S Issue #12 Febiuaiy 18, 2u14 8I" K/"*?0+1 </"" L"/0"$ E*/. JA K/"*?0+1 </"" </'F E"'96" Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10 NIV 1 People pleasers. They come in all different forms. Some are worried about what people think of them. Some are constantly killing themselves over the fact that someone does not "seem" to like them. Some wonder constantly, "What will it 'look' like?" Some need everybody, everyday to affirm, validate, or approve of them. Some will compromise what they know to be right in order to fit in. I know that this post is not for everyone because there are people out there that don't care what people think of them and that is great! But, I am here to encourage those that do and to help them break free. I've never been one to compromise, but I have been the one who worked so hard to be nice to EVERYONE because I wanted EVERYONE to like me. even if it meant my feelings getting hurt in the process. But the older I get, the more I realize that no matter how nice I am, some folks just won't like me! And that's fine. Does it change the fact that I'm saved? Nope. Does it mean that I'm not nice? Nope. Does it mean that I'm not a good person? Nope. Here's a GREAT question: does life stop because someone doesn't like me? I have three words for you: life goes on! Here's another GREAT question: Does their opinion change God's mind about me? Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the Lord, I change NOT." And last, but certainly not least: Does it mean that I have to not like them because they don't like me? 2 Absolutely NOT! Truth is: the people that hate me the most are the people that God places on my heart the most to pray for and show love to them. Not to get them to like me, but to be obedient to God. "Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples" (John 13:35 NLT). "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord" (Leviticus 19:18). "This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you" (John 15:12 NLT). Is it easy all the time? Nope. Is it worth it? Yes, because although I can't change people.....I CAN BE FREE! Welcome to Part 1 of the Breaking Free Series. Today, we're breaking free from people (their approval, acceptance, what they think, etc.,). Why do we need to break free from people? Because one of the greatest prisons that you can live in is the fear of what other people think.

4 Issue #12 Febiuaiy 18, 2u14 One question: Did you know that you had the last say? After hearing a message taught by Pastor Mark Hankins I began a more in depth study on one of my favorite men in the Bible....David and found a similarity between his life and Christ's life. As we all know David faced Goliath in 1 Samuel 17:42-51 and Jesus was tempted by Satan in Matthew 4:3-11. In life, we all will face giants and be tempted by Satan; speaking the Word of God releases God's power to win in each conflict. One thing for sure is that it takes FAITH to go where God wants you to go, and it takes FAITH to stay where God wants you to stay. FAITH is not an accessory or an option; it is an absolute necessity.
Winning the war of words is necessary to win the fight of faith. As we all know David, a young boy who kept his fathers sheep and Goliath, a giant who had been a warrior from his youth, were going to go head to head in battle. We will see that the real battle was won before David actually killed Goliath. "A war of words had to be won before victory could be consummated."
"He looked David over and saw that he was no more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. He said to David, Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. Come here, he said, and Ill give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!" David said to the Philistine, You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and Ill strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lords, and he will give all of you into our hands. (1 Samuel 17: 42-47)
As Pastor Mark Hankins said, "Never run at your giant with your mouth shut!" Before David ran at Goliath a war of words went on. Goliath said.... David said....Goliath said....DAVID SAID. You know the end of this story....David prevailed and won the fight...but he first won the war of words....HE HAD THE LAST SAY!

"Never run at your giant with your mouth shut!" Pastor Mark Hankins
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." Mark 11:23
