Spirit of Fear

Recently God has highlighted fear in my life. Many times we react with fear and this is sin. We dress fear up and give it a different name. We call it wisdom or acting out of experience. When I did this last time I failed. When I did this a second time I failed. The third time never comes because you begin to expect failure. You don’t face that challenge because life has taught you that you won’t overcome. God has not given us a spirit of timidity or fear. Life has on numerous occasions stolen my confidence and faith. There are challenges that I have simply walked away from because I was paralyzed by fear. God has been challenging me to be obedient even when I am not comfortable. He wants me to act in faith not in knowledge or experience. I have been witnessing promises manifest in many different arenas in my life. These promises have happened because I faced my fear. I challenge you to take an inventory of your life. How has fear stifled your walk? What do you consider to be impossible or insurmountable? These are the very things that allow a supernatural God to prove His power! God doesn't want us to be comfortable. He wants us to challenge ourselves and live a life less ordinary.
