    Fear and Stupid Decisions

    About this ebook

    Fear is deceptive and causes us to make unwise decisions; decisions we justify as being right, but in reality are fear based and aren’t of the Lord at all. This series will help you discern when decisions are based in fear or are made from peace and wisdom and help explain why some of those past failures happened.

    John C. Fenn

    John and Barbara Fenn were born in Kokomo, Indiana and grew up just a few miles from each other. They attended the same kindergarten, went to many of the same neighborhood birthday parties growing up, and had mutual friends. Barb even attended John's confirmation in the Episcopal Church when they were twelve years old. They began dating as teenagers and were born again together and baptized with the Holy Spirit at age sixteen. Each attended Indiana University after graduating high school and were then married in 1978. In early 2002 John and Barb founded the Church Without Walls International of Tulsa (CWOWI), a house church network, emphasizing relationship-based Christianity. The seeds of CWOWI were planted in 1992 during a time of prayer. The Lord Jesus appeared to John in a visitation and shared some of what He would be doing in the future. Part of the Lord's plan was an exodus from many of the "para-church" organizations that were raised up after the Charismatic renewal of the 1960s and 70s. This would produce a movement of more "para-church" organizations, home prayer meetings, and also home-based churches. On November 4, 2001, during an evening church meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, Jesus appeared again to John. As both John and the host pastor fell to their knees, Jesus laid hands on John and told him to start a home church network "based on my Word and the things you've learned through the people I've brought across your path this year." The Lord said He wanted it to be called The Church Without Walls International. The next month, CWOWI began meeting in the Fenn home, and is growing and gaining affiliate house churches as relationships develop. Known for teaching with anointing and by revelation and flowing with the gifts of the spirit, his heart's desire is to make known the ways of the Father God. Church Without Walls International (CWOWI) is dedicated to making disciples of Jesus Christ through the establishment of a network of related house churches around the world.

      Fear and Stupid Decisions (Work)

      Part 1

      Hi all,

      Today I’m going to show how people moved by fear make unwise or stupid decisions even if they don’t realize they are being moved by fear, thinking at the time they are doing something right in the Lord.

      Jesus said wisdom is known/justified by her children which means a wise decision often isn’t seen as wise at the time, but will be confirmed to have been wise by the ramifications and results (children) of the decision (Matthew 11:19, Luke 7:35).

      An idiot of myself?

      It was the first time I had ever taken apart a toilet. Chris thought a toy should go for a swim, but it had become lodged on the way down, beyond reach. I remember Jason’s cry from upstairs like it was yesterday: "Mom! Dad! Chris flushed my Lego man down the toilet and now there’s
