Dare your Fear - Part 1.

Hi guy's, I am back...

So here's a perspective on Fear and how to tackle it, we will discuss it in a series, hope you find this helpful.

Fear is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of danger, but often at times it leaves your mind with a block, that cannot be easily overcome. That’s when we the basic survival mechanism gives you the antagonistic effect.

Here’s when we need to dare the fear.

I was reading somewhere about how elephants are tamed and one of those things that came of interest was how animal trainers used to control a five-tonne elephant and keep it from running away. They did it by controlling the animal's thinking. When a baby elephant was being trained, a rope was put around its leg and then tied to a wooden post secured in the ground. The elephant, which was not yet very strong, pulled at the rope but was unable to break it or to pull up the post. Eventually it gave up. From that point forward when the elephant's leg was secured it believed it couldn't get away-even though it was fully capable of escaping, and had been for a long time. It remembered its struggle. That's one reason it's said, 'Elephants never forget.' And we are like that too. Our thinking limits us, just as an elephant's does. Usually it's because of fear.

The truth is fear can steal your dreams. You may be afraid of failure. You may be afraid of rejection. You may not want to make a fool of yourself. You may be afraid of trying because you believe you can't succeed. If you give in to these thoughts and believe that you can't achieve your dream, you'll be right-and therefore unable to achieve your dream. Often what we fear has no connection to reality. But here's the good news:

Fear can be overcome.

The first step to overcoming it is to believe God when He says about you: '...You are my servant; I have chosen you...do not fear, for I am with you...I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand'

The words 'fear not' appear in the Bible all the way from Genesis to Revelation, since God understands that fear is not only our biggest enemy but our constant companion, and He wants to help us overcome it. It consists of a collection of "cant’s, musts, must-not’s," and other unfounded beliefs formed from all the negative thoughts and decisions you have accumulated and reinforced during your lifetime.

The good news is, because fears are feelings, the faulty ones can be removed by faith in God, and you can become free from them.
