Fear Does Not Come From God!

Can you believe that fear has kept me from blogging! The fear of revealing too much about myself, the fear of someone using my thoughts against me, the fear of saying the wrong thing the wrong way and making the wrong IMPACT!!!!

This is what I have discovered about fear... IT IS NOT OF GOD!

II Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of Fear; but of power, and of love and of sound mind.

So...I'm back!

One of the wisest Christian men I know shared this verse with me to build up my "armor"! He explained the most effective way to protect ourselves is to shield ourselves with the word. I have never been strong at memorizing verses...but it is time to try a little harder! My friend also provided the following verse to read several times a day to keep our mind in the right place;


The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000.

The Psalms 23

The LORD Is My Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. Rev. 7.17
3 He restoreth my soul:he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Have a blessed day!
We'll talk again soon!
