Fear Can Be Good

A few months ago the Lord gave me this word for a friend. I posted it here and got a lot of flak for it. I was told that “fear is not of the Lord,” and while that is true what I try to tell people was that THIS is how the Lord gave me this word. He used the word “fear” so I did too. I wrote this as instructed so if you’re going to criticize this word then tell the Lord about it, DON’T post it to my comments.

The reason I’m posting this tonight is b/c I was having a conversation with someone earlier this evening and this came up so I felt that I should post it again. Who knows, perhaps the person it was intended for will actually see it this time.

 

Fear Can Be Good – 10-14-13

This evening on my way home from prayer I realized something. I realized that it’s okay to be scared, or nervous, to do something. Now most Christians will tell you that fear is wrong and that’s it’s of the devil and to rebuke it, but hold on hear me out.

When you’re scared, or nervous, about something it means that you’re not going into something half hazard. It means that you’re putting some thought into your decision because you don’t want to step out and be wrong. In that sense then fear can be a good thing.

So, my advice would be to take one step and stop. And if the ground doesn’t crumble underneath you then take one more step, stop, and wait. And you keep doing this until you know that the ground under you is solid; and then you run towards what you want!

Don’t be afraid to run towards what you want because you might just find out that it’s running towards you too.
