Facing Your Fears

How real is FEAR? Are u ready to FACE it when it comes your way?… I believe it’s all a part of this Life’s Journey. It happened to me and I would like to share it with you, so that you can rejoice with me for what God has done for me and encourage each other.

31st July 2007, it’s the day I will never forget. My parents were out of station for ministry purpose. On that day while returning from work at night, as I was driving home I thought about how much I love MY house. I have always tried to take care of MY beautiful house in which I have lived for past six years.

When I was just 50 meters away from MY house I sensed something had happened to MY house. I just overlooked the thought regarding it just an imagination. I parked my bike and headed towards the door with keys in my hand. When I reached, I saw the lock and the bolt was detached from the door and the house was open. I stood there in state of shock. A particular kind of fear gripped my heart and this fear was unknown to me hitherto. I realised my hands were shivering and a chillness ran through my body. Somehow I took courage to push the door; inside the room it was very dark. My only defence to whatever may come was my Helmet. Soon I discovered my house was robbed and rien-sacked. The house was in chaos. Can you imagine my FEAR?

I would like to stress on the word FEAR. If you keep focus on your self in any situation it is very difficult to overcome. We can not overcome by our own strength.

If I keep crying over the fact that someone robbed MY house and keep cribbing about it, what difference will it make? The Bible says in James 1: 2 – 4 (The Promise Bible)
2.Dear Brother & sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy.
3.For when your faith is tested your endurance has a chance to grow
4.So let it grow, from when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything

Wonderful passage! It made me think differently about the situation I was in. My Fear was because I was left alone, The Word of God also says in psalm 56:3 that “when I am afraid, I will trust in you.”

Satan uses FEAR to destroy mind and body, Fear destroys but Faith creates. “God’s Word is health to all our flesh” (Proverbs 3:8) Dr Charles Mayo said, “I have never known anyone who died of overwork, but I have known many who died from fear, anxiety, worry.”

I was in the state of fear of insecurity and HIS Word assured me that his protection & deliverance is the way to overcome fear in difficult situations. Stand firm in your belief that you have been delivered. If anything has been oppressing you, command it to go in the name

of Jesus Christ. If the fear seeks to return in any form, call out to Jesus Christ as your intercessor and mediator before the throne of God. Follow these steps again as the Holy Spirit would guide you and as you continue to do this and centre your life on Jesus Christ in every area, your deliverance from fear will remain.

“On my Life’s journey there are will be FEARS, but the Lord strengthens me with HIS WORD… this is just the beginning of my journey”
