FAITH the OPPOSITE of FEAR | Pastor Stephen Baberadt Jr.

Pastor Stephen shares how pure faith cannot be diluted with fear, using the analogy of needing pure water for health rather than substitutes that produce opposite results. Drawing from Heidi and Isaiah’s vacation experience and everyday challenges, he contrasts fear’s “what if” mindset with faith’s “even if” confidence, showing how fear distracts us from God, opens the door to control, and attracts the very things we dread, as seen in Job’s own words. He teaches that our words either give authority to God or to the enemy, that faith and fear cannot occupy the same heart, and that we must feed the right one. Through practical steps of resisting fear, speaking the Word out loud, refusing fearful thoughts, and acting on faith, the message calls believers to declare freedom from anxiety and walk in the power, love, and sound mind God has already given. 📌 Key Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Welcome and introduction with Heidi and Isaiah’s vacation story 00:04:23 – Pure faith cannot be diluted with fear 00:05:19 – Power in believing and the centurion’s faith 00:07:25 – Fear is “what if”; faith is “even if” 00:14:39 – Job 3:25-26 and attracting what we focus on 00:17:12 – The positive and negative children story 00:21:12 – The two dogs of faith and fear 00:23:11 – God has given us power to speak into existence 00:28:00 – Mark 11:23-24 and the power of our words 00:42:37 – Four keys: Resist, Speak, Refuse, Act 00:48:29 – Corporate decree and declaration against fear 00:50:14 – Closing prayer and blessing 🙏 Scriptures: Job 3:25-26, Mark 11:23-24, Romans 10:17 and many more
