In order to be free, we must face the fear, lies and unresolved pain by trusting that God is with us and that we are more than conquerors. Jesus invites us to go looking in our story for the broken and busted up things. He wants to take us on a journey where we finally face the things we’ve been scared to deal with. He wants to bring light into our darkness. But the enemy of our freedom uses fear to keep us held captive. He lies to us and uses scare tactics to prevent us from experiencing God’s great plan for our lives. He wants to kill, steal and destroy…everything.
Freedom requires fearlessness; it means we stop believing the lies and trust that God has our best interest in mind. He tells us not to fear, for He is with us. He comforts us and will walk through the valley with us. In order for us to be free, we must have the courage to explore what holds us captive. We have to stop believing the lies and accept God’s truth that we are more than conquerors.
