Fear

II Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) - For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Fear is a spirit and it did not come from God. God has not given you the spirit of fear but of faith in Him and His ability.

The devil uses fear to keep many of you out of your Promised Land. He used it on the Israelites when they saw giants in the Promised Land that God gave them. Fear kept them from entering in.

Today his plan of attack has not changed. He is still using fear to intimidate many of you. God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. God has given you His power to overcome and annihilate fear.

The love that you have for God and others will flush fear out of your life. Many of you have a fear of failure. You must look at the fear of failure in a different light. A failure is not failure, but only an opportunity to learn. When you and I fail at a project, it is a great opportunity to learn what could have been done differently. This failure brings you closer to success because you are able to put that failed attempt, the thing that did not work, behind you.

In order for you to stop fearing failure, you must know that when you fail you are not a failure. You should not take it personally. You simply failed in your attempt at what you were trying to do, but you yourself are not a failure. You are only a failure when you refuse to try and to step out in faith.

Please ponder and meditate on this:

Do you know that it is impossible for you to fail because the Holy Spirit lives in you?
