We are on Day 3! Hopefully, you have been receiving a lot during this time of prayer! The journey so far has been life-changing! We have intentionally been praying through the vision God has for us and the elements that can hinder us from fulfilling the goals that God has for our lives.
2 Timothy 1:7 NLT
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
[NKJV] For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
A spirit of fear has not been given to you by God. A spirit of fear comes from Satan, don’t receive or partner with it. At times fear can enter in when God gives us a vision which is bigger than us
If the vision is from God it is meant to be bigger than yourself & you will need God to complete it. You cannot do it on your own. Fear comes when we don’t trust God with the vision. Fear can enter in when we attempt to take control of the situation.
Why do we take control:
· Lack of trust that God can do it
· Fear of disappointment
· Self-sabotage
We must resist & reject the fear and replace it with faith. Fear is the opposite of faith.
Prayer Points & Declarations
· I resist and renounce fear.
· Fear will not paralyze me.
· Lack of control will not paralyze me.
· I trust God. I believe that He is faithful
· I will allow God to root out of me anything that is holding me back from partnering with Him towards my success.
· I will have courage. I am a faith giant.
How do we build faith?
· Find promises of God to stand on
· Rehearse those promises (Faith arises by hearing. Romans 10:17 NKJV- So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.)
· Speak over your vision & goals
· Write out & visualize your vision & goals (write a declaration based on the Word)
· Pray over your vision and goals regularly and prepare for what you pray for. We must continue in our expectation.
James 2:17 NIV
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.)
