Fearless...?

Fear less and Faith more!

It has come to a head and God is patient and has all the time in the"world", more like he is out of this world and time means nothing to him really. We however are stuck in this fallen world for now and have a mission set before us and time is running out.

Fear. what is fear?

Wikipedia says
Fear is a feeling induced by perceived danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behavior, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events. Fear in human beings may occur in response to a specific stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a risk to body or life. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis.

​thats a definition.

God says in his word -
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4).“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:6-7) (Also see Psalm 55:22-23)

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones” (Proverbs 3:5-8).

​And Finally for now -

“So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:6).

“I can do everything through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

The reason i am touching on fear is, good friends hit me with "fear is the absence of faith
( trust in God)" and I thought "Cant be, I have faith!" Well... clearly i am not trusting him with my music and my Fear of audiences/ performing/ etc. WHEN THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS TOLD ME TO DO!
​Fear of failing means you will never try, and failing to try means you will never get
anyw​here, which is exactly where the enemy wants you ...FROZEN!!! STILL AND DEAD.

NO MORE !!!
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4).

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones” (Proverbs 3:5-8).

​We as humans always look for perfection when mediocrity will usually get us to the next level, I have always wanted to get everything in place and perfected and then move forward but this doesnt work. We need to step up and out in faith and the Lord will direct our paths and provide the resources, people and the right tools for the job to be fulfilled, We need only step out in Faith.

​Step up and out with me and lets journey together, that we may have a testimony to come forth...
