Most people are so aware of the feeling of fear that their potentials are not even existent. It often occurs when they are facing a situation bigger than their natural strengths. If fear takes holds of our heart, it will be difficult to have great achievement. Even more, we won’t be able to fulfill our destinies.

What is fear?

It is to be afraid of (something or someone); to expect or worry about (something bad or unpleasant). There are two types of fear: the positive and destructive fear.

• The positive fear is always beneficial.

We could teach our children not to play with outlet because they can harm themselves. So they will fear going near the outlet for they safety.

The fear of God makes us honor him, give him all the reverence, the respect, the love, adoration, praise. Because it is always for our good and guarantee us life, protection, blessings etc… (Deuteronomy 6:24; Proverbs 10:27; Psalm 33:18-19; Psalm 34:7).

• The negative fear is always destructive.

when a situation can steal your joy, peace of heart, when you loose control of yourself etc… (Psalm 55:3-5).

How can Fear be an enemy of purpose or destiny?

Someone said FEAR is a False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear is a not a person, it’s a spirit using the mind as a vehicle. The goal of fear is to paralyze and prevent the person from achieving what is very much possible. Everything starts in the mind. Your purpose is something you have never done and most of the time you have no experience in it. You don’t know the road to get there. So whenever you are facing obstacles trials, difficulties or simply pursuing your purpose that spirit will inject thoughts in your mind to limit your imagination, ability to think that with God all things are possible.

How to overcome fear?

In this case, most of the time, in order to overcome FEAR you have to DO IT ANYWAY- DO IT AFRAID- DO WHATEVER IT TAKES (Ezra 3:3). Don’t be afraid to fail, in fact look at failure as another way to do that thing you are doing. The Lord is with you. (Judges 6:1-32 – Gideon defeats fear).

Remember purpose is not for you but others. If you don’t discover and fulfill your purpose you will stop billions of souls on this earth from receiving the answers, solutions to their prayers, problems. Imagine if you were at their place, one of them waiting for someone to bring the solution. Would you want someone to hold on and refuse to release what can bring you and your family deliverance, liberation?
