How do we overcome fear?

Fear is a natural emotion

• learning how to redirect and guide these emotions

• the 'unknown' produces the most amount of fear and naturally we will have an adrenaline dump of fear because our brain has not been in that time and space before and our brain doesnt know if we have the skills to navigate that because we havent before. This is where our brain tries to control us and act differently

• through training and entering into this fear this is where we learn what is an irrational fear and what is not

• we need to redirect this into a healthy motivation
  
  

There is a good fear and bad fear

• Fear is a good emotion that God gave us, but there is good fear and bad fear

• God gave you fear to stay away from things that will hurt you - this is good fear eg learning to stay away from putting your hand in fire and getting burnt, from animals that might hurt you etc

• when you are afraid, what is the threat? is it a real threat or is it a psychological threat?

• most of our fears are not real, they are imagined and hightened by an over zealous brain
  

A lot of time fear will come from new opportunities

• God will open up a big opprotunity and it will be over your head - this may cause fear and satan will want to keep you in fear to keep you from doing God's will

• God will keep putting you in situations that challenge you to believe in him more than you are afriad - and it will be a little bit more over your head, a bit more, until its a lot over your head

• this will lead to learning how to listen to Him and trust Him
  
  
  

God gives us fears to challenge our limiting beliefs and heal us

• what are your biggest fears? we have to confront them and write them down because it exposes them and this gives opportunity for Jesus to heal them.

• We have to bring everything to the light
  
  
  

Don't let fear make the decision, fear is just a messenger - is it real feal or false fear

• It is not fearless, its fearing less fear will always be there - its about having courage

• the bible says 'have no fear' 365 times
