fear is trully a lie. if you will try to find the lie that is behind that fear, you'll find it for sure.God bless you Mike.thanks for everything
It is true, fear is often based on exaggerated view of situation and you have to change your mind to get over it.
in my opinion its a daily task that you work through each day in prayer. I personally was at a point in my life when anxiety was tearing me apart. I have worked at it each day . i continue to work on it with prayer, reading God's word, and surrounding myself with him all day long. this verse in scripture always helps me out . Lamentations 3:22-23 "The faithful love our the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning."
I did catch that phrase.. Several weeks ago when i heard the song on the radio and ended up on my knees thanking God for that little message that makes a huge impact 3 thanks to Yenth Avenue North for being more than just musicians
Mike, you should be a pastor. I get chills just watching you videos.
This deserves more views
I constantly believe the lie that I'm not interesting enough, or the lie that I'm going no where in my life, or - here's my biggest one - the lie that says I'm not loved by the family I'm living with. I live in fear of being the "wrong" kind of person, so much that it seems like I have no personality. So when it's time for me to be the fun, motivated young adult that my parents see in me, I crawl back into my shell when I'm around my grandparents, because of those lies.
I just saw this vid for the first time, just when I was starting to think that when I pray, God can't answer back.
Thanks be to God, and thank you, Mike Donehey. God bless you.
Fear is just a lie. That's sooo true! God bless you Mike, thank you for sharing!
This is very true...every time i am afraid in my spiritual life it comes from believing the bad things that make me feel unworthy of God. However, when God opened my eyes and I saw what His truth is, my fears left.
Exactly. God doesn;t want us to fear like love him out of obligation because we fear of this hell crap but fear him in a way that we just love him because he love us unconditionally. Fear really shouldn't been used in the bible but unconditionally just love Him the same way he love us. Love has no fear.
This vid was a real blessing to be reminded of (all lies come from the devil and all truth comes from God...). Thanks, Mike. I pray you'll stay marinated in Jesus. God bless you!
hate is the opposite of love, but you are correct in saying that God is Love
The bible says "Do not be afraid" 366 times, representing everyday of the year, INCLUDING leap year. I love our God. What He can do is infinite, even in our daily lives.
fear is the opposite of love, and God is love
My brother is a worship leader at are church and he was scared last night about making sure all the FCA kids would get up and dance and respect GOD but he was also afraid that they would think he is "weird" to anyway I showed he this and thanks be to GOD for you guys really you guys are awesome
2Timmothy 1:7 " for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."
Thankyou sooooo much!!!!!!!! Boy, did I need that!!!!!!! STOP LISTENING TO LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! LISTEN TO THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus says "Iam the way, the truth, and the life!!!!!!" Right?! And it also says in the bible that the truth (JESUS) will set you Free!
Thankyou God for opening my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This makes me think of a teaching I heard about Godly confidence and the words of a friend. not confidence in our ability but in Gods'. His plan, promises, sovereign...that no matter what we face, we have nothing to fear!
You speak so much truth, man! You really need to do a podcast. You're very easy to listen to and extremely genuine in how you say things.
I always loved that part of the song(: it was real encouragement because alot of the time in highschools and what not today you can be intimidated and scared enough to back down from your Christian witness, but what have we to fear? This world is only for a little while(:
This was great and very wise advice. If you have fear, identify what is causing the fear in order to find the lie, and educate your self the truth through God in order to remove the fear. Loves it! Thanks Mike for sharing :) God Bless.
Difficult to say.
Difficult to believe.
But true.
Needs to be on a tshirt! Thank you for the inspiration :)
Those words literally changed my life, my way of thinking. So good.
I LOVE THAT STATEMENT.
That phrase should be on a bumper sticker.
I give this comment an A++++++++
It's absolutely incredible and ridiculous how much this has helped me
this man is seriously probably my favorite man like wow
This reminds me of what Pastor Joseph Prince from Singapore always says: Right BELIEVING leads to right living. When we believe right, then we will LIVE right. You are so right, Mike. Whoa.... Every fear can literally be traced back to a lie - a lie that we believed. My dear friend once told me, "make no agreement with the enemy" It's something I hold close to my heart. So good! So So Good! So glad I recently discovered your video journals. #Life changing!
I really wish you done a podcast or a daily video. I love how easy it is to accept the things you say. These videos of you telling us about these different things have inspired me so much!:)
Amen. How true!
I have listened to every word of every song tenth avenue north has and memorized it the first or second time I heard it.that is one of the phrases that stuck out to me the first time I heard the song cause I never thought of it that way before but it is the truth fear is just a lie and I am thankful to tenth avenue north for bringing so many amazing points to my attention! Thnx guys luv u guys an ur music!:)
this is very beautifully said, yay God!
This is the reason why I love 10th avenue songs so much! Besides the awesome music, itself, its got amazing lyrics that can also be looked deeper into.
I also think its awesome that you guys do vid journals - because some songs do require help with interpretation. And its just cool to know how you came up with the song.
But I also love your songs, because for me, they require no interpretation. They go straight to my heart.
Love you guys!
You guys are the best. I always look forward to your vid journals! Thanks for helping me with my Christian walk with God!
Mike, that "little phrase with a few syllables" is actually the biggest thing that has stood out to me in that song because I have struggled with fear and anxiety in the recent past. That phrase and also "by your side" was a song that actually got me thru a lot of anxious nights (in the dead of night, whenever you call").
In tears right now... This is exactly what I've needed for a long long time. Thank you so much ❤️
For a singer, this guy is a great teacher. He has the ability to draw those who listen to him with humor, but it still hits you to the core with Truth and Humility.
God Bless!
"The gift of the fear of the Lord is a virtue of hope. We often think of hope and fear as mutually exclusive, but the fear of the Lord is the desire not to offend Him, and the certainty that He will give us the grace necessary to keep from doing so. It is that certainty that gives us hope.The fear of the Lord is like the respect we have for our parents. We do not wish to offend them, but we also do not live in fear of them, in the sense of being frightened."
That line has always spoken to me! I remind myself just that everyday! Anytime I felt afraid or unsure of myself that line always kept me going! I can't thank you guys enough! God Bless!
I've gained a lot of respect for this guy from watching these videos
and 5 dislikes? really people?
I now know what I should read for Christmas: Brothers Kar-ma-zov.
Thank you Mike.
Wow! You don't know how that can unravel so much more! It is something that I can think on for a very long time! Amazing Stuff!
I'm struggling with knowing the truth and so I'm like, "lets just watch some video journal" and this is the first that caught my eye. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.
That's an excellent book, very deep.
Thank you I needed this reminder today.
Thanks so much! That helped me a lot today! All your vidoes are so inspiring, Mike!
God bless you and please make more like these!
Hooray! Another straight guy like me who happens to like The Brothers Karamazov! Good message Mr. Donehey. :)
ohhhhhhhh ok thank you cuz I still get that fear of what if my parents or other people find out.
Good Word! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this message! Excellent!
I really love these Video Journals, they are touching and mean a lot. please keep doing them! :)
Wow! Thank you for this today, I so needed it.
Wow this is exactly what I've been needing and at the right moment.
Me too!
Me as well....
Ask God how He sees you. Your identity is not "addict." It is found in Christ. Ask for the root of the addiction to be revealed to you and healed. I'll be praying for you! (:
Very very well said.
God is screaming at me!! This is the fifth reference to The Brothers Karamazov. It is an incredibly large book so it will have to be a summer read. Thanks.
love all of these!
Every one has an opinion ya know. I'm glad the Lord gives everyone the option to have their own opinions. Comments or questions/ Dislikes open a door to dialog which is always good if handled with love....:-) I just got turned on to this guys snippets of teachings and all I've seen are very solid Biblical teachings. Their music is "Off the chain"!
I've always loved that line in the song. Also, I really appreciate this video. I've been going through some really tough stuff and this is very encouraging.
Timely & Powerful Subject!! GOD Bless!!
Amen
I love Mike's tiny accent
Deus não precisa nos dizer todos os dias para que acreditemos. Apenas um "não temas" é o suficiente para a vida toda. :)
I love this! Thanks, Mike! 3
Mike you have inspired me! The Brothers Karamazov is officially on hold at the library in my name! I can't wait to read it (:
Profound - yes! I've been a Christian nearly my whole life. I never thought of myself as a fearful person. Yet, lately God's been showing me that many of the patterns in my life that I could never quite put my finger on are a result of fear. This!!! If I can grab a hold of this truth and act on it. Whoa! This could literally transform my life RADICALLY. Please agree with me in prayer that I will have the courage to latch on to this truth and not let go. Make no agreement with the enemy. Wow
My youth pastor was doing a thing on fear and told us that. And yeah, pretty awesome:)
makes you really think hard... love it:)
Please make more of these!
Keep the video journals comming!!
amen
^____^..
More...for His glory!
Profound! Thank you:) I needed this.
Dude. This song came on Klove today and, don't get me wrong, I love the song, but it kinda hit me today. I've been extremely stressed and it was lightly raining and when I heard "Lift up your head, let the rain fall on your face," I connected to the song so much more.
I also would hear the line "Fear is just a lie" and tried to interpret it but I love hearing it from you so much more as to exactly what it's supposed to mean. Thanks so much, Mike.
"Do not be afraid."
Oh man I repent of every lie the devil has told me and I believed him. I used to judge guys who sing that type of music. Now I know not to judge people. I think you should be a preacher man. I enjoy your short messages the make me look very small.
i was waiting indeed...glad you guys made a new one:-))) U guys are such a blessing to many people around the world...:-)
oh yeah! thx bro!
This is so amazing. Makes me think a lot. These journals are great. =]
Great stuff!
its the same kind of love as child loving his parent knowing he/she feels secure around them. A god that's gonna torture people for one transgression is not a LOVING parent but an abusive one.
Good stuff Mike.
loving it. The bible tells us to hate sin. When we commit sin it hurts God because He knows it's not good for us that's why it's sin and He tells us not to do it in the first place. When we commit ourselves to God we offer our lives as living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship (Rom 12:1). If someone truely loves God they want to please Him and be like him.
This is awesome! Looking forward to more journals and vlogs :D
So true, fear is based on lies.....from the father of lies, the accuser of the brethren, who tries to make the believer think that God is angry at us.....when God is the author of the truth....the truth that sets us free...that God will never be angry with us ever ...because Jesus took away our sins once and for all and has made us righteous, holy, accepted, perfect and blameless by his obedience....and not our works or performance
+CaSeSeNsItIv3 Jesus was preaching to those under Law who had to fear God. We are not under the Law Romans 8 "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” WE are not under Law that you fear God and hell......we are sons and Fathers dont send their kids to hell.
+CaSeSeNsItIv3 You don't understand. We don't have to be aware of "falling into hand of God". That verse you quote is from Hebrews 10 which was written to Jews going back to the Law before their Temple was destroyed. There is no fear in love, and He loves us not for us to fear Him. If you think you need to fear God about going to hell, let me be bluntly honest with you - I used to be like this for many years until I understood the Gospel of GRACE - Christ has done everything for us. You need to correctly divide between LAW and GRACE. Your mindset is of LAW and fear, not GRACE. Until you fully realize what Christ has DONE for you, you will always be in fear of God - fearing hell. As long as you think you have to "do" something, then fear will be there. By Christ's obedience we have been made Righteous forever apart from our sins and apart from our works. Christ lives in us by GRACE.
+CaSeSeNsItIv3 Thanks and God bless you too, may He open your eyes to His grace and not on your performance - setting your eyes on Jesus in you - our life, our righteousness, our holiness, and take away the focus on the flesh which is dead anyway. "You are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit".
Nice video journal Mike you always seem to bring up some interesting points
@krbzi when it says fear God, it means to fear Him in a way of respect or reverence in a way you would fear your parents if you broke their rules because you know their is punishment or shame to come. Also remember the bible was not originally written in English so its near impossible to have a perfect translation. I hope this helps!
Loving these videos, Mike and TAN! Thanks so much! Also, I love that you say "MO"...I think I'll have to start usin that haha!
nice one mike. :) thanks!
This is good..
I ask myself two questions: 1. What fear is stopping me today? 2. What lie is giving that fear so much power over me? If I answer these questions honestly, the fear has to leave.
I really needed this, today =]
Dostoevsky is a beast. I love Crime and Punishment--it's underlying message is that anyone can be redeemed, regardless of what they've done.
@PaulTiVi thank you! Sounds like a great book!
Well I am afraid of my class because I think they all hate me for being the boringst girl ever. So I don't say anything during lessons and that's why my grades are really bad. And even if I should talk to older persons or being alone with one unknown person I sometimes get in panic. But now if I think about it is really just a lie. It sounds at all just ridiculous. Thank you so much.
Hi Lara...I'm 30yrs old and I used to be like you are now. That lie that you really have nothing to offer? That you're boring? I pray that God gives you wisdom & strength to beat this becoz the reason that lie is being told to you is becoz satan knows you have SO much to offer in life. It took me many years to see through the fog and lies and I look back and wish I had known. Be who you are and don't let the lies and the resulting fear of what people think of you hold you back from anything!
(contd. #3) sit here and try to tell people who to love. "America the brave, still fears what we don't know." Such a good verse...if you sit and truly reflect on the effects homosexuals have on your life, or how difficult their life is because of their sexuality - you will see that their suffering is rooted in oppression given to them by people like you.
To fear God is also to (the closest synonym I can think of is) respect/obey God. It's really hard to explain, but it's kind of like a parent. As a kid if you do something wrong, it's like "oh no, what if my parents find out!" or "I know I'm getting in trouble for this". Having that "fear", or respect, for your parents/guardians generally causes us to do the right thing. Of course, God always knows what we do and there's no hiding, so it's more of a "you know God is watching so don't do it" deal.
I've been hurt a lot in my life and right now I'm having trouble with opening up to almost anyone. Basically, I'm struggling with the lie that I can't trust anyone because I'll be rejected or worse.
Because perfect love casts out fear! If I wholeheartedly believe that God loved me so much that He would willingly send His beloved Son to die for me just so that I could have fellowship with Him - if I meditate on that truth - what do I have to fear? The creator of the universe loves me! and cares for me! No Fear!!
This helped a lot. I'm glad i found this. :°D
I remember him tweeting about this. (:
