Seasonal Fear – by Stephanie M. White
And do not [for a moment] be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries, for such [constancy and fearlessness] will be a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of [their impending] destruction, but [a sure token and evidence] of your deliverance and salvation, and that from God. Philippians 1:28 AMP
Fear can overtake us during an off-season. All off-seasons present us with doubts about who we are in Christ, our lives, our futures, our families, and so on. These doubts are presented – they do not have to be accepted. We can reject the fear by focusing on what the Word of God declares about our trial. Faith is fearless! Faith overcomes fear. Faith declares God’s promise instead of what your situation is articulating. Faith will show the enemy that the victory is yours.
When you are fearless it is because you are faith-full; you are full of the good promises of your God! Fear is of the flesh; fear is not Spiritual – fearlessness is! In order for you to live fearless in the face of adversity, you must be immersed in the Word. Your steady intake of the Word will produce faith, not fear, in your life. Fear is not for God’s children.
Fear can keep you from moving forward to take hold of what God has for you; it can keep you in your off-season. Man settles when man believes that he cannot experience anything better than what he currently has. We must fight those feelings with the Word! God has good plans for us! We must avoid fear like we would avoid physical sickness. The Word of God is our prescription for fear. If we will fill ourselves with the good things of God’s Word, then the infection of fear will be rendered harmless.
Do you want to take possession of what God has for you? Then tread fearlessly!
