To overcome fear is to live above your fears. Fear is one paralyzing emotion that if not dealt with can become what cancer of the blood is to the human body. Capable of inhibiting or restricting normal feelings of love, confidence and well being, fear triggers negative thought patterns, it breeds worry and anxiety, all of which can multiply like a giant snowball and consume a person’s entire life.
At one point or the other in life, we will all have to face fear. It could be at the time we are attempting something new or something dangerous. We all have the right to be afraid when facing the trauma of everyday ups and downs. That is normal fear. But those who let their fears stop them from doing whatever they would like to do or should be doing have crossed the line from normal fears to destructive fears. If for any reason, your fears keep you from doing God’s will, then that fear is destructive. There are a lot of fearful people out there who draw back and let life pass them by, simply because they are afraid. That is destructive! The tragedy here is that most of the things you fear never happen. Fear sometimes can be false experiences appearing real trying to make you forget everything and run. Those who allow themselves to be dominated by fear often become pessimist fond of complaining about everything.

It is almost impossible to overestimate the harmful effects that fear can have on your body, soul and spirit. Fear have been known to be the cause of some medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, kidney failure among others. Fear damages your soul by making you discouraged and worry sick. In that condition, your spirit becomes too weak to align with God. Fear is one of the tools that can quench the fire of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life. It can keep you from been joyful, happy and radiant. Fear keeps you from being effective in this life and steals from you many of your rewards in eternity. The bible tells us that without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6), fear literally keeps you from pleasing God. I bet you have been too complacent with that negative emotion for too long. It is time to deal with it and send it packing from your soul.
