Are You Afraid? by femixyz(op): 7:16pm On Jun 07, 2016
It is just too costly to live life afraid. In warfare, the first enemy to eliminate is fear. Once this is done, the battle is as good as won.
Fear steals your joy, it cripples the mighty and makes a fool of the wise. Fear rewrites people's destiny. There is no benefit to fear other than the reverence we have for God which is born out of faith rather than fear.
Life could be intimidating and debilitating and only the brave and courageous do find their feet. Those who are afraid to pursue their dreams end up serving other people's dreams.
I believe you have substance inside you that'll be a huge blessing to this generation and the next, but at the gate of that manifestation is the spirit of fear. I challenge you to push it down.
The Holy Spirit is our advantage over the spirit of fear. He empowers us to function in realms beyond the ordinary. Nothing can stop a man who is drunk in the Spirit and walks in His wisdom - he is an indomitable specimen of destiny.
Your true destiny is beautiful and it will manifest. Fear will not rewrite your destiny in Jesus name.
Go and succeed.
_PEACE!

I have heard Christians several times screaming "fear god". OP should start from there. Fear is negative and is as a result of misinformation. All Christians are under fear of Satan and Hell fire based on the lies told by pastors.

Exactly what I was thinking. Fear is the lifeblood of Christianity.

when Christians say FEAR God, this particular fear is not about being scared of Him, or being scared of His judgement or His works but rather we talk about fear that comes from respect, the fear we're talking about is gotten from the reverence we have for God.
any other fear outside this is negative.

you are wrong, My God don't send anybody to hell, humans were created as a free thinker, so we choose our destination by our actions or inactions.

You strike me like a good person caught up in wrong ideas. Yes actions of ours determines what we experience/feel. But god is an idea imposed on you and this "god idea" created hell. Basically you meant hell and heaven are a state of mind...but you will disagree because you are scared to think this way(Fear again). The bible god is not real,it is only an idea created to check human excesses....so putting a fear of an imaginary god in humans have so far helped make readjustment, but then the down side is fear,which is still negative.

I am amazed at your intellect. you claim not to believe in the existence of God but how did you come to being? How come you find yourself reading religious post? guess there something you are looking for which I guess is God, do you actually exist, if yes then prove yourself.

pls, if you don't believe in God then what do you believe in?
