Chapter One

Are you Rebellious ?

The crops

Of Love

And

The crops Of Fear

Rebellion

Do not rebel against truth.
Rebels are not winners.
Winners are obedient to truth.
They love themselves and others.
They are encouraging
with their lives.
They are not
aggressive or arrogant.


Cover Ups

When you cover up evil, because you are afraid of it,
you are giving it food to build on.
Stand for truth and do not waver, or you will
pay the price with your own life.
Do not fight with the enemy, or you will get in
trouble, do not under- estimate the power of it.
Be wise and gentle


A Fix

Don't look for a fix; look for a cure.
In order to look for a cure,
you have to admit that you need healing.

Many books are written, about how to be happy, but
not too many show you the route to misery. It is hard to
look at the cause of misery, so they offer you a fix.
So you get addicted to an easy fix, which is only
temporary, and the misery continues and gets bigger.
Get rid of your idols,
and you will learn how to love.


Anger

Don't try to kill the weeds with your anger.
Your anger will blind you, and you will damage the wheat; and
you might not even notice that the weeds may already be dead.


Eph.4:26 be angry but sin not


Stop the fight

By fighting against prejudice,
you will become low class.
By fighting against ugliness,
you will become cheap.
By fighting against stupidity,
you will become ignorant.
By fighting against competition,
you will get lost.
By fighting against image,
you will lose your goal.
By stopping you will learn to take care of you.


Fighters and Losers

When you spend time fighting
against someone's weakness,
you will miss out on your talents; and
you will stop others from using theirs.


Be not afraid.


Competition

Competition comes from insecurity,
and produces jealousy and pride.
Jealousy is deceitful.
Pride is arrogant and pompous.
Pride will make you a loser.
Jealousy will make you stupid.
Shame will bring you addiction.
They make fun of each other, they war with one
another; they engage in a score game.
They can be stopped.
Replace jealousy with value and pride with honor.


Godly expectations are not deceptive demands.
Do not desire, obey.

If you find where your fears come from, you have the power
to cast them out. Did they come from your fearful parents,
your friends, your teachers, or the world around you?
