Fear

One of the biggest reasons people hold back from there dreams and goals is fear. Fear can paralyze. The word "paralyze" mean to destroy the power of action. We can conquer our fears by simply taking action. Action is the key. If we never act we will stay in a state of fear. Fear can even effect your health. Fear is a real thing. Yet it has no power but what we give to it. The bible says that "fear has torment, but perfect love casts out fear." Fear can make one frozen in failure, drowning in defeat, and dying for their destiny. If we are children of God then we should never let fear dictate our direction? But nonetheless there are more people that hold back on the thing they know in their heart they should be doing simply because of that one thing...FEAR. Our Lord calls us out of darkness, gives us a brand new heart, puts his spirit in us, washes us pure by his blood, and writes his word on our hearts. If then everything we need is supplied by God himself, like courage, ability, knowledge, and other gifts, why do we let fear stop us? Why do we allow the enemy to whisper in our ear his lies? Why does fear dominate the hearts of most people? They say that knowledge is power. Well, knowing something absolutely gives you an edge. Knowing that fear is only in your mind is part of the battle. When we recognize this we can move forward to conquer fear by acting. Acting on your goals, acting on your dreams that have been dormant, acting even when mistakes occur. Because if you want to succeed you will make mistakes. All great leaders faced adversity. Hardships make you stronger. Fear is the element of thought that whispers what could happed or what if. Fear is also from prior failure. It causes a person to be reluctant and shy away from pursuing what you know you were born do. So in the nut shell fear is the enemy of everyone that would attempt to step out of the average. Jesus has called us to walk in the supernatural and do the extraordinary. To walk in the supernatural you have to walk in faith, fear is a faith quincher. It drowns a person to the point of freezing right where they are. We have to overcome. Jesus said that if we had faith as a mustard seed we could speak to this mountain and say be removed and it would be done. But how many saints do you see applying the Word to their storm or mountain? Not that many. Because of fear. Fear is not greater than our Lord Jesus. Speak in the name of Jesus and walk not in the ordinary but do something extra. The extraordinary and you will overcome your fears.
