Fear is Still No Factor For Me Baby! :)

Good Morning Friends!

Thanks for writing all your amazing stories yesterday! It was my pleasure reading YOUR blogs for the day! It amazes me how each of you took your opportunity to thank God for all he has done! As each story came up… I was FILLED WITH JOY at all the HAPPY CONTENT flowing out of your hearts! This says so much about the real condition of your hearts! When given the floor to write about whatever you wanted… you guys spent your moment telling the world how good God is! I thank God for friends like you! Thank you for adding great value to my amazing life!

I woke up this morning thinking about some of the LARGE tasks on my schedule… thinking about a few LARGE hurdles I will have to jump over in the not too distant future… thinking about all the unrealistic expectations of some of my peers… and how impossible it will be to hold everyone in the fold as I lead FORWARD from here. These thoughts haunted me for about 10 minutes, until I remembered the blog from Monday! Then I was like, “Wait a minute… I’m not going to fail… it’s all going to work out… I am just a human… God is with me and I am under a DIVINE assignment… I have special angels surrounding me right now… SO DON’T SLIDE BACK INTO FEAR CHUCK BALSAMO!”

At that, I rolled over and gave my wife a kiss on the nose, told her I loved her, and I parachuted CONFIDENTLY from my bed! (our bed is way up in the air like an eagles nest) I walked through my living room to my family room… the place I meet with God in the mornings these days! Wow… what a difference one message can make! What if I had not remembered that blog… what if I had continued to think those kinds of destructive and disempowering thoughts for another ten or twenty minutes? This could have become a disastrous day! But instead… it will end up recorded as a MOST TRIUMPHANT one! 

Here are a few verses to TURN UP YOUR CONFIDENCE TODAY!

• Psalm 27:3 “Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.”
• Joshua 10:8 “The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”
• Psalm 118:6 “The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
• Isaiah 12:2 “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.”
• Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
• Romans 8:31 “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”

Did you wake up in fear this morning? Scared to face the obstacles in YOUR path today! Shake this off RIGHT NOW… be confident, and bold! Move forward as if you CANNOT FAIL… because if the Lord is with you, WHO can ever stand against you? Who or WHAT will ever be able to curse what God has already blessed? Walk with the Lord and TRUST him… and he will NEVER let you down!

I hope today’s blog adds great value to your amazing lives! I love you guys and I have already prayed that your day would be AMAZING! Chat later… don’t forget church at Destiny Family Center TONIGHT at 7pm!
