I’ve grown up in an amazing Christian home and awesome
parents, who have always been great examples of how to daily walk out our walk
with the Lord. I didn’t think that
there was anything that I needed freedom from, but little did I know what the
Lord wanted to speak to me! We are
going through Brian Brennt’s Freedom Manual book and the past week, we’ve been
breaking off fear and passivity in our own lives- both of which I didn’t think
I had problems with. We went through a
checklist of some things we fear…. Fear of man, fear of failure, fear of the
future, fear of not doing the right thing, fear of _______ (the list could go
on!) And I begun to see that I had
definite things that I was fearful of, strongholds that the enemy has used to
hold me back from what God has called me to do!
After recognizing our fear, Brian took us through the four “R’s”-
Repeat for how
you have partnered with Satan in the area fear.
Receive the Lord's forgiveness in that area!
Rebuke the enemy
and tell him he no longer has a foothold of fear in your life.
Replace what the
enemy has lied about with what God says.
So freeing! We don’t
have to have any fear in our life, but the fear of God! We shouldn’t have fear of man, of speaking
to people that the Lord tells us to go talk to! I use to think that I was just
more of a quite person, not made to be the evangelist, or go do lots of street
preaching/ ministry, because I was terrified of speaking to strangers! But the Lord set me free from that fear! (I’m
not saying that I’m called to always be on the street corner preaching, but I
won’t be afraid to talk when the Lord asks me to!)
After breaking off fear, we broke off passivity. Another area I didn’t realize the enemy had
me! We broke up into small groups and again prayed and went through the four
“R’s” and again I was amazed at how many things I was passive about in my life-
passive about relationships, church, ministry, etc. After we broke off passivity, we preached it
to each other, it was such an amazing time of prayer and breakthrough for many
people!
I’m so excited about what the Lord is doing in my life and
what He will continue to do! I feel so
blessed to be here at YWAM Kona for this season.
*I definitely recommend Brian Brennt’s Freedom Manuel (you
can order it here! http://store.citycentral.org/product_p/freedom1-1-07.htm
) It would be great for any individual,
small group or church to go through!
Built on biblical foundations, it is incredible
