“Your Own Worst Enemy”
By Christopher J. Hardwick
2 Tim 1:7 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a
sound mind. NKJV
I used to think that our own worst enemy was our self. Over the years I’ve come to
realize it is the spirit of fear disguising itself as ourselves and convincing us that this
is the way were made! This really is our own worst enemy! Do you know that “Fear
not” is used far more than any other instruction in the Bible by God to us? The spirit
of fear keeps us from truly who God made us to be! Now let’s take an in depth look
at the spirit of fear and expose it for the real enemy it is. The first thing is to look at
the above scripture because it gives us the true indicators of a spirit of fear. The
spirit of fear will try to convince us that we do not have the power to overcome. This
is true if were relying on our own strength or power. But if we know that we have the
power of the Holy Spirit in is and that God is waiting to express himself through us to
overcome every obstacle or crises or giant that would rise up against us, then we
have nothing to fear!
“Fear Not!” Says the Lord for I am with you to deliver you out of every situation!”
You must trust in me, because I love you and I want to bring you to the destiny I have
for you! You must let go of discouragement and step out in what I’ve said you can
do!” This is the day and this is the time of my presence says the Lord! You have
waited secretly for these days says the Lord and now that they are here you must
step up to the plate and swing for the fences! Do not go back to timid and passivity! I
did not make you that way! You have the heart of a Lion and that is authority! You
must pick up the authority that I have given you and have dominion over the earth! I
have given you the helper and I am with you says the Lord. I have always loved you
so Fear Not! Be strong and courage’s for I have given you the land to posses says
the Lord! You will arise and you will shine!” (While I was writing this article the Spirit
of Prophecy came on me so I felt led to include it)
We do have power because it has been given! God has given us power and help, so
receive it! “Fear Not!”
