Exterminating Fear

By: Leanna Lenhart “Her Story”

Erase the fear from your life.

2nd Timothy 1:7
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline”.

As I look back at my life and where I am now there is one thing that has always came up and that is Fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of Rejection, fear of being alone, fear of what could be. Overall it is FEAR. It says in the bible there is no place for fear if you have faith in Jesus our saviour. Did you know that fear is mentioned in the bible 500 times?

Fear begins in the mind. With that being said it is important to be aware of the state of your mind. What are you thinking about? What are you allowing to feed your mind? It is important to speak truth over your life.
Don’t allow the enemy to sneak in and put fear in your mind. Fear is a spirit. If you have the spirit of fear on you, then you don’t get to operate in the spirit of Love, power, and a sound mind! God has not given us the spirit of fear he has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline.

This means that we must be bold and have confidence and use the power God has given us. Secondly we need to love as Christ has loved us. And lastly we must have self-discipline to the things of God and to fight against the spirit of fear. I would watch people do businesses via facebook using facebook live to do live sales , i really enjoyed watching live pearl parties, and i got the idea to start my own business.

I was afraid that I wouldn’t have many customers or wouldn’t be good enough. I was allowing fear to stop me from starting my business. Then I remembered the scripture 2 Timothy 1:7 , and I prayed, and told myself I can do this. I decided to face that fear and create my business Leanna’s Treasures. My business is a pearl show and more.

Here are some ways that helped me work through that fear :
1. Just do it- Go for it give it a try! By trying I could have two outcomes: it could be successful or not. I would not know what the outcome would be if I didn’t try.
2. Believe you can! Tell yourself you are able and proclaim it, with self declarations.
3. Have Faith over Fear! Your faith is greater than your fear!
