To My Daughter Deidre.....Overcoming Fear...I Love You!!!

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7

Most of us have been afraid one time or another. We can always look up the definition of fear, but do we really understand it?

Many of us have fear that we don't know we have and once that fear is upon us, it can seem so overwhelming.

The wonderful thing about God is this; He understands and knows all of our fears even though we don't. And the more time we spend with Him the more He will reveal to us about us.

You see, God always prepares His children for the unexpected and the expected.

Let's look at fear:
Fear is an aversion to a person, place, activity, event or object that causes emotional distress and often avoidance behavior.

I want you to hear this and apply to your mind and your heart.

God did not give you the Spirit of fear or intimidation, but a Spirit of power, Love and a sound and discipline mind. Timothy 1:7...Remember that.

All through the word of God we see victory after victory of men conquering awesome obstacles in their paths. And these victories were complished because they trusted in God all the way.

God calls each of us to engage in spiritual warfare at times. Whenever satan wants to come against God's children, he does so by trying to intimate through fear...

Take a look a David and Goliath. Look how big, arrogant and boastful he was.  And remember, because God's anointing and fallen from Saul , he was unable to respond to Goliath challenge.

Listen sin stiffens the power of God in your life and obedience increases the power of God in one's life.

Also fear paralyzes and torments. That's why Saul could not respond.

However the anointing had fallen upon David, who was just a young boy, but the word of God's tells us that David was mighty in spirit...

David did not punk out because of Goliath's size, tone or his threats. As a matter of fact David saw Goliath through the eyes of God, who then saw Goliath as a pimple on a cheek.

David was righteous, the Spirit of The Lord was upon him. He defied Goliath challenging God' authority and His power.

Fact:
1 - David rested totally in God
2 - He over came fear by totally trusting in God's power and not his own

These are some of the World, Flesh and the devil's fear ground

1 - Bills
2 - shakey relationships
3 - Lawsuites
3 - Unstable jobs
4 - The economy

I'm sure you have more to add.  But you must stand firm in The Power of God to Overcome.

Never fear sudden calamity if you are walking uprightly before God.  It maybe a preparation for a great victory that will bring praise and honor to God. Remember Deidre, these battles and training ground for greater victories to come.

I want to say this to you as well. So often when gain victory in a matter, we look for some monetary value. Please when your victory comes, let it bring glory to God and trust me whatever you need, God already knows.

Deidre, you are strong, gifted and reliable. Go and reach the destiny God has for you. Reach your potential.

I Love you...
Your dad,,,


Happy reading...
