Be Fearless!

Can you think of a time when you felt fearful and yet you were able to move beyond your fears? How did you feel afterwards? Exhilarated or grateful?

Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I experienced fear when I went snuba diving in Hawaii. For those of you who are wondering what it is, it's a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving. You breathe through a regulator that is connected to an air supply that floats at the waters surface which can be shared between two people.

Unfortunately for me when the other person started swimming another direction it pulled on my tubing & mouth piece which meant I was taking in water. It totally freaked me out so I quickly swam to the surface so I could adjust everything. I will tell you I was hesitant to go back down after that, but decided I didn't want my fear to keep me from seeing the turtles as that was the whole reason I was there.

Sometimes being a courageous person simply means not allowing the devil to control our thoughts. It's so easy for us to give into our fears, but these fears can keep us from God's best. So the next time you feel fearful instantly thank God for helping you overcome them and tell yourself I am about to be blessed!

Psalm 27:3 Thought an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.

God is bigger than any fear you have & everything you want is on the other side of fear. Be fearless!

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Name some techniques you have used to overcome fear in your life.
