God’s desire is that we continually progress, that we reach
higher heights and go to new levels in Him. Oftentimes, as soon as we make the
decision to step out in faith and obey God the enemy brings in fear to try to
stop us. He’ll bring thoughts like, “What if you fail? What are other people
going to think? What will you do if this happens? How are you going to make
that happen?” He’ll do his best to use fear to try to convince us to shrink
back and stay where we are.
The bible says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear
and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” Fear is a spirit. It
plays on our emotions and holds us back. But the good news is that we have power
over the spirit of fear! The bible also says that perfect love casts out all
fear. When we receive God’s perfect love we will have confidence about the
future because we know His plans are for our good.
I’ve heard it said that fear is an acronym for False Evidence
Appearing Real. Understand that fear is a lie. Don’t buy the lie. Instead,
choose to believe God’s Word and receive His love so that you can overcome fear
and move forward into the blessings He has prepared for you!
