Fear Of Failure

The Lord just will not let me get away from this miniseries on fear lol We have discussed that it represented one of the four kings that came against abrahams family. We talked about the fact that its manifested typically in three different areas. We have seen that it will contaminate our faith, and worry is the signal of fear. In the last blog we talked about the most dominant fears. The Lord has placed and out upon my heart a fear that causes many believers to be stopped or at the very least stunted. paul said one time to the church at Thesslonians Satan HINDERED US(1 Thess 2:18) If satan cannot stop, he'll attempt to stunt! The bible declares the JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH, if any man draws back, my soul shall have NO PLEASURE(Heb 10:38) What is one of the biggest things that causes people to draw back? FEAR OF FAILURE! In this blog were going to talk about two people that were nearly stopped from completing the mission and mandate of the lord for their lives by it and also how to overcome it! The first person that dealt with nthe fear of failure was Moses. He was the man that called was calling to go into pharoahs court telling him LET MMY PEOPLE GO! When called spoke to him from the burning bush, he began to say Im a studderer. What was really going on? Moses was being riddled with the fear of failure. remember what the lord said? Tell him, IAM SENT YA! Well he finally stepped out in faith and it mentions that very fact in the eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews! The second man was Gideon. He was a man that God himself called great valor and FEARLESS courage! He was chosen to overcome a vicious pegan group of individuals. lets examine Gideons response and reply to God saying that he was a mighty man of valor. Iam the least in my Fathers house and come from the poorest in all families in Mannasah(Judges 6:14) He had a fear of failure based upon where he was and where he had come from. Gods words frame things dontf they? God completely turned it around by the power of his declaration and it produced a powerful image in Gideon and it was the cataylst that empowered and endued him defeating the enemies of God. Now overcoming the fear of failure. Number one, Revelation. We must recieve revelation that Gods for us and his power is in us and in that might we can do all things! Revelation speaks to having our eyes opened to a thing. This happened to Elijahs servant when there was this famine in the land. There was no cloud in the sky, yet the man of god told his servant get the chariots ready its going to rain for three and a half years! the servant did;nt believe, he had looked and there was not a cloud in the sky. Elijah simply said TAKE ANOTHER LOOK and it was on the seventh time that he saw the cloud the size of a mans hand. Elisha and his men were outnumbered in the natual by the assyrian army. The servant began to freak out and Elisha simply prayed lord open his eyes that he may see that those that be fore us are MORE than those vthat be against us. It was than that the servants eyes were open and he SAW the angels with flaming swords and the chariots of fire. The pont behind this is revelation will overcome the fear of failure. Its when our eyes are opened to the fact that Hes for us and his power will produce the annointing that will break every yoke and remove every burden. We must step out in that revelation. Theres a saying that "When God sends us fishing for moby dick BRING THE TARDER SAUCE!" In other words we will not fail!!!! Number two, Realizing rights. We have been given privledges in Christ Jesus that belong to us right here and NOW. The Lord said it this way in and through the mouth of David Bless the lord all my soul, FORGET NOT ALL THINE BENEFITS(Psalm 103:2) It overcomes the fear of failure when we realize what belongs to us. Many reasons why people have that fear is because they dont KNOW that they have. Jesus said We SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH and the truth shall make us free(John 8:32) Notice its not the truth that makes us free, its KNOWING THE TRUTH that makes us FREE! God said through the mouth of Hosea My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge(Hosea 4:6) God said through the mouth of Peter grace and peace be multiplied to you through the KNOWLEDGE of the Lord Jesus Christ that HATH GIVEN US ALL THINGS that pertain to life and Godliness(2 Peter 1:3,4) Blessings and benefits cannot be partaken of until the're known and understood! Faith exists where the wwill of god is known! What does faith do to fear? It completely destroys and decimates it! When fear knocks and we send faith to answer, NOBODY WILL BE THERE! Finally number three, Recieving ID. This sociey is really suffering from and an Crisis. people simply dont know who they are and as a result fear failure because of that uncertainty. The enemy wants people identified with their past, expierences, peers, words that were negatively spoken, some actor or muscician. the only place to find our id comes from the very source of our creation GOD! Were created in his own image and likeness. The book of Hebrews declares that Jesus was tempted in all points as a man to identify with every single thing that we would ever be in the midst of. satan will attempt to infiltrate our identity. He did it to Adam and Eve when he said You'll be like God, they already WERE! and than he did it to Jesus in the wilderness If you be the son of God? He had already known the he was the son of God, there wascvthe thundering voice of the Father saying this is my son in whom im well pleased! Jesus answered with the WORD! god said and through the mouth of James that when we look away from the word, we'll FORGET WHAT MANNER OF PERSON WE ARE(Jms 1:23) In other words, when we quit looking into the word of God for our ID, we'll begin to take on the id of other things! This will produce the fear of failure because it cannot and will never bring forth confidence and courage. God states a profound and powerful phrase predominately throughout the Epistles IN HIM, IN CHRISt and IN WHOM. This is where we are to find ourselves! WE ARE IN CHRIST! Recieve it in Jesus name it will crucify and image of failure and will grant the boldness to do whatever hes requiring
