Fear, you don’t belong here!

Since I was young, fear tried to come and visit me.

Whether it was being afraid of the dark…

Afraid of getting hurt by something I couldn’t see.

Or worried that once again I would feel rejected by those closest to my heart.

As I got older, I found ways to hide my fears.

Believing I was handling them on my own.

Pretending it was gone until suddenly it reappears.

What I thought I could handle, is now fully shown.

I thought I had it under control.

Truth is, it was the other way around.

By not truly facing them and letting go…

It caused me to remain bound.

What I needed to do was surrender my fears to God.

Allow him to have control.

To realize that in order to be free, I must let go of the facade.

To take back the peace that the enemy stole.

What facade am I talking about?

It’s when you pretend to be free instead of facing it head-on.

It’s time to remove the mask, stop walking around in doubt.

God says you are free and not bound, his word you must stand upon.

In order to be free from fear, you must trust God completely.

Embrace God’s truth about you.

When God created you, he created you uniquely.

When you accepted Jesus, he made you brand new.

You no longer have to fear what people think of you.

You are fully loved.

God knows all you have been through.

He still says, my child, you are my beloved.

So take your stand this day.

No longer allow lies of the enemy to consume you.

Jesus has made a way.

Your freedom you can walk into.

So no matter what the fear..

Know that God will give you peace.

It is your job to take authority and say fear you don’t belong here!

And the lies of the enemy must cease!
