… The Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.”
Deut 17If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country - a heavenly one … He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt … Heb 11 ⦿ “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.” But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved. Heb 10 ⦿ “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
Lk 9May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Gal 6 ⦿ Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
2 Cor 6… He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Faith over Fear: Rick Warren
Pastor Rick - 12 Minutes
On a regular basis various types of fear creep up behind me, take me by surprise, and then mug me. After a while I regain spiritual consciousness, and realise that I’m in a state of fear - if not all-out panic!
Over the years I have wised-up to this to some extent, and I have slightly reduced the effects of fear. Christians are protected by their ability to remember spiritual truths, and by the Holy Spirit coming alongside to encourage and embolden. Rick Warren tells us more in this video.
