It Can't Come with ME, Pt. 1

Edward Jackson Jr·Friendship Baptist Church

Monday, December 8, 2025

Summary

In this message, Pastor Edward Jackson, Jr. teaches from 2 Timothy 1:6-7 on the necessity of cutting off fear before stepping into a new season. Believers are urged not to wait for a new year or future date to make life-changing spiritual adjustments, but to confront fear immediately. By surrounding ourselves with godly mentors, speaking biblical truth to fear, and leaning into God's provision of power, love, and self-control, we can boldly fulfill our God-given purpose.

3.You must embrace the tools God provided to overcome fear: power, love, and self-control.
4.True life change cannot wait for a new year or a special date; you must cut off harmful patterns and fear immediately.
5.Fear creeps in through discouragement, gossip, and unexpected challenges, causing your spiritual fire to go dim if you do not stoke it.

7.God endows every believer with divine power (dunamis) to accomplish every assignment He places in their hands.

Sermon Moments

“Since tomorrow isn't promised, why wait another 25 days to do the things you need to do to make your life better?”

“We have gotten so desensitized to prayer that we have forgotten how powerful of a gift it really is.”

“Stir up the gift. In other words, keep the fire fresh. That mean you got to preach when don't nobody say amen. That mean you got to serve when don't nobody tell you thank you.”

“God has not given us a spirit of fear. You are a spirit that God didn't place on me. So if God didn't place fear on you, where did it come from?”

“The enemy wants to keep you in fear because he wants to stop you from doing what God told you to do. And people want to keep you in fear because they want to keep you from doing what they scared to do.”

“Because the Bible says, 'Perfect love cast out all fear.' There's power in love.”

“The cord wasn't plugged up to the main source. And the reason why some of us can't move in discipline, it's not because you don't have it, it's because you ain't connected.”

This Week

Identify the fears or unhealthy habits holding you back and decide to stop carrying them starting today rather than waiting for next year.
Seek out or lean on a trusted spiritual mentor (a Paul or Paulette) who will intercede for you and hold you accountable.
Stir up your spiritual gifts daily by serving, loving, and obeying God even when you feel unappreciated or afraid.
Memorize and speak 2 Timothy 1:7 out loud whenever fearful or anxious thoughts attempt to enter your mind.
Evaluate your circle of influence and limit the voice of people who promote doubt, fear, or spiritual stagnation.
Step out in radical love toward God and others, trusting that His perfect love will displace fear in your life.
Maintain a daily connection to the Holy Spirit through prayer, Scripture reading, and worship to tap into God-given discipline.

Remember This

God has not given you a spirit of fear, so you must step boldly into your calling using the power, love, and self-control He has provided.

A Challenge for You

Look at your neighbor and say: 'Neighbor, whatever you do this week, don't be scared. I love you and ain't nothing you can do about it.'
