Transparent Moment

For years I walked in the Spirit of fear. I had no idea how much it had taken a toll on my life. It had me stuck. I was afraid of everything, afraid of what others thought about me, afraid to fail, afraid to be seen, afraid of disappointing God and so much more. What people don’t know is that I did everything afraid. Can you imagine, leading, teaching, preaching, all while walking around paralyzed by fear? I was limping while I was leading. It came to the point in my life where I got tired, tired of giving into this spirit that was trying to destroy me. When fear shows up at your front door, it’s main purpose is to assassinate what’s inside of you, to stop you , block you and pull you down. I had to get up y’all. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God has not given us a Spirit of fear, but of power, and of love an, and of a sound mind. The moment I realized I could do something about it, I did. I had to make a decision to stop agreeing with the atmosphere of fear. I had to denounce all of the irrational thinking that I inherited over the years. I had to stop believing the lies of the enemy and counter act them with the truth of God’s Word! Something shifted, I decided to believe that I belong where I am and there was nothing no one could do or say about it! I was in my lane, the lane God had created for me. There was a calling on my life and it was time for me to arise!! I had to show up and maximize destiny now!!! If this is you, if you can relate; I want to encourage you. First let me share this quote with you by Rosa Parks, “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” Second, don’t give in to fear, it will eat you alive and push you further away from your purpose. And lastly, make a decision to get up. I did!
