Live Wisely Live Fearlessly : " Pray that I will proclaim this message clearly and fearlessly as I should. Be wise when you engage with those outside the faith community; make the most of every moment and every encounter. " ( Colossians 4:4-5) Set sail ! Let the refreshing breeze of God's love whisk away every trace of fear. Surrender your ship, and allow your vessel to be wholly His. Let Him splash His grace-rich glory all over you.  Don't drop an anxious anchor and stand still , too afraid to live courageously.  You're not ruled by those fears any longer ! His love has cleared away those tyrannical forces and given you a new name -  called ,  free ,  chosen ,  healed ,  strong , and  cherished . So what are we so scared of?  What can anything in this life take away from us ? Hasn't He promised? Won't He stay true to His Word? Everything we'll ever need and all the dreams planted deep inside our hearts?  Secured . All is safe in the han...

The Lord Walks With Me : " For the LORD your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory! " (Deuteronomy 20:4) You're constant,  constant above the chaos of the corruption  of this world. You are faithful,  faithful through my fears  that attempt to chain me up and imprison me.  You're with me , with me through the winds that want to weather me down into a withered, worried mess.  I'm running to you , though my legs are weak and breaking beneath the weight of this burden. I'm lifting my hands to Your heavens. Through it all,  I will choose to worship You  still. Through it all, I will bless Your holy Name. Through it all,  I will trust that Your plan is best. I will fight, fight to be still and to rest . -The Introverted Evangelist

Be Not Dismayed, I Am Your God : " Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand...For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you ." (Isaiah 41:10, 13) Really sensing that God is speaking this verse over me lately. It's been recurring a whole lot... He's reminding me, " Fear not. Let your fears dissipate in the divine glow of My glory. I am with you. I will help you. Fear is just a lie. Trust in the truth of My promise. I Am your God - now and always, sovereign over all ." What an  anchor for my soul . What hope to make this heart whole. I'm  running to You , my King. To Your Presence I will cling. He is Lord, Lord over all. He reigns over the chaos.  He is good ,  even when I cannot see . He is faithful, even in my wandering. He is sovereign. When things feel like they're swirling out of my co...

Let Go of Fear : " For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more  in bondage to fear , but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the  bliss  of] which we cry, Abba (Father)!  Father ! " (Romans 8:15 AMP) Fear . My child, fear only wants to keep you bound up in chains.  Fear is a gruelling prison guard , his only desire to make you more and more miserable. Don't wear the  chains  that hold you  prisoner  as a  comfort-cloak . These are the very chains that I have already  broken  off for your  freedom . " Therefore if the Son makes you free,  you shall be free indeed . " (John 8:36) I long to see you liberated . At the very centre of My will for you, there is a promise of  impenetrable peace . The first steps of a faith-filled journey feel infiltrated with fears, but  faith and freedom finally begin when fears are put to de...
