A time to put asunder

Fear is an intruder. It comes together with every new idea. Fear turns up every time you are about to take a bold step in the right direction. The good news however is that even though fear doesnt need your permission to come, it definitely cannot stay without your express permission. David never could have faced Goliath if he entertained fear, same for Jehu as he killed Jezebel. Gideon never could have faced the Assyrian army that was so many times larger than his own if he entertained fear. Fear is anxiety, fear cripples, fear blinds, fear delays, fear manipulates, fear steals your peace, fear aborts plans, it stops the future from the present. Fear is an incomplete picture. It is a voice you need to silence. Some of us are afraid of taking that bold step but Isaiah 41 verse 13 says 'for I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear, I will help you'. Some of us live in the fear of other people but the bible says in Hebrews 13 verse 6 'So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid, What can man do to me'. Some of us are scared of taking that bold step because of the enemies we face today, But this is what Moses said to the people in Exodus 14 verse 13, 'Do not be afraid, and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today, The Egyptians you see today, you will never see them again'. When you have a vision and fear tags along, quickly put asunder. Phillipians 4 verse 6 says 'Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God. Verse 7 says and the Peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Dont let fear take away that peace today. Let God take the lead, all you have to do is follow.
