Please take some time to read these verses before we start…

You have a choice. You can walk away from the situation protected from any harm. All you have to say is that you don’t believe. There is a gun pointed at your head. The cold metal on your forehead. Do you take the bullet? This is a situation that many Christians face daily, and they take the correct choice and die for God, as Jesus died for our sins. It is such a difficult question to answer, do we truly trust Jesus? Arnold explains that fear and anxiety often seem to get to us. We believe in God and Jesus, but we fail to back up this believe with faith and trust that They have got this. Fear and anxiety do this to you. Prayer is important! It builds a relationship with God so you can build trust with Him and Jesus. “Lord, help us. Come into this world. We need thee, thy flesh, thy Spirit, thy death and life, and thy message for the whole creation.” (Page 69, Arnold) We can always look to when Peter disowns Jesus three times. He believed in Jesus and God, but these two things got to Peter. We need to pray to God for us to have complete trust in Him, to the point of dying do Him. Like Arnold says, “It is very simple: if you don’t understand something, trust Jesus. Do not worry about problems, or keep bringing them up. Trust God and Jesus! Like Arnold says, “Like sunshine over a valley, God’s great love spreads out over the whole earth.”
