To Have No Fear This Year

many of us have a set of fears that we are trying to suppress we are being held hostage by them and our testimony can't progress It's not a matter that concerns one's age, status or even one's race It's about running around in a forest of fears stuck in the same scared place fear of life, fear of death, the fear of just being we must learn to challenge ourselves and let go of the imaginary feelings we tend to project our fears and they manifest in many ways like stress, violence, substance abuse or depression from day to day like when a bully in the school playground is running about he's just fearful of his own weaknesses being found out fear of embarrassment, the utter fear of shame unsure and insecure we need someone else to blame that which we do destructively is in part generated by our fears that which we do dysfunctionally is part of the reason why we are scared In order to start down the road towards achieving your life's desires It's time to let go of your fears for that is what God requires fear is the beast that prowls around in our lives and feeds on our perceived inadequacies fear is the chains and shackles in our minds that bind us in captivity our most natural response to fear is to run and take flight but you can't run from what's inside of you, It's time to stand and fight God gave us power and grace, God gave us sound minds He gave us gifts and talents and a blessed loved known as God's Kind but we are always anticipating and waiting for the other shoe to drop have no fear and with faith in God all this nonsense will stop the only thing you have to fear is the idea of fear itself for there is nothing to be fearful about If you stay focused on your spiritual health fear can distort your direction, paralyze your progress and halt your plans we need to face up to our fears and reduce them to grains of sand If you know fear, you know no future, you can't move forward in life let go of the imaginary strongholds and trust in the power of Jesus Christ no longer tied up, no longer tied down, my fears are now on the run overcoming my unfound fears with faith in God's only begotten Son facing up to my fears with Father God at my back stepping up to the plate giving my fears a good whack It's all right If I make an error, It's okay If I make a mistake for every time I challenge a fear, It will diminish in The Lord God's wake now I no longer live with fear a promise I made to myself this year
