FEAR

Fear becomes a stronghold in our lives because it is rooted in our desire to protect ourselves from some potential judgment, punishment, pain, or suffering.

Fear will cause us to hide. It will cause us to deny the truth. It will cause us to flee the very presence of God.

Fear will rob us of our destiny, and it must not be tolerated in any way. It must be destroyed.

Fear blinds us from the truth. It drives us in a direction completely opposite from where God is. We must recognize fear for what it is—a sin that God has clearly commanded us to resist.
Fear operates by getting people to put their attention on themselves. It causes a person to focus on self-preservation and to reject anything that threatens his or her self-interest.


Second Timothy 1:7 says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”


Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. —JOSHUA 1:9


God has not given us a spirit of fear, nor does He want us to operate under any influence of fear.
Lets examine ourselves ! What part of our lives that we hace operating out of the spirit of FEAR!

No person could save another.
--Joyce Carol Oates

We encounter the experiences we need in our lives. It's sometimes hard to believe that when we're grappling with disappointment, anger, or loss. Yet everything that comes our way is material for our growth.

Many of us entertain a fantasy that some person can complete us. We don't believe that we're complete in ourselves. Only when we do will we b...

ecome able to share in a life-enhancing partnership with another person. Only when we love ourselves can we love others realistically, instead of seeing them as fantasy figures, projections of our own desire.

No one can hurt us emotionally unless we allow the hurt. We're full partners in everything that we do, and taking responsibility for our actions and our desires is our first step toward being fully lovable.

The only one who can save me is me.
