Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back

• The lazy man says, “There’s a lion in the street and I can’t do I can’t do the work. I can’t f go after the dream. I can’t go to college. I can’t I can’t do what I thought I would do with my life because there’s a lion in the street.” He creates an imaginary problem for justifying staying inside of that place of defeat.
• He excuses himself from doing what he ought to do, what he’s supposed to be and what he’s supposed to accomplish in life because he’s living in excuses. Well, everybody else or this or that or this or that. And it’s nothing but lions in the street. There is not a lion in the street. It’s an imaginary problem.
• Meaning meaning that the enemy has filled the mind of this man with the concept, what’s the use? You can’t do it. And he’s making up an excuse that there’s a lion. But it’s an imaginary lion. You need to be set free from your fear in this new year, your inhibitions, your doubts, and your unholy imaginations because they will hold you back.
• They will defeat you and they will rob you of God’s will for your life. You need to say like the Apostle Paul said in Philippians chapter 4 and verse 13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Enough with the excuses. Enough with justifying failure in your life. If you want to get free, you can get free.
• If you want to change, you can change. If you want to be a better person, you can be a better person. If you want to have joy, you can have joy. It’s a lion in the street. And that lion has convinced you in your mind that you cannot change. But I’m here to slay some lions today with the word which is the sword of the spirit.
