No Fear Zone

Main Scripture: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)

Song To Meditate On: Whom Shall I Fear [God of Angel Armies] – Chris Tomlin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOkImV2cJDg)

Today’s scripture is well known and is used quite often by a lot of us. It tells us that God did not give us a spirit of fear, however, how many of us actually sees the manifestation of this scripture in our lives? How many of us can say we fear nothing?

As women we have so many fears, we fear that we won’t get married, we fear that we will not have children, we fear that something will happen to the children while they are away from home, we fear that we may not live long enough to see our children become adults and there are a myriad of fears that we have.

Today I want to remind us that we do not have to fear as it was not given to us by God. However, if it was not given to us by God then where did it come from? Will Smith in his movie “After Earth”, said “Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist…. danger is very real” he said ,” but fear is a choice.”

I must say I agree with Will Smith as we often think a lot about “what if” and then become fearful because of what we think the answers are. Another thought is that FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real.

Ladies, whatever fear is and wherever it came from, I encourage you to banish it from your lives. Enter the No Fear Zone, do not make irrational or hasty decisions because of fear, do give up on your dreams because of fear, do not settle for less than your worth because of fear. Instead, allow what God gave us to be manifested in our lives. He gave us a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. The amplified version says “… [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.”

Have A God Filled Day Ladies

Let’s Pray,

Mighty God, our Sword and our Shield, our Rod and our Staff we come to you today and declare that the spirit of fear will not be of us as nothing that is not of you shall abide within us. Instead Lord we receive the spirit of love, power, calm and a well-balanced mind.

In Jesus Name

Amen
