My former thing I remember the night the Lord relieved me of my fear It was one of the greatest nights of my life I was so happy A weight finally removed Not only did the Lord give me a new seed, but also helped me to plant and water this new seed; this seed of faith However, that night, the Lord taught me something else. The Lord helped me realize that although I now live in this new land with Him, the enemy will still whisper words of fear and doubt; trying to lure me back to my old land; my land of fear. But the Lord told me exactly what to do in those times Anytime the enemy whispers words of fear and doubt, I can just look to the Lord and say, “I have faith in You” The enemy could say, “Well what about this?” “I have faith in God” “Well what about that?” “I have faith in God” The enemy could say whatever they wanted, and when they did, I could just look to the Lord, have faith in Him, and say, “I have faith in You Lord” Each time I would look to the Lord and have faith in Him, I was watering that seed a little more Faith was the new seed, and having faith was me watering that seed But, that water and my faith, was and is because of the Lord; and only because of Him It is because of the Lord that I have faith in Him It is because of the Lord that I have watered that seed Like I said, not only did the Lord give me a new seed, but also helped me to plant and water this new seed; this seed of faith And just as the Lord revealed unto me my old seed; fear; relieved me of it, and gave me a new seed; Faith; the Lord was going to do the same with all the things that sprang from my old seed; all of my specific fears; those things of old; and give me something new Over the next few weeks the Lord was going to bring me through several events, and in each event, the Lord was going to show me a specific fear I had, teach me the truth of it, relieve me of it, and give me something new; a new fruit; a new action; a new act of faith in the Lord

Fear filled my heart, consumed, and killed all that I loved in life As a child, I loved math and science. I loved them so much that in high school, I pursued higher maths and sciences, but, as I pursued and continued to grow in them, eventually, I started becoming fearful that I wouldnt be able to maintain the level that I was at. I was fearful that I wouldnt be able to keep up. So I quit As a child, I loved playing piano. I loved playing so much that I kept pursuing to increase my skills, so much so that I was even able to play on stage in front of crowds. But eventually, I too became fearful that I wouldnt be able to maintain the level that I was at. I was fearful that I wouldnt be able to keep up So I quit In college, my first career choice was to become a lawyer, but after taking my first class, I became fearful that I wouldnt be able to keep up. So I quit I changed course to politics, pursuant in becoming a politician, but after taking my first class, I became fearful I wouldnt be able to keep up. So I quit Math, science, piano, law, politics. These were all the things I loved, but there was one I loved more than anything else -- Basketball Second Segment - Basketball was my dream. From 3rd grade on, you couldn’t pull me from the court. At after-care I’d rush homework just to grab a ball from the game closet. I played for hours every day—late nights in the backyard, quiet dribbling, trashcans as defenders. In high school I chased Varsity. Tryouts were intense, but I loved the challenge. I barely made the team—slot #13—but I played all four years and grew more each season. Eventually I dreamed of going pro. At Penn State Mont Alto, I trained 6–8 hours a day, including preseason with the team. I loved it—but then fear touched it. Just 0.1%. A tiny nervousness that I might not keep up. A leak left unchecked.

I planted and watered a seed And because I continued to water that seed, from that seed came roots And because I continued to water that seed, from those roots came a base And because I continued to water that seed, from that base came a stem And because I continued to water that seed, from that stem came branches And because I continued to water that seed, from those branches came fruits; fruits that I ate; fruits whose seed was within itself My branches indeed produced fruits -- Rotten fruits Fruits that I ate And because my fruit was rotten, they had no nutritional value and did not sustain me And because they did not sustain me, I continued to eat more of those fruits; rotten fruits And because those rotten fruits continued to not sustain me, I continued to eat more rotten fruit And those rotten fruits continued to not sustain me; and I continued to eat more rotten fruits And those fruits indeed had their seed within themselves. Rotten seed. Rotten seed that would end up producing more rotten fruits You might ask, what seed did I plant that produced all of this rotten fruit? Let me tell you the story of my life; the story of my old tree https://youtu.be/zNBWt_S8Il8?si=O3GV7vtguHI_JQDe
