Fear to Launch
“For the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7
This piece of scripture resonates with me in so many ways, and it should stir something in you too. It lights a fire on the inside if you can get a revelation. Take hold of it and truly believe that the Lord has equipped you with everything you need to step out. Fear is a spirit not given, but learned.
Why do we seem to have an abundance of fear, but have lack in the other three? Think about it for a minute….The reasons can be unique from person to person. We need to flip the script, we have to increase in the God given spirits in order to be all that the Lord has set forth for us. This can be applied to a plethora of areas in our lives, health, finances, relationships, etc. Do you have a desire to open a business, go for the promotion, write a book? For me personally, it’s starting my blog, my podcast (coming soon) and making myself vulnerable stepping out meeting people creating relationships. If anyone who knows me reading this, I’m the poster child of introverts. So this isn’t just something for click bait, I’m personally walking through this in this season. The time is now, it’s time to step into your assignment. The story already has been written, follow through regardless of the obstacles, because in faith we are already victorious.
If we use the tools in our arsenal, we will overcome the spirit of fear, and the power, love, and a sound mind will start to flow like a river within us. Fear leads to regret and death, but faith leads to overflow, breakthrough and abundance. That’s the life we are all called to, so step out! You got this!
