Conquer your fears 💪
Do you ever get a little nervous about speaking in front of a small group or entering a room full of people? I’ve struggled a lot with this in my life. I decided many years ago to fight my fears and take a few bold steps. I started with baby steps. I agreed to teach a Sunday school class for seven singles in my church. Although I was terrified every Sunday, I made it through eight weeks without dying.
friend, have you ever struggled with this fear?
Can you imagine the terror that the 120 believers felt when their quiet prayer meeting turned into an upper room heavenly shouting match? “When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.” (Acts 2:6, NIV) It seems so incredible to me that people from all over the known world heard them speaking in their own languages. Do you believe God can still do miracles in your life?
God wants to reveal His greatness through you, but you need to boldly face your fears. I started with a small Sunday school class that grew to 400 every Sunday. It was incredible. I then took a small church of 200 that grew to several thousand. God is so great. Like David, I’ve been able to say, “Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.” (1 Samuel 17:36, NIV)
friend, conquer your fears and watch God do amazing things through you because you are a miracle.
