During this time of year, people are busy Christmas shopping, decorating, attending holiday parties, and making a list of what they are not carrying into the New Year. Well, this year I challenge you to do something different. Instead of committing to work out, eat less junk food, and get more rest. How about committing to get rid of all the fear in your life? You’d be surprise at the number of people walking around with fear. Fear of being alone, fear of rejection, fear of failing, fear of heights, fear of trying something new and the list goes on. You see fear is a tactic the devil uses to make your life miserable and ultimately destroy you. It’s a manipulation to keep you out of the will of God. The devil’s plan hasn’t changed. He still comes to kill, steal, and destroy you. It starts with a thought and then develops into a full blown emotion. Well, God has not given you the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7). Through God, you have the power to break every fear in your life. God loves you. He doesn’t want you to live in fear. Fear paralyzes and stops you from walking into all the wonderful things He has for you. You’re special to God and He no longer wants to see you entangled in the bondage of fear. He sent His Son Jesus so you can be free. So take your freedom. FEAR is Forget Everything and Run or Face Everything and Rise. You choose. Are you going to run from your fears or face them head on with Jesus and demolish them? Confess: I am not afraid. I am full of faith, love, and power. I have a sound mind. Fear has been evicted. Fear doesn’t live here anymore. God wants me whole and I’m getting whole by the minute!
