Overcome the fear of people, the fear of failure, the fear of death, the fear of the future, the fear of the unknown, the fear of rejection, etc. Fear will keep you in bondage to the devil, to people, to circumstance, to the status-quo and even to yourself! Fear will hold you back from breaking through! Fear will keep you in mediocrity. Fear will stop you from trying anything new; from breaking new grounds and new territories. Fear will stop you from investing in anything or anyone. Isaiah 54:2-4, Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame . The question is, How much more would you be willing to do if you were sure you would not fail? Note that, the children of Israel didn t enter the Promised Land because of fear! Fear is a product of unbelief and it always leads to disobedience, if not overcome. To break through, you must confront and overcome your fears. Esther said If I perish, I perish but she never perished. The three Hebrews refused to bow to the image of gold and were thrown into the firey furnace. But they didn t burn. If you will not bow to your fears, you will not burn! David s mighty men broke through the garrison of the Philistines to get water from the well of Bethlehem. (1 Chron. 12) Sometimes you ll need to break through the enemy territory to get what you need or desire! Jesus said Behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you . (Lk. 10:19)
