Brave Heart Baby, Brave Heart!!

"For God has not given us a spirit of Fear but of Power, Love and a Sound Mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).
God has not given us a spirit of Fear! That should be encouraging enough to pull a Brave attitude out of our hearts to help us confront anything that trys to rob from us, steal from us or may try to destroy us.

By looking at that verse please understand that Fear is a spirit, just like Faith is a spirit ( 2 Corinthians 4:13, "with the same spirit of faith,") and I believe that Fear comes the same way that Faith (Romans 10:17) comes which is by hearing and hearing by the word of Fear. The enemy, negative circumstances and even negative minded people (even those close to you) will say things/words that will get you to operate in fear. The enemy knows that Fear will make you run, tremble, quit, hide and it will paralize you. Fear is never productive rather to the contrary it is destructive.

I'm not sure what you are facing or how severe your problems may be but I do know that God doesn't want you to live in Fear at all. Don't be afraid to confront sin, don't be afraid to confront pornography, don't be afraid to confront your fits of wrath, don't be afraid to confront your pride, don't be afraid to confront the alcoholism, don't be afraid to confront your selfishness--DON'T BE AFRAID, DON'T BE AFRAID!!
God wants everyone that serves him to look their problem(s) right in the face, resist the spirit of Fear and with the courage that he supplies recognize that they cannot be defeated by life's problems because as Christians "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1st John 4:4).

God doesn't beget suckers, lames, or weak willed feeble people. A Brave God begets Brave men and therefore they must possess Brave Hearts!!

My Brother you are a Brave Heart.....a Brave Heart!
