How I’m Fighting Fear in 2017

 

I was honored to serve on Kelly Balarie’s launch team for her new book, Fear Fighting.  It is on sale today!  Go to fearfightingbook.com to purchase.

Kelly’s book is a powerful, rich, bold account of how God helped her fight fear and lessons you can take into your own battle against fear.

My 12 favorite parts of this book:

  • Definition of a fear fighter, page 16
  • Kelly uses a contemporary God-voice in scripture-based prayers.  So fresh and relevant!  Example on page 22.
  • Her story about seeing the world through Spirit-led tetrachromatic eyes, page 33
  • What she wants to tell the little girl inside about fighting fear, page 55
  • Five ways to fight the enemy, and ten things the enemy wants you to believe, page 71
  • Creating a prayer vase, page 85
  • What God does with your feelings, page 89
  • Hope vs. worry:  the stop, drop, and roll technique, page 101
  • How the Holy Spirit works in you, page 134
  • The Holy Spirit as a love dispenser, page 152
  • What God says about your past, page 157
  • Reprogramming and redirecting, page 161

This is how I will apply Kelly’s teaching to my fears in 2017:

  • Say sayonara to my fears about finances, since we face a big tax bill in April.  God will provide!
  • Bid adieu to fears about raising my first teenage child in a darkening culture, since God holds us all in his righteous right hand.
  • Kiss fear goodbye as I continue to self-publish Bible studies.  I don’t know if they will provide a decent income, and I don’t know if I will secure a contract with a major publisher this year.  God is faithful, and I’m trusting in His perfect timing.
  • I will create a prayer vase to record my prayers, and unfold them at the end of 2017 to be wowed by God’s steadfast commitment to me.
  • I will renew my relationship with the Holy Spirit, praying specifically that He will alleviate my fears.
  • I will offer up my past to my heavenly Father, allowing him to sift and search me for any unforgiveness and residual fears.
  • I will place my trust in him as I travel to writer’s conferences, not fearing what is to come but trusting God will open new doors of blessing!

I wrote much more about how Kelly’s book spoke to my fear of abandonment.  Visit this link to read my post.
