Fear!
Nelson Mandela: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
The enemy would have you to believe that because you are afraid, you have failed. His biggest concern is that you will decide to ignore your fear and forge ahead. So he tries to discourage you at the outset of fear.
Times like these, I begin to quote some scriptures that help be stay the course. Below are some scriptures I use.
We can be struck by fear on so many levels.
Fear of Failure
Fear of Success
Fear of the Unknown
Fear of the Known
Fear of Loss
Fear of Gain
Fear of Someone
Fear of Yourself
Fear for your Safety
Fear of your Peril
Fear of Death
Fear of Life
God did not design Mankind to be paralyzed by fear. It is the enemy that loves to emphasize your fear to cause you to stop, or loose your train of thought, or to stop you from doing what is right in the sight of God.
Use these scriptures to help yourself conquour fear.
James 4:5 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. KJV
Phillipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Psalms 92 (all 16 verses)
Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
There are many more scriptures... please share the one that helps you through.
Bless you!
