2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us the Spirit of FEAR; but of POWER,
LOVE & Sound MIND
Looking back on the 17 years of boot camp to the Maturity in Christ. I have found out, that one lesson in maturing in Christ is you have to kill FEAR.
I remember reading somewhere, that FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real.
It should be: Fighting Enemies, Armed Righteously; because you cannot grow in Christ unless you are FEARLESS.
It's not easy to become FEARLESS; but if you trust in God and let Him fight your battles you are bound to be transformed into a warrior like David.
You can only imagine little David, when he fought Goliath; he had to be a little fearful. But what did he say to Goliath before he started to fight him: (I Samuel 17:45,46) " Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comes to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou has defied. (46) This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fouls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the may know that there is a God in Israel.
That's FEARLESS. He did not look at his inexperience or size; he knew that he was not the one to win the battle with Goliath, but the Lord.
I had to learn that lesson over and over again, every time the Lord helped me overcome; one obstacle after another. I grew more and more fearless.
Remember: Once you take your eyes off your problems, and look at the promises of God in His word--You'll become Invincible.
Keep your eyes on Jesus, NOT the problem......I read the end of the book.
WE WIN!!!!!!
Stay victorious and prayed up!!!!!
Drop the FEAR at the door, and pickup INVINCIBLE
