What do defeat, anxiety, self pity, desperation and surrender have in common?

They are habits!

And one of the biggest unbeknownst habits people carry with them through life is FEAR.

Carrying around this habit is the difference between living and average life versus life full of abundance, success and freedom.

I do have some good news though.

All of these negative limiting factors get be removed with one simple resolution: Believing in yourself!

Everything that you have ever wanted in life CAN be yours and everything you want IS out there. It is simply waiting for you to ask it to be yours.

Successful people ARE IN CONTROL of their money.

Successful people ARE IN CONTROL of their money and they don't lose who they are when when the money comes into their pockets.


Having this down to earth perspective keeps their heads on straight and keeps them in business.

So just how is this characteristic pulled off?

In one of two ways.

One, it's just in their personality.

Two, they were able to figure out how to live off practically nothing while starting their business and making their initial profit.

FEAR is why most people never go on to accomplish something great in their life.

FEAR is why most people never go on to accomplish something great in their life. So how you handle fear is going to determine your direction in life.
You can handle fear in 1 of 4 ways.
You can go over it...
You can go under it...
Or around it...
But if you are ever to put fear behind you then you must walk STRAIGHT THROUGH IT.
Once the fear is behind you, leave it there.
Get in the habit of walking straight through fear and start to use you fear as motivation.
Instead of thinking of the what you're actually fearful of, think about what will happen if you DON'T push your comfort zone. Usually the latter will be scarier than actually pushing through the barrier

View of the early Christian church

During different historical periods there were always church fathers who proclaimed the truth about the deity and self-existence of the Lord Jesus, as well as the fact that He is co-equal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. But there were also those who questioned and completely distorted biblical Christology. Through their views these deluded fathers deceived millions of other people. Examples will be given of true as well as false views about Jesus.
There is evidence indicating strong convictions that were entertained by the apostles and early church fathers on the eternal deity of the Lord Jesus. Kelly (1977:92-93) refers to the godly church father, Ignatius (35-107 AD), bishop of Antioch, who was later martyred for his faith, as a good source of theological thought of his time: “The centre of Ignatius’ thinking was Christ… (he) even declares that He is ‘our God’, describing Him as ‘God incarnate’… and ‘God made manifest as man’… in His pre-existent being ‘ingenerate’ (the technical term reserved to distinguish the increate God from creatures), He was the timeless, invisible, impalpable, impassable one Who for our sakes entered time and became visible, palpable and passable.” The thought of Ignatius was steeped in the Gospel of John with its strong emphasis on Christ’s unity with the Father: John 1:1-3 describes Christ as the Word that was with God since beginning, being also God Himself, and the One who has created all things that exist. John 10:30 says that Christ and His Father are one, and in John 14:9 Jesus explains to His disciples that he who has seen Him has seen the Father. In John 17:5 Jesus refers to the glory that He had with the Father before the world was.

The Incarnation of the Lord Jesus

In the fullness of time the Word, who created all things Himself, became flesh: “In the beginning was the Word… All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men… And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (Jn. 1:1-4,14). With the incarnation of the Word He temporarily surrendered His glory but not His essential deity.
In self-sacrificing love He condescended from His throne position in heaven to take upon Himself the likeness of men. He even came in the likeness of a servant who had no comeliness or beauty that we should desire Him (Is. 53:2).

The creative work, pre-eminence and superiority of Christ

We need to seriously and thoroughly reflect on the deity of Jesus Christ and on his pre-eminence over all things. That can be done by objectively and honestly studying the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit: “For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God” (1 Cor. 2:10 NKJV). Paul made a great revelation of Jesus Christ when he said: “He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born over all creation. For by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may have the pre-eminence. For it pleased the Father that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself – by him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of his cross” (Col. 1:15-20 NKJV). In this section, seven unique characteristics pertaining to the creative work, pre-eminence and supremacy of Christ are mentioned. He is:

We are living in times in which an increasing number of theologians are rejecting the doctrines on the Holy Trinity and, particularly, the deity and eternal self-existence of the Lord Jesus. This problem is not only the product of modern theological thinking but emanates from age-old Christological errors. We will have to go back very far in church history to determine the origins of these doctrinal deficiencies and wrong teachings.

The Trinity In the Old Testament there are two primary names used for God: Yahweh and Elohim. Each has a special significance. Elohim is the first name to be used, and is mentioned well over two thousand times. Though the name Yahweh (the eternal I AM) is paramount, there is a special significance about the name Elohim that God does not want us to miss. Dr. Richard Bennett (1998:45-46) explains the meaning of this name as follows:
