Fighting Fear

So, it's been a while since I have blogged about anything. This blog was created to inspire entertainment professionals to honor God with their work and lifestyles, and to inspire people with dreams to pursue them for His glory. When you dream really big like myself, you know that they are not just dreams, but what God has called you to do on this earth. And to get to the place where those dreams manifest, it's a process.

A lot of the time the process has to do with sacrifice: sleep, time, TV, relationships, etc. Procrastination is probably the biggest thing that gets in the way of people's dreams. The bible even speaks of not being lazy and sluggard-like. However, 2 Timothy 1:7 in the Amplified says "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control." So, if He has given us the spirit of discipline and not fear, when we procrastinate are we really being lazy or are we scared of something? I reckon the latter.

So I challenge you to fight with me. A little over a month ago, I turned 27 years old. God and myself has declared this year to be the year of liberation for me. I started off my day with skydiving, and then I cut all my hair off and dyed it, 2 things that scared me. Now I'm fighting the fear of failure as it relates to my dreams. If you are from any inner city in America you probably relate to this and don't even know it. You have been brain washed from the day you were born that everybody knows you are going to fail. So, why try anything new and prove them wrong.

Their is a world out there that is hungry for what God has instilled in YOU! If you fear, there has been a war launched at you (And if you dream really big: [not that this doesn't apply to everybody, but] Eph. 6:12 in the amplified says that you are not fighting against regular demons, but master spirits and world ruler demons), and the devil cannot remain the only one that fights. We have to learn how to be offensive Christians and not just defensive (shielding when we are down). Engage in the battle! The devil has already been defeated anyways. Worship, ask God for comfort, and keep pressing in.....this feels like it's more for me the anybody else but I do pray that you all fight with me, whatever your fear is.

God Bless,
