He says he needs to die to his reputation and stop taking on so many cares and worries. He uses this scripture to help him to stop worrying.

Inspiration: A Bible teacher said the important word to this scripture is believing. He said when you pray, you plant your seed like a farmer. The farmer always expects the seed to grow and talks about the harvest as he knows the harvest will come. This teacher said you have to pray this way believing in the harvest (the answer to your prayer) before you see it. So many want to believe after they see the answer but that requires no faith at all. Faith says “I believe my request is granted at the very moment I pray, since I am asking for something that I know is a promise of God found in the Holy Bible.”

Inspiration: During my teenage years, I would have one foot with Jesus and one foot with the people-pleasing crowd. I was afraid to leave the people pleasers because I was too concerned about what they thought of me rather than what God thought of me. When I committed my life to Jesus and asked for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, God gave me the courage to jump in with both feet into His camp and to trust Him with my life. I was no longer a people pleaser but a God pleaser.

Inspiration: In the 1980’s, when a well known evangelist sinned, Christian Television got a bad rap from the public. Christians themselves were quick to judge, criticize and point fingers at the sin instead of praying for the situation. A Bible teacher told us that immature Christians do not realize that when you harshly judge another for their sin, you are judged in the same manner. The mature Christians help restore those who have fallen.
