Fear

Fear by Jason L. Moon
2 Timothy 1:7 says in the KJV “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
Even though the scripture flat out says that God, Himself, didn’t give us the spirit of fear yet here we are a bunch of people full of fear. Full of fear afraid of almost every single thing and so much so that people are afraid to say something as I love you or I love God or better yet I love Jesus. We’re so full of fear that Christians, any Christian is afraid to say anything without looking like some kind of judge, jury and executioner. You’ve got people out here full of fear because of what the world says there’s some kind of economic crisis. Why is it that you can be so afraid of that situation but when it comes time to church or ministry work you’re not afraid of anything? Two and half months ago on October 20th 2009 I lost my job that I had for six months; yes you would think that I would be over it by now. But on with the testimony I didn’t tell a whole lot of people that I lost that job because either I felt (feared) they would pity me or think that I done something to get laid off or my personal favorite get off your keister and look for something you’re a man after all. See, not telling anyone was done in fear not in the power of love that God gave to me. See, I was so worried about what they were going to think of me that I kept my mouth shut. Fear of what people would think was in total control and not God. So, now once again I’m back on the grind searching for a new job again I have to fight the fear and also the thoughts of others coming my way.
Next point, fear can keep you from something that has been pre-ordered for you to do. See, there’s this call on my life that I need to answer but again I am afraid of why and how this call has been placed in my life. Once again that spirit of fear creeps in with its no one will accept it and family members will get upset. Now, family members that believe are the ones I’m concerned about not the ones who may not believe I’m afraid when God gives me a word for them that the believers will not do what God has sent for them to do totally looking at me and thinking that I’m speaking as me and not God’s representative. Well not anymore will that fear hold me anymore 2010 is the year I answer that call and stop worrying about what you, you or you is going to think about me. Now, it’s Jason Moon’s turn not to think about you or your words of “preparations for the future.” The spirit of fear is not going to hold me in 2010 or the next year or the year after that. That fear is bound by God and only God has bound that I have to say one thing and that is hallelujah!
