Don't be Scared!

Have you ever felt God was speaking to you through the volume of a topic with which you were being doused? Well, I believe God is speaking to me about not being afraid through the dousing of songs and His Word!

As I did a self-reflection, there were certainly some fear issues. Much of it was just a hesitancy to do something because of possible consequences. I had to confront that fear equals lack of faith in God! 

God, help me. I know I am a worry wart, but I want to be a warrior by allowing your Spirit to live through me.

Here is the message from God.
1. I fell in love with the song, Fear is a Liar by Zach Williams. It really confronted my, while encouraging, and comforting me. Lately, I have been trying to hit fear head on. Knowing it is a LIAR!
2. I have been listing to Fearless by Jasmine Murray for about a year. However, it has come back alive for me. Isn't that our goal to be fearless? As with all tough things, we must ask God to help us.
3. I just finished reading Daniel this morning. In the latter part of the book, Daniel saw visions. These visions frightened him. But, I heard these encouraging words:
Daneil 10:9-12 (NLT); Then I heard the voice of the man speak, and when I heard the sound of his voice, I fainted and lay there with my face to the ground. Just then a hand touched me and lifted me, still trembling to my hands and knees. And the man said to me, "Daniel, you are very precious to God, so listen carefully to what I have to say to you. Stand up, for I have been sent to you." When he said this to me, I stood up, still trembling. Then he said, "Don't be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer."

WOW! What encouraging words! I claim them for my life! We do not always see the answer to our prayer or it may be delayed. However, this does NOT mean it is not heard in heaven!

4. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT); For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

5. Since the spirit of fear is evil, I like to lean on James 4:7 (NLT); So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

In conclusion, I know I am a work in progress, but I want to seek God for the victory! In this case the victory over fear in my life.

Thank you God for pointing out this sin in my life. Now, I ask you to help me in this battle. If you need to....battle for me! In Jesus name. Amen
