Fear To Surrender

Do you have fear to surrender your life?  Surrender can bring good change to your life, it can open the door to your "wildest dreams".  We constantly try to set out own paths and we waste so much energy trying to create our own plans.

If we are able to be obedient and surrender ourselves we will open our lives up to unlimited blessings.  Remember that fear comes from satan to restrict your life so you will be afraid to move closer to God's plan for you.  He will use fear so we will self-doubt ourselves and be unable to have positive progress.  And when you have a positive attitude about living a good life, he will create doubt from every direction so you will be too overwhelmed to move forward.

I have found that when this overwhelmed feeling comes over me, I need to step back, smile and say to myself, "No, I'm one step ahead of of you satan and I put my trust in Christ, He will pull me through any obstacle."  Fear used to be my middle name.  I have missed so many opportunities in my life because I was a slave to fear.  But just because I have been a slave to fear in the past doesn't mean I have to keep repeating this weakness.

Fear is a small word with large penalties.  It is capable of controlling every aspect of our lives if we allow it to.  God doesn't want us to have any type of fear in our life.  We are not able to be our "best" self if we allow fear to keep us from "living".  Satan is going to use fear to keep you from "surrendering" your life.  He will constantly throw problems and scare tactics into your life so you will re-consider your surrender.  As long as he is able to give you fear and self-doubt you will not be able to be free in Christ.  Don't allow him to rob you of all the wonderful opportunities God has for your life.  As long as God is in our life, satan can never defeat us!  Satan is going to trip us up, but get right back up, dust yourself, smile and say . . ."you're not going to stop me, God's plans are my plans".

Matthew 10:28-31 Jesus says. . .28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.  But rather fear Him who is  able to destroy both soul and body in hell.  29"Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin?  And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will."  30"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."  31"Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows."

Jesus says - you need to fear satan only, he is the only one who can kill your soul.

Let's learn to fear the right thing and have no fear in life.  Give God the respect He deserves by allowing Him to handle life's fears.  Don't give satan any respect by having fear.  Jesus died for you because He loves you, He is going to protect you if you are willing to trust Him.  Have No Fear!
