God Hasn't Given Us the Spirit of FEAR

This is going to be the BEST year of your life.

This is going to be the year when ALL of your dreams and desires are
realized.

2004 is the year when you will SOAR and realize all you have been hoping
FOR and MORE!!! (Hey, I’m a Poet and didn’t know it.)

I can’t believe it’s 2004 already. It sure feels like we were
celebrating the year 2000 only two months ago, doesn’t it, or maybe
that’s just me.

Well, with a brand new year, what better time to focus on changing your
life. For some reason, when January 1 rolls around each year, we feel as
if we have been granted a fresh start. Let’s make the most of this fresh
start and make this a year to remember. For this is the year that the
Lord has made and EACH and EVERY DAY I will rejoice and be glad in it.

This year I’m going to change the format a little. What I’ve noticed
over the past two years of having this ezine, is that although you KNOW
that you have a purpose for being here, you aren’t really that strong in
your spot in believing in yourself.

I’ve coached many people, both on this list and off this list, who find
their purpose and are excited and motivated to live their life with
purpose. But, what I’ve found is that there are always two things that
constantly get in the way of you living the best and fullest life you
could possibly live.

Those two things are FEAR and what I call “Stinkin’ Thinkin’.”

So, what I’ve decided to do this year is concentrate on eliminating Fear
and Stinkin’ Thinkin’ from your life COMPLETELY. I am going to break it
down so that it will forever be broke.

You are going to learn WHY you can’t seem to get out of the rut and what
you will have to do to destroy the two enemies that are holding you back
from your success.

God didn’t put us here to be miserable and struggling all of our lives.
He put us here to have dominion. How can you have dominion over all
living creatures on the face of the earth if you don’t have dominion
over yourself?

We are going to spend the entire month of January focusing on
eliminating fear from our lives.

In the past, I’ve written a few articles on Fear, but this month we are
going to go deeper and eliminate it completely from our lives.

Fear is responsible for holding so many people back from living their
life to the fullest. And the crazy part about it is that FEAR does not
exist. I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying Fear stands for False
Evidence Appearing Real. That is EXACTLY what it is—FALSE evidence that
appears real.

It is FALSE evidence that you will not be able to make a living doing
the thing that you enjoy the most.

It is FALSE evidence that no one will take you serious.

It is FALSE evidence that you don’t have what it takes to start or run a
business.

It is FALSE evidence that you need an education or a degree to do the
thing you most want to do (unless the thing you most want to do is
become a doctor or a lawyer, because unfortunately you can’t
legitimately practice without passing a test).

It is FALSE evidence that you will fail.

It is FALSE evidence that you can’t become a millionaire unless you hit
the lottery.

ALL FALSE EVIDENCE.

Where’s the proof?

The truth of the matter is once you make up your mind to do something,
if you desire it strongly enough, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.

The Bible tells us WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. And it also says
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE.

I didn’t say that. The Bible did. And, if it weren’t true, the Bible
wouldn’t have said it.

So this year, we are STOMPING OUT FEAR!

We are letting Fear know that it has to take a back seat this year,
Buddy. Because we are going to turn our lives around and become focused
on what we desire most—and that’s freedom; Freedom to live the type of
life we desire to live; Freedom to have peace of mind; Freedom to have
that inner peace that we are always seeking.

For this is the year of endless possibilities and we are going forward
full force. Ain’t no stoppin’ us now.

Are you with me? I sure hope you are down for the ride because lives
will be changed. You will start to realize that the only thing that is
holding you back IS YOU!

ACTION POINT: Think of one thing that you have been afraid to do but
always wished you could do, AND DO IT. This might mean that you go to a
Karaoke show and sing in front of an audience because you’ve always
feared singing in public. Or this might mean you stand up in church to
do the WELCOME because you have a fear of public speaking. Or you could
go up to a total stranger who you think is extremely good looking and
introduce yourself and start a conversation because you’ve always had a
fear of approaching people who you think are very attractive. I don’t
care what it is—just be like NIKE and JUST DO IT!!
