Becoming Fearless – Part 2

As Christians, there are times when we fear one another. We are good at quoting Scriptures but when it comes to living them out that is a different story. We fear being seen differently, we fear being talked about, we fear what others think about us, we fear being judged, we fear being ridiculed, and we fear others seeing us as being weak or who we are portraying to be. We should not be afraid of one another. As Children of God, children of the most High God, sisters and brothers in Christ. We are to be rooted and grounded in love. The only one we are to fear is God. We aren’t even supposed to fear God like we do in the natural with terror. We are to have awe Him. A profound reverence and respect for God. “We love Him because He first loved us”, I John 4:19. In order, to get rid of fear we must confront those areas that we have been hiding from. Fear is not our portion. It’s time to expose it and walk in true freedom. Let’s not allow the fear of man to hinder us from walking in the fullness of all who God has for us as His children.

Expose the Enemy In Your Life

There are times in our lives when we are in agreement with the enemy and know he has taken up residence within. We rather live a lie instead of facing the truth. We would rather hide, pretend as if we have it all together and keep up the façade. We can be so quick to get angry with someone and turn our backs on them. You have every right to do that but the one who we need to be mad at is Satan. Exposing the enemy in our lives can be a scary thing to do. The devil is the one who uses people to mess up people. So, if you want to get mad at someone get mad at the devil because he is the one who has hurt you through a hurting individual. He is the one who has you messed up and your family. He is the one that has stolen your health. He is the one who has your mind all confused. He is the one that wants you to stay stuck in your past. Don’t let the enemy hide in you rather expose what doesn’t line up with God. Expose the enemy in your life and be free.

Choosing An Alternative Lifestyle

Living an alternative lifestyle means you get to choose how you want to live. Living an alternative lifestyle means you reject what society deems as normal. Are you rejecting society or God? Alternative means a choice limited to one of two or more possibilities. When someone is coerced, forced, or chooses an alternative lifestyle that means that they don’t abide by the original lifestyle. The original lifestyle is a man and a woman. We all have a choice to make in life. If you choose an alternative lifestyle that is your choice. There are times when a past trauma causes this decision. We live in a fallen world and we are all prone to be hurt by someone. I want you to know that you have to deal with the hurt or it will always be in the back of your mind dealing with you subconsciously. It will not go anywhere and you will go through life pretending that you are okay when you are dying on the inside. You will be in and out of relationships until you deal with your issues and confront them! You may choose to stay in your alternative relationship because you refuse to deal with your past hurts and that is your choice.

When we are going through a trial or storm it could leave us at a loss for words or dumbfounded. We may wonder how did I get here. What in the world is going on? We can’t believe that we are in this place of being tested and tried. As a child of God, we must learn how to see God in the middle of the trial. We must remember God is in control at all times and He is perfectly aware of what we are going through. He wants us to come to Him boldly for strength, comfort, and direction for our next steps. When we begin to think like God does we will be able to see as He does. One thing is for sure and that is God does not make mistakes and He knows exactly what He is doing. It’s our job to trust Him completely and ask Him to help us to clear up our vision so we can clearly see what is before us. God is at work in our lives, He is shifting things around, shaping and molding us into who He wants us to be. He wants to be able to see clearly within our hearts.

Repairing our relationships can be messy at times and we all have been there. Whether it’s in a marriage, friendship, ministry or family someone has to step up to the plate to be the bigger person and resolve the issue. There are times when you just don’t get it or understand what is being said or done. Sometimes we allow others to hurt us by not speaking up. Then we have those who know exactly what they are doing when they set out to hurt us. No matter what type of relationship its is don’t allow it to keep you stuck in a place of anger, regret, bitterness and emotional turmoil. If the relationship will lead to harm absolutely separate yourself from the individual. Will you continue to live in that mindset of it is what it is or will you get your peace back.
