Come Up Higher: A Call to Deeper Fellowship and PurposeSample

OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF HEIGHTS

As God calls you to come up higher, Fear often becomes the greatest obstacle. Fear of failure, Fear of change, or even Fear of success can paralyze you and keep you stuck in familiar but unfruitful places. Yet, God has not given you a spirit of Fear but of Power, Love, and a Sound Mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

The enemy uses Fear to keep you from walking in Faith. Fear exaggerates challenges and minimizes God’s Promises. However, overcoming Fear begins with focusing on God’s Faithfulness rather than your limitations. When Joshua was preparing to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, God repeatedly encouraged him to be strong and courageous, reminding Joshua of His constant Presence (Joshua 1:9).

To rise higher, you must confront Fear with Faith. Speak God’s Word over your fears, remind yourself of His Promises, and take steps forward even when the outcome is uncertain. Trust that He holds you securely and will never leave or forsake you (Isaiah 41:13).

THOUGHT TO PONDER: What fears are holding you back from coming up higher? How can you confront those fears with Faith today?

PRAYER: Lord, I surrender my fears to You. Fill me with courage and confidence in Your Presence as I step into the Higher Places You have prepared for me. Amen.
