FEAR!!

Let’s be honest FEAR is always around. Jazmine Sullivan has a song called "Fear" it is the truth. There is a verse that said: "Scared to try because I'm scared to fail. Scared to look because I'm Scared to see. Scared to move on so I just live in the past. Scared to love because I'm scared he will leave. Don't wanna gain weight because I am scared of food". She makes it very clear that we are all human and you are not human if you don't have fear. So true so true!

So before you judge me, take a REAL good look at your life and I can guarantee there is something that scares the heck out of you. I was scared to start a blog because I feared being judged but when God is on your side and your heart is in the right place it doesn't matter. Now, that I am over that on to the next thing. We can all preach about being Fearless and not being afraid but when LIFE SLAPS the mess out of you it is a whole different story. Yes we know what to do but do we actually do it? I knew what to do and what affirmations to quote but did I actually believe it?

Fear is more like an annoying itch that you can't scratch, it's there but you can't seem to get rid of it. It could be the simplest things that make Fear rise up. Naturally we live in a society where fear is promoted and we are expected to live our lives as such. Just recently, fear has been an unwelcomed visitor in a few situations of mine. I was faced with a situation that literally had me paralyzed and I did not want to deal with it. I have realized that it doesn’t matter how long you have been in the church and how good you can pray, life is still filled with issues that you MUST deal with.

Sometimes we can become comfortable in our faith or even our current situation that we don't want to grow because we are scared of failure. Life can beat you up so much that we don't want to move on. This was the case for me! Now of course, I don't like to give up easy. There is a bit of stubbornness inside of me so I had to use that trait to fight. Now on the spiritual side I had to pull up all of my past victories and dissect them. God was ALWAYS been there which means I win. Sometimes being stubborn is a good trait to have especially when it comes to the devil. There is no way I am going to let him win this battle or any other battle for that matter...

When in doubt always replay the past issues and trials that have occurred in your life and look at the outcome. I have had some crazy and horrific things to happen to me but God was always there! We can either chose to win or lose. There are things in my life that I want and desire and if I chose to stay where I am it will never happen, so the only solution is to swallow whatever fears I have and dive in. It’s so crazy because I thought to myself; I know this already so what is my problem? Plain and simple "I didn't want to FAIL"....

"Fear not for I am with you". (Isaiah 41:10) God wrote it I didn't. At this present moment I have a true revelation of this scripture and NOW it is time to move on!! As the late Ray Charles would say: " I'm gonna make it do what it do baby..." :)

STAY FEARLESS!!

Till Next Time!
