stand unafraid, all the good souls.
How can you expect to win this war when you are too afraid to fight? Are you too afraid to fight? Anberlin
I believe that we do ourselves more harm than others do. Does that make sense? When it comes to oppression or discouragement, I believe that most of it is internal and self-inflicted. So many times we underestimate ourselves and the immense power we are given to change this world. When we look at our lost and dying world, its so overwhelming. And naturally, as Christians, God calls us to chase out the evil and heal the hurt (in his name). But when we are met with that nudging, we often place inhibitors on ourselves with thoughts like “God can’t possibly want me to do do that, I’m too young” or “I’ve screwed up so many times, its not worth it.” Ahh.. We know the the world is dying, but we are too afraid to fight. But I want to encourage you otherwise!!
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these he will do, because I am going to the Father.“ John 14:12
This is so incredible! I am so confident in these words that I would be willing to put my life on the line. Of course I am going to take everything in the Bible as truth, but Jesus backs this up twice.. “Truly, truly..” How can we be afraid or discouraged? We can and will receive the power of Jesus Christ as we fight in his name… The power that holds victory over death!! What more do we need? So today, stand up and rebuke the lies that you are not good enough and that you cannot change the world. Don’t be too afraid to fight.
