How to Overcome Fear and Step Into Your Destiny

DAY 1 OF 3

Day 1: Fear as Thief

Fear is an insidious thief who steals our moments of joy, happiness, fulfillment and blessing. It manifests itself in different forms: fear of failure, criticism, judgment, rejection, etc.

This emotion, used by the enemy, often paralyzes our destiny. Yet the key lies in our ability to act in spite of fear. Biblical examples such as Gideon and David illustrate that divine potential is within us, but fear must be overcome to access it.

When we decide to face our fears and inner giants like Gideon, we become "giant slayers" like David and inspire those around us.

God will say something important to Gideon: "Go with the strength you have." The angel of the Lord never said, "I'm going to give you supernatural strength that will enable you to defeat the Midianites." He didn't say, "You're going to do such and such and then I'll send an army of angels." I imagine, of course, that there had to be spiritual help, but God is simply going to say to him, "Go with the strength you have." to free Israel!

Let's not forget that fear is an obstacle to our full development, and we need to master our thoughts to break down these mental strongholds. By anchoring ourselves in God's Word, we can overcome fear and fulfill our destiny.

Realize that fear is a thief! It will steal your moments of joy, moments of happiness, moments of fulfillment, moments of blessing: it's a thief! Don't let it do that to you! There are many fears: fear of failing, fear of being criticized, victim of impostor syndrome, fear of opposition, fear of what people will say about us, fear of not being approved, and so on. All these fears block us, paralyze us. It's an emotion that Satan uses to hold back the destinies of God's children and it has to stop, you have to free yourself from these things because God has plans for peace and not misfortune, to ensure you a future full of hope.
