No Fear

If you're being sensitive to the Movement of the Spirit, then you know that we are on the brink of something about to Break. I've received prophetic feedback for the last month or so that there is a "stirring in the Heavens". I believe this means that God is getting ready to Release something from the Heavenly Realm into the earth. When the Father sends this Release at His Appointed Time, I can assure you that things will not remain the same. For many of us our lives will be radically and I believe forever changed. A lot of times, when we as believers are faced with this type of pending Transition and Shift that will literally transform our lives, it's natural to be somewhat afraid. But saints, as we prepare to enter this New Season, we must adopt a posture and a spirit that says, No Fear.

We are about to encounter some obstacles that many of us have never experienced before. I believe that for those who have been chosen to travel this Path, the Spirit is already bearing witness with your spirit, letting you know (at least in part) some of the things that are waiting in store for you. As we are challenged to process some of these daunting challenges, we need to internalize the Word that the Father gave to His servant Joshua, "Be strong and of a good courage" (Joshua 1). Now is not the time to shrink back in fear and apprehension. Now is not the time to be anxious and worried. No saints. Now is the time to Get Prepared. Be Strong. This is not a spiritual suggestion, this is a Divine Commandment. The irony is that many of us are already Strong, otherwise you wouldn't have been chosen for the Assignment for which God has ordained you to fulfill. So tap into the Strength that God has already deposited in you. Then He says, Be of Good Courage. Sometimes you have to "muster up" your courage. You have to take that deep breath and say, I'm jumping in whether I'm ready to or not. It may not go down quite like that, the Holy Spirit will have us ready. But when the Movement hits and the subsequent persecution and opposition commences, we have to be of Good Courage. We have to have a spirit that says "Bring It On". Why? Because the Battle is not ours but the Lord's (2Chronicles 20).

A minister friend of mine was recently sharing with me their challenge with what they described as "self-confidence". I tried to encourage them and support them the best that I could, but nobody can Encourage like the Lord. They were watching a Christian television program, and the preacher was ministering about self-confidence; and what they said was is that we don't need "self" confidence, we need God-Confidence. Saints, this will be the key to operating in a spirit of No Fear. Are we adequate and sufficient for the task at hand in and of ourselves? Absolutely not. But is God? ABSOLUTELY. He's More than Able. This where our Confidence must lie. If we learn to Rest in God. If we truly believe that He has got our back and that truly no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54), then in our hearts we'll be able to embrace the belief that God has not given us a spirit of fear (2Timothy 1) and through the leadership and empowerment of the Holy Spirit, answer and fulfill our Divine Call and Destiny with, No Fear.
