God did not give me the spirit of FEAR. He gave me the spirit of POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND mind!”
2Timothy 1:7
FEAR is something YOU allow!!
FEAR is the biggest weapon that that punk (Satan) uses, well tries to use against us. Don’t let him. He’s a punk. The only power he has is the power YOU give him. FEAR is deadly! You can live with it, but you will never live to your greatest deservings and/or potiental if you listen to the sound (Satans voice) of FEAR. It will put a hold on your dopest dreams. It will paralyze you mentally. It’s an illness. It’s yucky! It’s a parasite. The same way you wash your hands to prevent yourself from catching the flu. I suggest you wash your mind. Don’t let FEAR become you!
Now, I know what you’re thinking. It’s easier said than done right? Well, newsflash, that’s what the devil wants you to think. See with those thoughts the devil has already broken you down. You can’t be lenient with the devil cause he will not be lenient with you.
•Doubt
•Not FINISHING what you’ve started.
•QUITTING
•Excepting No’s because the devil has you thinking Yes is impossible
Let me be the first to tell ya, or maybe the last. Listen! A life of could haves and almost is WACK!!!! Okay WACK! STOP GIVING YOURSELF THE SHORT END OF THE STICK! Geesh!! Don’t YOU think you deserve better? Because I know you do! Forget the devil and his wack taunts! He is only what YOU make him. Fear is only what YOU make it!! If you water a plant what’s going to happen? Alright then! Well if YOU feed FEAR than ummmm….what do you think it’s going to do. I’m Just Saying…
I suggest you starve it!!! Dehydrate it!! Kill it!! BURY IT!! GET IT OUT OF YOUR MIND!
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7
One thing I’ve learned about FEAR is that we aren’t even tripping on things that are happening at the very moments of our lives, but more so the what ifs. I mean really really think about it.
Real life story. Okay, when my sweet pea was born she had to go to a childrens hospital, Rainbow Babies. (Previous blog post)I remember the doctor coming in before she got transported telling my husband and I what was happening etc. I remember seeing her mouth moving, but nothing was coming out. That’s because while she was telling me the present facts I was thinking about the “what if’s.” In my mind I was preparing myself for her to be mentally retarded possibly, and even dead. The doctor didn’t even speak of either of those things. But you see how the devil plays. He doesn’t care if it has to do with the well being of your children! But God….
Honey chile let me tell you since that happened to me, I ain’t (no typo) worried about a thing. Cause in those days, every second and I do mean that literally I called on the name of Jesus in prayer! I didn’t let up! I don’t have time to be fooling with the devil and his antics. I was on a mission. From the moment since I’ve been on one! I’ve live half my life scared of “what if!” The heck with “what ifs!” Shoot! I have a job to do and I can’t do it if I’m scared! I suggest you get on board! Of course the unknown is scary. But look, we’re not going to worry about that either, you know why? Check this out.
“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Todays trouble is enough of its own.”
Matthew 6:34
Now we know that’s the truth. Today has many task of its own. Don’t worry about things that haven’t even happened. Things that aren’t going to happen. You’re gonna worry about the unknown, when the unknown is on your side. Do bad things happen? YES! Do bad things happens to amazing people. YES. It’s life, and thats part of living it. We all have our trials and our tribulations. And it really really sucks. I know. But don’t let the devil rule you out with FEAR!
Shoot! You know how many things I’ve been working on or have worked on that has minimum results? But I refuse to give up until Jesus taps me out. I rather die knowing I’ve kicked butt trying and putting my best foot forward instead of cowarding out! What God has for me, it is for me! His will! His timing! So stop being so dog on hard on yourself! Patience! Don’t give in, and God knows please don’t give up. Don’t be a sucker. Don’t go out like that. It’s so beneath you!
In life you may hear more no’s than yeses. But it’s not meant to break you, it’s meant to build you. Stop settling. Go after what you want. Heck! Go after who you want!! Learn from your mistakes. Grow from them and come back even better. Failure shouldn’t make you weak. It should motivate you. Every no I have heard gave me drive. When it rains it pours! But the God I serve walks on water and He carries me through every flood. He keeps me from drowning. Will you let someone, regardless of who they’re, belittle you, taunt you, degrade you, disrespect you, down you etc? Soooooo why do you do it to yourself? It was just a question.
I’m Just Saying…
