly Change Your Life!

“What would happen if you start to develop an intimate friendship with the Holy Spirit?” asks the author. If you desire to know more of the Holy Spirit and about your relationship with Jesus this is it. Perez takes into an even deeper awakening into the depths of the living water that Jesus spoke of where we will no longer thirst if we draw nearer to God. And isn’t that as Christians we all desire?

Perez has written what may truly be the most outstanding essay on this subject. Not only does he challenge your mind and soul but he will leave you totally wrecked as you contemplate your own desires and your relationship with the one true desire – Jesus. Perez is openly bold and honest in this outstanding teaching that doesn’t come off like a stale sermon but draws the reader in wanting to know more. Though the book is compact so much information, scripture and teaching is contained within the reader will need to read numerous times with Bible in hand to grasp it all. Easy to read and understand”– Cheryl
