Insecurity and Inferiority

Give world examples: Iran – need for nukes; North Korea – need for nukes; Hugo Chavez; Fidel
Castro; recent recession – insecurity; G20; UN, NATO, all from insecurity and inferiority.

This insecurity and inferiority will pave the way for the one world system.

created us to be?)

Satan’s greatest hits: Common insecurities and inferiorities: Because we live in the world and
are bombarded by them

was very plain looking while He walked the earth

f. GO SLOW: Romans 5:12, 15-21
g. James 2:1-4, 8-10 - For those who received good looks from the Lord; don’t be like
the world; don’t play into Satan’s game

Psalm 112 –

Those who fear the Lord, delight in His commands, are gracious, compassionate, righteous,
generous, practice justice, and trust in the Lord will:

Be blessed, have mighty children, receive wealth, riches, and goodness, walk in light, never be
shaken, be remembered forever, fear nothing going on around them, remain steadfast, be
secure, look in triumph on his foes, and be lifted high in honor. (Isaiah 26:3)
