=== Power Over Fear (01:51) ===

[00:00:00]  In your book, you mentioned there's being power and persecution.
[00:00:04]  Right.
[00:00:05]  Yeah.
[00:00:06]  Why do you say that?
[00:00:07]  I don't like being persecuted.
[00:00:08]  Well, I don't either.
[00:00:10]  But there's power in it when we realize.
[00:00:12]  Thank God I need power, so we'll take it then.
[00:00:17]  Fear is the enemy's number one weapon.
[00:00:21]  Yes.
[00:00:23]  If he doesn't have fear, he's disabled.
[00:00:26]  For I don't give you fear, I give you what?
[00:00:29]  Power, love, and a sound mind.
[00:00:33]  You notice power is first.
[00:00:35]  Yes.
[00:00:36]  Power, God's power, love for who?
[00:00:39]  Love for God, love for people, which is what you guys do in Ukraine?
[00:00:43]  And a sound mind to have peace.
[00:00:46]  So going back to Rocky, the last scene in Rocky, he wasn't supposed to, how many people remember Rocky?
[00:00:56]  He wasn't supposed to win.
[00:00:58]  He was going to get obliterated.
[00:00:59]  That's right.
[00:00:59]  He stood up against this monster, and this monster was making a joke out of him.
[00:01:03]  And he even told his manager, he says, this guy doesn't understand the show.
[00:01:06]  He thinks he's going to win.
[00:01:08]  Here's what Rocky did.
[00:01:09]  He stood up and he said, bring it on.
[00:01:13]  Go for it.
[00:01:15]  And when Apollo Creed saw that, I could see it in his face.
[00:01:20]  He got disarmed.
[00:01:21]  He said, I've lost my weapon, fear.
[00:01:24]  So when we as God's people get rid of that fear and we stand up and we have the power of God in us because only we can have the power of God.
[00:01:34]  That's right.
[00:01:35]  Jesus transferred that power to us.
[00:01:37]  That's right.
[00:01:38]  You know, power was always used in scripture through men at various times, but it was the time when Christ was born that the power of God came into the world.
[00:01:48]  Jesus said, and he said, I'm transferring that to you.
