ROOTS OF FEAR
Invision a plant…There would be no plant without the roots… This is where my blog will take us today, learning about the roots of fear.
Doubt, anger, rejection, and all other negative emotions are the basis and the roots to the emotion we call fear…How, you may ask`? Well, all those emotions are based on the unknown, like, what is going to happen to us ? how is it going affect us? Why has it happen to us ? Why does he not love me ? In fact it seems that all these emotions are based on how we FEEL. I think , that this is why we should not always base our lives on how we feel. Feelings are fickel most of the time,what we thought would happen never does.
Fear is like a cancer, it eats up bit by bit any faith or trust a person has. Look into your lives, was there ever a moment when you were let down and hurt…the emotion that followed was the fear of being hurt again, so you became guarded to protect your self, and also robbed of any potential joy because you did not want to take another chance.
In 2nd Timothy 1:7 the Word of God tells us that God is not the author of fear..so then who is? The theif, the ennemy, or satan comes to steal kill or destroy…Jesus came to give us life and a more abundant life at that….
Along with love, God gave us faith, we all were born with it..(we have faith in many things, we have faith as we sit on a chair that it will hold us up.etc.).
Fear tolerated is faith contaminated..Chose what you are thinking about..The mind is the arena of faith or the arena of fear..your choice….The Word of God works, if you work it, by believing what it says…Or for those who don’t believe in the Word of God, you actions and reaction will manifest a positive or negative action to your thoughts. The way you think will determine how you feel..
Be a custodian over your thought life, if a negative thought arises, refuse to entertain it and speak out loud the desired scenario..it will halt the negative thought, keep doing that until you have mastered it, remember you are in control not your thoughts..a negative thought not acted upon is a dead thought…
If something is dead it can no longer harm you….and you will no longer fear it….
so my dear friends cut that plant at its roots, don’t let the “weeds” of fear grown in you garden. You are the gardener, you are in charge of your life, take control . No one can steal your joy unless you allow it..
i hope this makes sense……….mom
