       When is the last time you saw an athlete win a competition, and when being interviewed afterward, the athlete said, “Oh, I didn’t believe I would win, but somehow, someway, I won.” You usually don’t hear an athlete say that. Of course the athlete believes he or she will win, that’s why they try. Their belief works in cooperation with their physical activity. Sometimes we flat out don’t believe it is possible to have victory. And what’s that called? That’s called unbelief. That’s a worser form of doubt in our minds. It’s completely giving up. Even fear of failure can prevent us from trying. If we’re too afraid, we won’t try. So, we must not be too afraid either. In order to overcome sin, in order to present ourselves to obedience, we have to rid ourselves of these wrong mindsets, these wrong thinking patterns, and replace them all with a good, sincere, working faith.
