Truth of Fear

So what is the one thing that cripples us? What is it that no matter how great we are, or how many gifts we have, we hide in a corner hoping for someone or something to helps us out of our hurts, pain, self doubt, worry. Fear is the name of the great crippler. It enfolds around us and holds us back from doing and being God's best. We must explore these thoughts of fear and call them out for what they really are. They are lies from the enemy trying desperately to damage us; keeping us from being affective warriors for God.

Pain and fear some how are always in the back of our minds. We try so hard to avoid them. We would do anything not to have this pain in our lives. Sometimes we try to avoid it so much that we end up drawing more attention to it. Giving pain and fear a window gives it an opportunity to thrive in our hearts and minds. Can we avoid it all together…yes. We can be free from fear! We can have victory. Of course the enemy will always try to use it against us. But once we can identify it for what it is, it we can begin to have victory. You will need the help of God; you can’t do it alone, no matter how much will-power you have. Will-power can only bring you to the point of wanting freedom. But once you bring God on board He can repair the way you think, and how your spirit feels. Then He can begin to recondition you for hope, love and healing. And not only hope, love and healing, but He can then use you to touch others and impact the kingdom of God in ways you never knew possible. - Rece Davies
